Cambridge Thursdays Social Ride

anyone got a spare rear fixed wheel they want to sell to me (ill trade in for anything up to 50 quid)

quite urgent, my wheel completely (irreparable now) disintegrated and i have no rear wheel. help?

Is that your polo wheel Will made ? I will have one i could loan once my H-son is done , i got you that stem too. Maybe build one from outspoken formula hub + open sport, 40 quid i'll supply spokes ?????

nah, its my road bike wheel

will's wheel is sort of fine, i tried to use the 14t sporcket on the cassette and in the first skid it screwed off, but the 28t seems to be still welded on there. I cant use this wheel for commuting though.....

ill see, if things come to worst, ill get a 20quid hub and rebuild a wheel myself.

can you wait a few days eddie?
i'm going to retire the lady polo bike. my plan was to keep it as a spare polo bike for anyone who wishes to use it. you can use the rear wheel to tide you over though for the meantime.

if i were you, i'd suck it in and get a new hub, only 20 squiddlies :)

i suppose i can wait a few days, but would love to make it to thursday ride with a wheel.
What are you gonna have as a polo bike then?

And i think i might have to actually fork out for an entire (strong deep v) wheelset cause ive managed to de-true my front wheel as well.

Hi all,

Been lurking for a while but now decided I'm up for getting in on this some this social ride/polo action...

Gonna join you guys this evening provided the weather holds out... See you around 7.

Spent ages drying out and cleaning my bike when i got home . You can see who the true hardy cyclists / nutters are on a night like last night . was wetter than a watery lasagne

Sort of sorry i didnt make it out, I was in london and managed to drop my chain in the bottom of the blackwall tunnel... Goooooo Death! Saying that Im glad i missed the delooge.

'kin hell man, you actually rode through the blackwall tunnel? mentalist!!

Nasty .....Cycling thru the blackwall tunnel at any time !

I'm riding tonight (somewhere) as last night wasn't exactly a long ride.....possibly gonna ride to Ely or maybe somewhere else...

anyone in?

if anyone wants to join in for a ride, give me a bell on 079053563 six two

where did we go last night out of interest, all that rain completely disoriented me...

we went to milton or histon, one of the two, through Girton, down Trumpington Road, Castle Street and to the pub :)
i think we've done that route before, albeit longer, so it should be on eddies google map thingymajig
nice to meet you fella, make sure you come polo!

just did 52mi in 2hours 10 minutes.
managed to catch up with some crazy triathlon dude right in histon and slipstream behind him through Chesterton/Over/St.Ives/Huntington/St.Neots/Toft/Cambridge and back to histon.

Those guys are actaully fucking quick......they just don't stop uphill or downhill.....it makes a difference having gears and all titanium parts :)
Didn't stop once at traffic lights coming back through cambridge, may have punctured a lung and broken my ass.....looking for body part doners

24 mph is pretty quick. did you have EPO with your cornflakes?

didn't you know gb? eddie sweats EPO

It was just like a massive 2 hour sprint basically, didn't stop a single time (luckily all the lights in the villages stayed green) and only jumped a few red ones in cambridge. But it was easier on my part as I didn't push against the wind as much as the guy in front of me, but he had gears and I only had one.

Did have pizza an hour before riding out and about 30 minutes in I was feeling it back up my throat, I almost threw up several times too.

hey guys, how long are the normal rides?
i Just finished building my bike, rode about 20k the other day and it wrecked me for a while.
other than that, I'm up for it.
