What sort of average were you guys doing? Keir claimed 17mph but that seems way too slow. (He didn't really seem to know--I don't think he had a computer, so I don't know where his speed estimates came from.)
he doesnt have a computer
i think we did around 28km per hour average -
Hi Will. Sorry, couldn't remember whether you'd told me your username. Thanks very much for volunteering to backstop and helping with route finding around Chelmsford!

averages - well we were hovering around 13/14 mph from lea valley to high beach after that it must have jumped to 20 for the fast group. felt like 20. my comp said 18mph overall after 100. that's impresive in anyones language
oliver meister - es ist kein meister von himmel gefallen! (forgive spelling) vague intros were made along the way and the lads were perfect gentlemen .
- that lozenger shape roundabout is way before whipps cross which is surely more pastel shaped? ;)

Indeed. I don't think I would have been able to keep up with that all the way (mainly owing to my lack of ability of riding in groups, but also because form is still building--but I was pleased I got up North Hill quite easily).

Ah, then you may mean this one?
[quote]Oliver, Meister - es ist noch kein Meister vom Himmel gefallen!
[/quote]Tsk, tsk, Gina, you missed out a couple of things ... ;)(NB expressions of the form don't work in German, so that I've interpreted it as an expression like --still unidiomatic but possible.)
I'm sure Keir will be interested in your altitude stat, Gina. I'll pass it on!

it was a bit hilly for me
You did brilliantly, tika--excellent ride!
-
I wouldn't have expected you to. You were on top of it all the way and didn't have to bust a gut.
-
What gear were you riding Tika?
-
Ah I wasn't there, a personal marathon ride in the morning and laziness for the rest of the day put paid to that. Just interested for any long distance rides in the future :)

next time
:)

Don't forget the next CCH event--grass track racing at the Well Street Common Festival on Sunday the 17th May.
See the OP for the flyer.

Dear oh dear, you didn't even make introductions? Bike rider stereotypes in full effect. And in case of protest that you were riding too hard, there was a cafe stop ... ;)
That'll be the Whipps Cross roundabout, then.
