Tuesday Night Ride Club '09

excellent Ved, i think i have seen that hill before. it used to be on my ride to nursery school back in the day.

trnk - very welcome dude. what ya baking?

wtf! you telling me you climbed that fncker on one of these?

It's a good job Sam doesn't have SKHA status, riding gears would see that rescinded!

give him a break andy! he did do the IoW on sunday. He told me he did that brakeless and riding backwards.

more like one of these Ved. i rocked Ourys though as my mum wouldn't let me ride gripless.

This shit ain't tonight, right?

next week wools. seven days from today.

see ya out East

I can't bake for shit; I may impress upon my housemate to help me rustle up some power flapjacks on the bank holiday. Don't ask me what the power implies just yet...

This may be a bit of a schoolboy question, but do people tend to ride these geared or fixed?

last ride was five geared, seven fixed. so choose your weapon of choice, stick a decent light on it, and come along.

Great stuff! Any guidance about GI, aside from the length of a piece of string? I usually ride 50x17 through the city and I find that pretty comfortable, but it's usually flat where I'm riding. Does that sound like suicide?.. I just haven't been up a hill in a while :)

50x17 would be suicidal. I think most of the TNRC are riding a gear around the 70" mark. I spin for the win and ride 48x19, which is around 66".

So was I, found it a bit to spiny though...

That's my normal riding gear these days Gina. Saves on my old knees. :-)

I ride it in town as well but it was killing me downhill.

excellent work boys! high quality recce. we'll just have to call the trains later

I am indeed dude. Providing it stays clear I'd like to put myself down as 99%. Darkness and rain droplets on my glasses ain't a good mix. And before anyone says it...I don't do contacts.

Is everyone riding this with clipless pedals? I've been debating whether to get me some shoesies...

Thanks for the advice; leg implosion averted...

No worries. Gav (polkinghorn on here) did the Surrey Hills ride last August on a 77" gear. I don't think his knees have forgiven him yet.

I'm no Sean Kelly. I'm more like this:
