Tuesday Night Ride Club (TNRC)

Sorry, only trying to help didn't mean to mess with

Da management.

I'm out for this one, gents. See you in a couple of weeks.

Wow, ride announced to ride capped in 8 hours. We're gonna need to get some bigger trains. Oh well, wasn't going to be able to make the ride anyway, I'm going to pretend that having an old friend visit from far away makes up for the disappointment of missing this ride.

Not done this one before, looks to be a nice route.

Reserves list

Calleva
Wools
Sasmon

How much do I need to contribute to the Awards Ceremony beer fund in order to secure automatic first refusal on a TNRC list slot?

Star Hill and Bayley's Hill are the ups, Sundridge is the severe down. If anyone wants more info, they'll probably get results as search terms on here.

Not forgetting the descent of Ide Hill Road.

sam, if i do this on gears am gonna go all out for this descent. watching you go for it was such a blast last year.

Thinking about the speed record again Sam?

The kent rides are probably the closest starts from london only 21-22 miles out from London Bridge to Otford, if its good weather its not a bad run out.(apart from OKR etc)

^whatever

i've got to meet up with and run a few train ideas past jonny tonight and then find sometime in the day tomorrow to post up the lists with extra places etc. reserve list has been noted. I might ride out to try and free up a space. i'm confident we can get 25 - 30 out on the trains

@ tim - ;) sorry dude. didn't mean for you to be looking over your shoulder all day.

Could be up for hitting 50mph (got 49.5 on the original recce for this route last year) but I don't have a computer on the bike any more.

platinum member of exclusive recce club :p

if i say i haven't got a light can i use it?? going to miss this one but will be in for the rest of the season.

Hey Texas, are you able to ride this one let me know as I can lend the light out to someone if you dont need it?

By the way, Google Maps streetview has now been extended to the sticks, so it might help you see what the hills are like on certain TNRC routes.

goes off to spot badgers

Oooof!

It's only just starting there. It's that next section which is the killer, it goes on and on and on.

Pinanator?

sam was that 49.5mph fixed?

^nope, but I hit 40.5mph in 69.6" fixed on the same descent (and won't be doing it again any time soon, thanks all the same).

they couldn't get the car up that far andy...too steep

This is interesting to compare Whitedown v Ranmore v a new slap in the face for me for the last two weekends, Winterfold @21% apparently starts at the lowest point and climbs to the highest in the area (SH)
