Friday Night Norwich City Rides

cool, friday night will be aces.

Sparky, you still going to do saturday if you do friday night?

Aye, I think so. Got the seatpost sorted and had a ride today. Up for a bit more over the weekend.

I should be up for a spin Friday night, depends what time we leave though as I'll have all my stuff from work with me and will have to cycle back to Dereham afterwards.

Sparky - Saturday sounds good to me chap, probably won't worry about donning the lycra if you want to go slower?

Friday I'm up for leaving early-ish, cutting out the usual faff if we can. 6.30 from the forum? Leave on the dot?

What are you thinking route-wise? If the Ribble is back from Specialised (should be picking it up tomorrow if they've managed to find some of Campag's stupid non-standard sized bearings) and the weather is good (not taking it out in the pissing-down rain this soon after a service) I'm in.

Norwich > Great Yarmouth

Saturday sounds good to me lads. My new bike has started making a weird clicking noise which I've got to look at at some point, so I might bring the fixed along.

Clicking is normally the bb... That sucks. Is that on the Bianchi. I am going to try and swap shifts with someone later so I can come out on the Friday night. If not I will be out Saturday night... Watch this space!

looks like i may have to work saturday now,

But i'm defo still on for friday, I'll give Tom a shout and see if he wants to pop out again...

Winner!

Norwich > Great Yarmouth

And back? Would be 50 miles, so should be able to do it in 4 hrs max with a stop for cake & coffee, be back in time for a pint in Norwich.

We can train back, or we can not. I'm not bothered. I just want to finish work and go ride. And see Keppel's workshop. And leave without giving him the money to build me a Bug.

I find out tomorrow if I am working saturday or sunday.

Hope I can swap shifts. Defo head out to yarko through brundall and that sort of way. Ride south towards lowestoft (maybe further south), then back?

What is it with you? No matter what route, you have to extend it...

You ever thought about doing a round-the-world?

Talking of which - MSN has Palin's around the world in 80 days online. 1988. Awesome.

Now watching this one.

Just shaved 10 mins off my PB for the Norwich Tri route - first half was better, second half worse, something to do with the wind maybe?.

Specialised did a proper job of the Ribble, feels better than it did new. Only gripe is with Campag and their stupid £25 each cartridge bearings. WAC.

Hahahaah, funny. I would but I'd end up going around 1 1/2 times round. Nah, just like the extra challenge and learning different routes.

Also I am not supprised Dan, Specialised Cycles are by far the best in the city, closely followed by Borwells. Proper bike shops, with proper mechanics!

Might pop in there next time I've got time to kill, I usually find most of the bike shops in Norwich are quite good, apart from Hellfrauds.

haha,

I know nothing of these air cooled VW's.

I may have a bit of an idea if you have to put water in it!

So, I'll be at the forum at 6.30. Going to leave at 6.45 - people in?

Possibly, but I did 30 miles yesterday, another 40 this evening, and my legs may be telling me to have a rest day tomorrow.

I'm assuming you mean Friday night rather than Saturday morning. If so.....

yesssss!

I'll try and bring young Thomas with me too!

OK, one story done. One to go. Hoping to leave on time, get home and fed, changed and swap my dutchie for something faster, then back to Forum to see if anyone turns up.

If they don't I'm going for a curry then pretending that I did 45 miles in two hours. Then home again. Faster.

Decided to take my legs advice on that rest day. You still riding tomorrow?

Whats the plan on a ride tomorrow? I might ride up to the coast if not.

Gonna get tonight out of the way and see what's going on.

Nice one, give me a text if you can chap as I've lost your number!

Done.

Nom nom nom. Eating. Then out to the Forum.
