2010-04-25 Sun 10am - Revenge of the 50 Fixed Women!

First ride out w/ LFGSS. Scherrit said it was a very friendly bunch - but wow! Such a nice friendly welcome - everyone Many thanks to the kind marshals who risked life & limb (or at least being hooted at) to keep us all safe. It was a great route - but bum & 'other parts' a little the worse for wear. Serve me right for not getting out on my bike more!!

For anyone who is lurking here & is worried about coming along to an event (eg; I haven't got a fixed wheel bike, I'm a bit shy, I don't know anyone) - my advice is to come. I can honestly say I have never met such a friendly non-cliquey group. Plus, if we all chip in for some clipless pedals for Jenne - the entertainment will be priceless . . .

After watching that slo-mo fall I'll definitely put in for the pedals. Read about these so often on another forum, seeing it for real made my afternoon (once I realised she wasn't hurt).

Would be glad to join another ride if gears are allowed as yesterday's was the furthest I've ridden since getting on a bike 18 months ago. Got home, had dinner and crashed on the sofa so I really need to do some more long distance rides :).

Once again, thanks ladies!!
