just looking at the route. the last mile is going to be fun that strech after Daws Hill has very fine tarmac.

it all looks pretty fun to me

The stretch after Daws Hill is perfect for winding down/getting your breath back.

Just realised that it's actually a 56" when you account for the 29er wheels/tyres :(
So i'll have to man up and ride fixed anyway.

/No phallic references

Can't do this one as I have a very important meeting starting early the next day and preceeded by a long drive.

For those without night vision glasses, here's the view from Exedown taken last Sunday.

^repp'd for not pumping up tyres to maximum.

I think we need to get this sorted. Possibly even a wheelchair attached by bungee cords to the bike of one of our powerhouse rouleurs like Will, Sean, or Sam.

I take it you mean either Braker or Pistolero.

Can't do this one as I have a very important meeting starting early the next day and preceeded by a long drive.

I hope you 'enjoyed' the daylight experience, Colin.

Did you go down the road from St Mary Cray to Eynsford? If so, how is the gravel now? Planning to do a bit of both Kent routes tomorrow you see.

Eagerly awaits Roydon Rolleur Ride to dip my toes back into TNRC

how are things ved?

back on the bike building up slowly. physio reckons i have to pilates to strengthen my core. back still not great but at least I can ride :)

slowly....

do the pilates i found it a great help, just don't over extend yourself , it feels easy but can really be bad if you go too advanced too soon. i used to see a cranio sacral (spell check that) osteopath and it worked.

^^Your core's pretty ripped as it is. You must be about to chug down the l-glutamine and turn up the reppage to the bitchslapping max.

hellz yeah
