Surrey Sunday Training Club (SSTC)

Solo rides can be also freedom!

....they can also mean that you can't keep up

Btw these rides are guided, and difficult passages are always indicated. Not on the thread though.

hiding behind me??? it's just stretch of road i don't like ... nevermind, i'll still ride it!

I am officially tired.

I've made all the necessary preparations, save for asking a flatmate to massage my thighs, but if I start crying tomorrow then just let me be. I'll be fine.

6pt's pulled out of this to do the Rapha tart ride (you can tell where his priorities lie), so there's a space on the train now. Might meet you down there if I can work out somewhere to park.

Edit: Turns out Dorking station car park is free on Sundays. Will be driving down from Bromley, PM if you're local and want a lift.

*****Train list closed*****

**Train reserve list: **

Jaygee and I will join the train at Clapham Junction. Can we confirm that we are travelling to Dorking main station and not Dorking West train station where the ride starts? (the times are different and trains are not direct).

the Rapha tart ride (you can tell where his priorities lie)

No doubt! But he is excused, we know his cake taste.

Vee, I'm not sure, maybe damo knows better than me, if not no worry, Dorking is small and we will get in radio contact.

Dorking main.
about to text you two.

I'm still coming (in case there was any doubt). I'm leaving home now. Could someone groupsave me up and I give them the dorra when I arrive? See ya soon!

Saw you guys coming up Dorking Road - fine specimens of cyclitude to be sure...

That was a blast, guys. Mark me down as a regular from now on.

(tucking into another beer, and toast and Nutella. Joy)

Great ride! Props to Damo and Marcom for organising.

Thank you everybody for helping clock up the miles this weekend. Sorry if I was sometimes a bit cranky during the ride. Very civilised beers as well after the ride! Finally: what do I know about trains.

Ludwig, this^ post is weak!

Ludwig, this^ post is weak!

Send your hitmen. I will deal with them.

you or Eddie?

No, I don' t do that kind of work myself.

You're all starting to sound like cycling hardmen and hardwomen, taming all that Surrey throws at you…

We're getting there, we're getting there.

I've fucking been there. Twice.

^hahahahahaa! what a liar!

Despite the shitest ever start, i would say another great day out with a lot of SSTCners.
The Winterfold section was amazing, I know, better in the opposite way.... soon!
I must admit that I suffered a bit in a few moments, but I don't really give a fuck now, has been a day rich of human contacts, and that is what I love the most; but not always!
Big props to habby for climb Leith in 68GI.
Great it was finally meet properly Vee Vee!
But I'm sorry for miss a contact with Jenny, doesn't matter she is regular now, so next time!
For the boys I don't say anything, they are just a bunch deaf bastards!!!
Lots of love to everyone who was there!

P.S. a cute interlude

It was rad!

Special thanks to Dov for teaching me how to use my great-granny gears. 28x32 FTW!
Marcom for putting up with us.
My Garmin for showing me the route.
My husband for cooking tonight's dinner last night.

mwah

28x32, is that what you gte out of the triple? whow!

I really wasn't up for it at times. Maybe a nutritional thing. Felt a bit shite physically, and those shorts made my balls ache :(
By the time me and matty did the involuntary extra miles, I was already cooked.

On the upside we had great weather, great scenery, and even the ride out there wasn't so bad in comparison to the A25.
I loved going up and past that race track, and even the extra bit matty and me did was gorgeous, like straight out of Bambi.

Silliest moment of the day when the Garmin lead us into the dead end in Dorking.

Nice to meat everyone I haven't met before, Jenny, VeeVee and the other boys who's names I forgot already.
