• ^I'm over at Old Street, finishing at 6pm, which to me feels a toenail too far for Kew @ 7pm. That said, mebe it is doable with only a marginally early release from work.

    At the moment my fitness is pretty reasonable. I'm often out for 50mi+, and Swain's is a regular fixture. I do ride by myself quite a bit, it's just co-ordinating myself with a group with which I'm a little unsure. I guess this reinforces the need to ride out with you lot to see how I fare.

    I'm out this evening (with a possible spell around Regent's park beforehand); though I'll definitely check with boss about slying out early for the next run, and I'd be very greatful for a rear wheel on the way out West.

    Out of interest, since the start of the year I've had booked off a week in September for a London - Edinburgh ride. I then arrive at this forum, ride alongside other people for a bit, and suddenly the long days with only an MP3 player for company seem less appealing.

    Cheers for the time spent writing responses. I'll keep an eye out for future Thursdays.
