@STE5 & fussballclub - Pond Square/top of Swains Lane around 7pm, for sensible rush hour cruise up to Potters Bar for 7.45/8pm?

i'm out

of spare lights benjam, but glad friday can step in.

^^7:00pm Swain's people, could I give you a light to pass onto Benjam?

7pm at Swains sounds perfect. I'll see you all there.

I'll pass on the light to Benjam.

I'm in...

... the mood to push the pace a bit. I'll do some weights tonight to render my legs incapable of following through with the threat of placing a hammer in a lower position to that in which it initially rested.

Either that or join me for pre ride Swains sprints.

^Lights. Good. Cheers.

Either that or join me for pre ride Swains sprints.

i) hill sprints now are not going to help me ride very fast for 10 or 25 miles next year.

ii) if I did them, I'd be too fucked (and you'd be too demoralised) to ride to Potters Bar :p

ii) if I did them... you'd be too demoralised... to ride to Potters Bar :p

Ha, yes most likely. Though I suspect being thoroughly spanked going up Swains would be very motivating for my training

... are toblorone darks mandatory on this ride?

...my question stands.

Yes

also, new riders have to bring sufficient 100g toblerone bars to feed the masses.

This

… but not get them all melty in their jersey pockets.

not quite the ten tasks of "one armed, one legged hercules", but still quite a chore.

The pace will now be mellow:

--------------------------------------THIS RIDE IDS CAPPED -------------------------------

Let me know ASAP if the first train is too early for you. Don't switch unless you ok it with me first or swap with another rider.
if your name isn't on the list then i assume you are riding out.
@ bainbridge - you on the train?
@ all - if you bail , do it quick and clear your name from the train so someone else can take your place in good time. get to the station in plenty of time to get group action.

@ everyone - please try to be sensible on the outbound train e.g. 2 bikes per doorway maximum. Even on the earlier 4 carriage train there are 8 doorways, which allows for 8 TNRCers and 8 randoms.

Thanks.

Hi all,
I'm still without a light. Does anyone have a spare I can borrow? I can be up swains/ anywhere tomorrow to collect it as I'm not working.
Thanks

hey I sold mine to adoubletap

i'm almost hoping for a downpour. a wet and windy ride please!!!!

It would make a nice change.
