Tell us about your weekend ride

Same thing happened to me, had various jobs about town to do this afternoon and got caught up in all the traffic congestion, street after street where I wanted to go closed off. Did 13 miles this afternoon but it felt much longer!

Yep the traffic was a nightmare today.. Good trackstand practice though all that starting and stopping, but I should have gone south of the river to find some clear road..

And I missed the fireworks...

Rode 61 miles from Hackney to Bletchley yesterday with a steady 16.3mph average.

About to do the return leg now.

5 climbs of Swains Lane this morning before breakfast.
Also want to pay tribute today to two step fathers who served Queen and Country
Walter George Shorey 11th Armoured Div REME active service in Korea 1950-52 (George Cross).
Peter (Mahmoud) Norrington 45 Commando Royal Marines / SBS active service in Oman 1970.
peace

[QUOTE=sherbertflyingsaucer;1772059]I did see him off good and proper, he caught up with me at the red light at Pembury Junction, I live there but thought I'd do Pembury Rd just to teach him a second lesson, good training too..
2 pints and a ride home yes!.. I think less hair might have helped a bit as well.

i bet he's really smarting from the pain you unleashed upon him.

the bianchi rider was possibly coming back from a club run.
i guess that's better training than a bimble round the city and a couple of pints.

The only sensible course of action is to euthanize the lame geared Bianchi rider, and get sherbertflyingsaucer into a European pro development squad. I'll PM Velocio…

60kms Greenwich===>Kent. Mate got a puncture but once beyond bexley some v. nice countryside.
http://j.mp/dyr8U1. There is a longer version of this that goes further south into the next valley which is even prettier.

Another club run this morning. 50 miles at an easy pace, and a stop at a cafe for a slice of cake. No hills though :(

First ride for 3 weeks with a 12 day holiday in between equalled a horrible pathetic 35 mile soggy ride today.

It may have only been 20miles.
It may have been with my full Archie on my back.
But I fucking rode my road bike for the first time in 7 weeks and it felt fucking brilliant.
Just under an hour all told.
Comfy, fun and I can't wait to explore the Notts Flats over winter.

Big Beaming smile.

18 miles to Dulwich and back for the mid century modern show. Cold, wet and I really need some overshoes, but I got some lovely coasters.

Richmond Park, all good fun

What I was thinking.

i am up north this weekend and i rode with clayton velo.

nice ride today about 100k up the ribble valley to just past settle and back. the sun came out. on the way back we stopped at garden makers cafe for a spot of lunch.

saw two big pelotons. the preston wheelers and the north lancs road club.

nice day today.

and i will ride in the trough of bowland tomorrow morning.

smiles all round.

Did the return leg from Bletchley again today, 61miles at 16.3mph average on 67". Exactly the same as my journey there on Saturday and in exactly the same time and speed.

Lovely day despite a bit of drizzle and my sprocket coming off, which was puzzling.

Around Rye. Looked towards Dungerness, and turned round to find a chip shop in the rain.

Cycled out to Whiteleaf
