2011-04-03 Sun - Cambridge ride. Fixed-wheel bicycle required

You could just bring your mother on the ride.

skully = mother

I think I'd have to pay to get mum on a bike.
And she ain't cheap.

Oh dear, sorry Wicksie, massive planning fail. You'll be missed.

Pants. I guess I'll just have to ride to go see her.
Probably would have chosen the ride if it wasn't for the fact that this will be my last one in the same country as her.

Have fun guys.

So sorely tempted to join you guys tomorrow. London to Cambridge is a fairly comfortable ride for me when I'm on gears but I've only been riding fixed for a few weeks.

I feel like I've taken to it like a duck to water but have never ridden further than 25mi fixed. I'm stuck on 72GI at the moment too. Not sure whether there are any hills on the way.

I'd like to say fuck it and give it a go but I really don't like the idea of being dropped and having to find my way back from somewhere miles away from a train station. I know you chaps and ladies would accomodate me within reason but think I'll leave this until next time.

Your luck's in then - this isn't tomorrow.

fucking lol.
Just come.

I'd like to say fuck it and give it a go but I really don't like the idea of being dropped and having to find my way back from somewhere miles away from a train station.

Dude, you won't get left behind on this trip, trust me you'll be fine. Not many Hills on the way either and only smalls ones.

Ha ha ha...I read third month not fourth. And also, 7th day. I'm not doing well today.

Fine, in that case, I've got plenty of time to man up and grow a pair.

Cheers for the words of encouragement ladies and ladychaps

Possibly add my sausage to the fest. Will be dependant on delicate negotiations about mothers day though...Mrs-ru generally likes to lie about idley eating peeled grapes while I wrangle kids.

I should add - the request people ride without gears isn't a bit shit, that's unfair: there are TONS of rides on this forum, and no one has ever asked that, yet the forum is dedicated to that very detail - riding without gears.

But you (or anyone) would be welcome to ride on whatever contraption you see fit, if you so desire / have medical necessity thereof. I started a thread. You lot make the ride. It's not like anyone can ever control this lot. Which is a good thing.

Why not choose your two favourite gears and just use them?

ok fair enough, maybe I was a bit harsh. I'll come along and up the female contingent, though dublinkevin will probably come as well, so that kinda negates the estrogen boost. oh well, you can't win them all! Looking forward to it.

fff... if this goes over 50 I'm out...

• not really.
  
  

** makes me feel a bit twitchy though

*** not that I'm actually in, either....

Flounce fail^

No longish ride out of London is ever bigger than 30, no matter how many sign up...
