Occassional Midweek evening Rides MCR

Now it's getting lighter and I'm gonna be doing some club TT's fixed at some point this summer, so will be doing some rides fixed as part of prep.

If anyone is interested in hour + evening rides, at a speed that should make you sweat a bit, then please let it be known.

Will generally depart South Manc for the flatlands around Tatton etc.

Lycra shorts not required.

Yeah, maybe when I've got my fixed built up!

Nice one.

can lycra be worn? i only ride in lycra, white lycra that enhances...

this sounds fun but where the flip is tatton?

Lycra optional then.

Tatton Park, head out past Hale and a village called Ashley.

yeah might be up for it, give us a little more info? Distance, average speed ect.

I'm a sprinter*, so I need to really work on my stamina for longer rides.

*not actually a sprinter.

im up for some fixed rides, let us know

give us a little more info? Distance, average speed ect

For a ride to Tatton, for example, i'd hope it'd be somewhere around 45 mins going out then same back (always try and come back quicker though). That'd be just over 14 miles there.

First few rides we'd have to agree to go at pace of slowest, however if the idea is to get a sweat on we will have to find a way to make that happen for all if there's a vast difference in speed for given effort across folks. Hard to say really until it's happening though.

I tend not to ride with speedo or hrm on my fixed bikes, so it'll all be on feel. Guess it'd be a case of suck it 'n see and anyone else can say if they felt it was good to do, or should be changed and maybe if so what would make it better.

.

sounds ideal I was trying to find an excuse to ride more.

ok, probably go for next week... watch this space.

.

depending on if my hoops and spokes arrive today I might roll out this eve, short notice I know will post again about 4pm if anyone is interested, leaving 6pm ish for an hour. might need lights on way back?

.

forum knowledge cheaper than shop no? post symptoms here next time....

not riding, just had call that hoops are in to collect so will be lacing instead as need to test ride front tomorrow ideally. going for run with gf too.

mebbe next week, tho it's gnr's I think?

.

yeah, sounds like that should be free for sure if you've only had 6 weeks riding it.

bump... lovely day, anyone fancy an hour or so later 5 or 6 ish?

Won't be fast, just nice 'n steady.

set a date with a bit of notice and il be up for it, one night next week maybe?

Tues? Thursday? That's polo night tho is it?

P.s. Tag "paul is rhb" who is Paul? (edit - general question, not specifically asked of you V)

Paul is also known as Chucklebruv and Len.

I'd be up for a ride next week too BTW.

Nice one Ronnie.

weather is ok, so think an hour and a half or so of low power is in order this eve, starting hardy lane/barlow moor rd, 6pm ending up at the pop up 'ok cafe' for tonights fundraiser... anyone interested?
