How you thinking you will manage on the way back? To be honest with you I notice you mentioning road bike, I don't think I'll be good for you. I sold my road bike due to lack of usage and running out of funds. plan to get another once I am able to get bikes on trade at evanscycles (I work there), right now I'm riding my lil fixie but the gearing is perfect for all challenges I think regarding ascents.
Out of courtesy I'm letting you now ight now I will not hold it against you if you agree with me not being a fit for the group. If you'd still like my company than I have to say if by any chance I slow you down than please leave me behind. Infact, will tell you I'm dropping out if I get the feeling I am :)
Doubt it though :P
I will be riding back at about 7mph I expect; that is the pace I crawled back to Ipswich at last year. I am happy to ride with people on the way back but making no plans to; if I have to match other people's pace something disastrous will happen, and anyway I will need cigarette breaks every two miles.
regardless, For will and Tricity, I'm gonna have to pm you guys at a later date what's going down because my funds are seriously low, for me to do this I'm gonna need to consume some mountain of food and that costs money..money which I may not have.
will let you know closer to the day.
It would be cool to roll along with a few people, so I'll definitely let you know when we're setting off etc, and i have no problem with people just catching a draft for as long as they feel like (I'll be letting my mate do most of the work anyway) But as far as fag breaks go, I'll be having my first smoke in 24hours at the Pub in the park with a pint of guinness, I never feel the need when I'm riding, and it feels sooo good when you finally have one.
