There seems to be a view that fixed is only suitable for riding in areas where there are no hills.
Come and disprove this.
If I was ever much of *grimpeur *then those days are long behind me. I will pick a route which will get us to the higher ground without any balls breaking steep climbs.
I will not post a route beforehand, since where we go will depend on the strength and inclination of whoever turns up, but I have a number of possibilities in mind. From Amersham I intend to head northwest towards the Dunstable Downs and/or Ivinghoe Beacon.
Let’s remember that any cycling on the road is potentially dangerous, and although I’ll try to pick safe roads you come along at your own risk. There will be some steepish descents, so effective brakes are essential.
I realise this is rather short notice, but the Autumn is pressing on, and I wanted to get this in.
Please post if you want to come.
Meet 10 am Amersham Station (Metropolitan Line).
Leave 10.15.
