Looks like this could be fun/painfull. Will have to see closer the time.

good work jim.

more than likely in on gears for this (pending conditions etc)

have not even sat on a bike for 2 weeks and did little riding before xmas so will not be in great shape but need to get back out there...

top work joe.

thanks for heads up :)

Da Coach has me pencilled in for all of the series.

hi, new guy here. i'm gonna go to this.

looks tough - hoping my training on the relatively tiny ascents of epping have sufficiently prepared me...

I won't be able to manage this fixed at the moment I think...its all down to whether I get the headset on my FP2 fixed in time. Looking good so far...

i'm very happy to do this geared.

weather had changed pretty sharpish so will be keeping an eye on the forecast.

i reckon i am gonna suffer. have only ridden twice since 3 weeks off the bike, just a few miles with a few crystal palace hills and my legs are sore today!

will commute mon - thurs and rest legs fri - sat so hopefully will be ok sunday.

gears for me too and will not be fast.

i was off the bike for six weeks before chrimbo and ain't been on it too much since.

pace won't be to high and for every up there is always a down.

:)

glad i will not be the only one in that boat :)

i might bring my walking shoes...

After being motorpaced around the area by BMMF the other week, this should be a doddle..

we will be chasing down your wheel then sir.

I have a club dinner the night before.. you might not want to ride down wind..

will keep that in mind.

so for those needing a train the details are as follows.

london euston to apsley
departure - 08.23
arrival - 08.50

looks about twelve quid although we can magic groupsave with appropriate numbers.

trains back are 27 minutes past and 17 minutes to although the half past trains are quicker.

Weather is looking like sunny spells but windy. Early for an accurate forecast though.

New cartridge bearings today so all going well I'll be IN

it is a bit early for any real accuracy in the forecasts...

^ i reckon with some certainty that it will be fairly chilly!

Chilly, windy and with a side order of paaaaaaaain!

Sounds a bit like my dinner last night with a few minor changes to spelling.

is it silly that i am conisdering doing this fixed?

is it silly that i am conisdering doing this fixed?

not silly at all.

lets make a call come friday or summat.

cool
