Starley ride

I guess every one else will be riding fixed?

Yeah buddy!

Well i ride my road bike a bit like a fixed gear in a way

Pick a gear then tape over your gear levers so you can't change ;D

Then i can't cheat!

It doesn't matter what you ride :) It's just about riding and having some fun!

I'll have to practice my road bike skids so i can pretend its fixed :P

I'm away again this weekend. Bloody hell...

Sod fixie skidding. My knees aren't much cop for that!

Skids for emergencies only. I like having working knees! :D

Skids do get easier after a while, choosing certain parts help to, straining away on a high gear ratio seems to make my knees ache

So what's the route? I need to start my training ASAP!

Hah. I'm thinking something relaxed, as I have the Vaughans charity ride on Sunday (40 miler). How about meeting in Kenilworth?

What's this charity ride? Sounds fun!

I've signed up to the 40 mile ride, but we'll see how it goes!

Is it this route? http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/72953068/?open_ive_done=1&new_route=1

Do I have to sign up? Might join you. Riding fixed? Drafting partners.

i reckon we meet cov 12.30 starley statue then proceed via any route we choose to leamington meet joseph in leam then proceed somewhere else !!

^^Yep, that's the route. I'm thinking maybe fixed. Got a buddy riding it too but I think we'll be taking it relatively easily. I'm not in the shape I was in last year!

Do I have to sign up? I think I might pop along too!

Yeah, sounds cool, I'll be awake by 1pm - I hope!

How about we meet at the Starely statue, ride out to Kenilworth and meet Joseph/A&P and anyone else there and do Rouncil lane or something like that. Nice quiet country roads out to the west of Kenilworth. Could even head up to The Case for a pit stop ;) (they take cash only).

Something like this maybe?

Looks good. Especially the last part. Sprint finish! :D

It's not very clear from that, but suggesting the start is head west and then north, then back down Red Lane.

Ok. Let's get this organised!

Meet 12:30 at Starley Statue. Ride out to Kenilworth to meet Joseph, A&P and anyone else coming over from Leamington for about 1/1:15pm at the Starbucks on the hill.
