Hi , anyone in Kettering area , up for a ride , and coffee or just a get together . There must be other people in the area ???

I'm a one-time resident of K-town. Happy days..

Hi , seems like a dead zone for single speed and fixed riders

Too bad. I hear they're opening up the Wickies track sometime soon, for bikes. I came up last time. Too many kiddies and nodders to get speed up though. Shame.

Quite a few fixed and single speed in Northampton. I see people daily although I don't know any of them.

Yes , I see a few in Kettering , some going to station in the mornings , nice looking bikes to . I'm always on my way to work and don't have to stop and chat .
Just think it would be good to get together for ride or cafe stop .

Reviving this thread for a help question - does anyone know of a good bike shop in Northampton that could true a wheel for me at short notice (ie tomorrow)

Audax ride on Sat but need to be at work all day in Northampton omorrow. Checked evrything on the bike yesterday and rode it - a spoke must have pinged as I put it away - anyway back wheel is well out - bike B not really ideal for a 200K Audax (same is true of bikes C-J)

Hopefully...

Why thank you Owen- ill bear that in mind for next time. I split my time between Northampton and Peterborough- a proper high roller!
