2013-04-13 - HHSB & Steel is Real ride to Brighton (9:30am Clapham South)

Do it fixed.
I havent done any long distance before but am going to do some longish rides to warm up for it. It's going to be pretty relaxed i think

I might bring the interesting argos lo-pro if it's built by then...

That Argos is ridiculous. You building it geared or fixed? If I wasn't so over ridden with bikes and projects I would've bought it myself.

Its my first real long haul ride, is it wise to do on single speed fixie ?? or should I wimp out and switch to 18t free wheel ?

Might be an idea to get some miles in before hand, the pace won't be ridiculous but we'll hope to make progress.

would you put deep crabon wheels tho?

^ I'm afraid it's going to be a cheap fixed build for now, but when leave uni and start a job in September, the fun can begin.

if i can get over on that weekend i'd love to join you guys although it will prob be on the runaround and not so salve...

This ride is shaping up nicely! Even with the 20% LFGSS Flounce rate will still be a good turnout.

would you put deep crabon wheels tho?

I think grey box section on high flange hubs, with gum walls.

Apollo, why did you change JB to jakebrown!?

Count yourself lucky

At least people still know who yours is!

I need to get this bike done so I can get some miles in..
DO we have a route planned?

really, Borgan?

Standard slave to Brighton I guess, Laner has volunteered to navigate, as long as we don't bomb off downhill, miss the turning, and take a 15 mile "short cut" again....

(I preferred that route.)

Will have to get the risers back out, road drops and levers will be totally unsuitable for ditchling

Y u no cambridge (& back)... such a fast route...

ahh.... I call it the "The Red Hook"

off roading on carbon wheels was rad

theres an offroad section? sounds like fun!

does not compute

It was, pretty sure Apollo walked it though.

I rode the first bit, then got off as soon as the rocks were above the height of the tyre profile.

fuck that!

Call yourself a fixeh skidder?

Weak.

u no wanna scratch them expensive rims?

I'd rather not go offroad if thats all okay with you lads. Unless for a halfway picnic #nohomo

dont worry there wont be any off roading

Aww I enjoy a little HHSCX
