  • He can collect from me at work in Victoria and day this week, or I could drop off to him mid-afternoon on Monday.

  • If you're still happy to do this, when shall i meet you?
    You're quite welcome to the money from the sale for the hassle, i'm more interested in clearing stuff out of my for sale box.
    I was planning on early night tonignt but only just got home at 4am.
    I've been trying to reply to this thread at several parties including one that had a rabbit roaming around terrifying a cat.

  • ^ That there benjaminbunny has started this thread. Granted it's a Satuday and not a Friday but who's in?

  • Just posted in that thread. Strongly considering it, but haven't ridden long distances in ages, how hard would you rate it Jules?

  • Not that hard surprisingly.
    It was about 7 hours rolling time (46x18 SS) but it was a glorious sunny, hot day and I took my time and enjoyed it. Might be a bit more of a push fixed but other than a few hills on the coast it's mostly flat.

  • Just ran that gearing through Sheldon Brown, and it's a bit less than my 44x16, but if it's mostly flat I'd probably be ok with that. Any long stretches uphill and I find even gears in the low 70s start to really burn though, and there's only so much mashing you can do over 100 miles!

  • I did pass some guy from London last year grinding up the coast hills on some big arse gear. Think I annoyed him by bouncing alongside him chatting away on my spinney gear. He left me for dust later on a flat bit tho'.

  • Hahaha, yeah i died toward the end on my Dolan. Think I was pushing 48x16.

  • Plenty of people ride it without gears. I'm not one of them.

  • Anyone have a B road route from Norwich to Lowestoft I can have?

  • 'fraid not. Never ventured down that way myself. I can get you to Caistor :-)

  • No worries, I googled it and realised that I have done about 80% of it before on one of my "ride in any direction and see where I end up" rides.

  • Anyone fancy a ride this Friday? Was thinking of a trip to Reedham & back with obligatory pint in the middle.

  • ^ Yes

    • Will check with The Boss first though, make sure we aren't double booked :-)
  • Ok, Confirmed.

  • jdp: is there a route planned or would you like me to drum something up?

  • I have route ready ( which can include this if.it's not to dark: http://www.lfgss.com/post3604089-5519.html. )

    Will need your hardcore lights though.

  • Lights are on charge as we speak :-)

    No one else up for this yet?

  • Anyone doing any ride in Norwich area on 8th or 9th June? Visiting for the weekend and would like to meet up for ride if possible

  • I'm sure something can be arranged. I'll need to check if my wife has anything planned for Sat.

    What did you have in mind, night ride?

  • sure night right will be fine once I'm with riders who know the area.

  • anything going this week?

  • Bump. Lets try and get a Friday night ride going again peeps. Even if it is just to the The Fur & Feather and back

  • I keep hearing good things about the F+F im totally up for this.
