Had a good spin around Epping way this morning. Lots of headwinds on the way out and tailwinds on the way home. The big man upstairs was smiling on me in that respect.
Was minding my own business going down London Rd near Toot Hill when all of a sudden I was swamped by a load of Hackney CC riders blasting along, so I joined them for 20 mins or so. I would have stuck with them longer as they seemed happy for me to tag along and were pushing a good pace, but they were heading home earlier that I had planned.
There was one guy riding fixed who was super powerful, putting all the geared riders to shame on the long draggy climbs - if you're reading this say hi, and chapeau to you sir! I was the guy in a red wapha with a tatt on my calf.
It was a timely intervention by Hackney CC as I've been wanting to join a club for ages. Does anyone here ride with them, and if so, reveal all.... what are the club runs like? Are there generally a few options for distance etc? Am very keen.
