Herne Hill Saturday Training

Anyone rides down there from N1 area let me know cause I got lost and it took me nearly 1hr 30min to find it. Google Maps, Apple Maps and tom tom were all rubbish. No lane guidance and turn announcements quite late. So anyone heading down PM me and let's meet up and roll down together.

I'll be heading down from Walthamstow, can meet somewhere along Kingsland Rd or something if that's any use?

When do the sessions end for the year?

weather permitting we'll run 'proper' training sessions through to the end of October

.

Ta. Going to struggle to get full accreditation in a month..

what's the rush?

No such thing at HH. Not this season, anyway.

Sounds great pm me when on Friday to let me know what time on Saturday you want to leave.

Is there an overground station nearby? I'd like to give it a go, but i'd need to bring my bike on a train.

Yes, Herne Hill is about half a mile away.

Or did you mean Overground with a capital O?

Eh? one you can take a bike on?

Ok, Herne Hill then.

Direct trains from Victoria.

Anyway it was still fun regardless. I look forward to doing again? Anyone rides down there from N1 area let me know cause I got lost and it took me nearly 1hr 30min to find it.

there's room for improvement with that route...
try: camberwell green > coldharbour lane > loughborough juction > shakespere rd, etc to avoid denmark hill on track gearing ; )

you'd think google maps would know this by now.

That is also a possibility, but Denmark Hill isn't too bad. I usually go left on Ruskin Walk to avoid the traffic lights at the bottom of the hill.

I avoid the hill as it saves my tyres from my addiction to bombing down the hill and skidding through them.

Hills too tempted. DAWS. Good call. I have been resisting skidding out my tyres until I get another aerotrack double fixed rear wheel just for Track.

Funny though now I have to slow down the boring way and single speed riders who blow by me think I am still peddling to move forward as they don't notice the resisting the pedal stroke and think I am racing when I am slowing down now.

LOL. Its funny. There are loads of single speed riders around islington front brake only as well. Boooeeeekk. Pedal pedal coast screech fistful of front brake how uncool.

eh?

just let it be gaz :D

Lol

i thought i spoke fluent Fixie, but apparently not.

You're getting old

Besides - its impossible to speak both fixie and brompton
