Surrey Rumble

Was a great introduction for me to CS. Even if most of it was spent looking at J's arse. Pretty pleased by pulling it back by a minute to you after droping me 5-7km from finish though.

Cheers bud.

PS Good to meet you Hippy, see you next time :)

How is the route? Is looks like a nice ride...busted knee procluded me from riding otherwise Benjam, you could have had the wonderful opportunity for looking at my arse for 36% of the ride.

I don't think anyone's 100% atm dom, particularly myself.

Route was lovely unless you hate a lot of flat with one steep and two gradual climbs. There were a few bumpy sections though but it was well marked for hazards/caution so not a problem.

reg just opened for this year

Thanks for that heads up .........just entered.......training training, miles miles.......

Just signed up for long route this year.

My gear cable snapped last year and I ended up doing the last 60% of it in my biggest gear. Still really enjoyed it. All the climbs are at the beginning luckily.

I might lose my audax virginity instead this year.

Long ride out just to get to the start line.
What time do people hit the road?

Any of you guys cycling out to this? Or taking the train? Ill be leading a feeder ride from Giro Cafe in Esher at 8.15am, for anyone cycling the 10mins over to Cobham for the start. Free coffee for LFGSS people.

What a glorious day! 4hour19 for the long, 81mile course, so i am happy.

gutted to have missed this. the weather couldn't have been more perfect :(

i feel like an old man at the moment, my lower back is buggered.

that is blindingly quick time pete! good work.

skive and i were planning a more leisurely pace and a pub stop.

I was by myself, so thought I may as well go for it. The weather was almost perfect, and it was a lovely route. I live in Surrey, but normally just stick to the hills, so was great to see what else there is to ride.

i got round in 5 hrs and 31 with a half hour stop at the pub.

was a super day out in the sunshine.

and pete to smash that that quick is really good, i was hanging the last 10 miles.

Yep,did the long route in 5 hours sumfing, top day in the country,'Englands Green and Pleasant Land'........didn't seem as hard as previous years.........
