Ahhh! 6pt. You iz animals!

It wasn't brave. He was off doing some actual proper racing (as opposed to a non-competitive timed sunday club run) somewhere else today.

Yeah, wrong Mal. My bad...

Still, amazing show mate.

^^Fuckinell dude, hats off!

Sorry Sam. I managed to get us around the longer route in reasonable nick, but we've been written up as having completed the shorter. I did the whole thing, I swear.

What a lovely sunny day.

^I was wondering in whose stead you were riding. mystery solved.

6pt is a crap climber because BMMF drops him going up hills. I did point out that BMMF drops *everyone *going up hills so that isn't necessarily an accurate indicator of climbing ability.

BMMF just did something nasty up Swains Lane on Strava

Fixed. :)

dubtap, I heard about that but haven't seen the damage yet. bmmf on strava can only end in tears. lovely lovely tears.

ah he can beat that if he wants to. he's gunning for RP too :S

Decided to to the 80km. Missed the bloody signs, and was reacquainted with Toys Hill.

Lovely lying in the cool grass in the recreation grounds at the end.

I just joined Strava, found you and BMMF, is there an easy way of locating forum types- some sort of "search for group"?

I was sixth on the list, i guess that doesn't count.... ;-)
Well done all! was a great ride and my first.

Will try to get a time in next year.
Just happy to complete this year.

Search by club, maybe? Grupetto and Rollas would catch most of us I think.

The guy that finished first beat the next best by 17 minutes.

Rollas has six members, Grupetto is not turning up in the search at all.

Is this maybe because I am using the free version?

Don't think so. Looks like you'll have to get your stalk on. Just work your way through who other people are following?not found dubtap on there yet.

Blimey, great time Tom. Makes me feel a bit better about you dropping me on virtually every single part of the TNRC last Tuesday!

I'd take that time any day Nick, thanks!

well done everyone.. despite taking the shorter route today due to ear and crutching gear issues.. still clocked up 95km round trip from home which I am happy with (just can't afford to lose anymore time off at work due to illness)..

started off with bernie and two others from crystal palace tri with a lap of the velodrome was a nice touch.. saw ludwig and a bunch of cs gruppetto riders.. mr+mrs hillbilly (with clotheshorse!!) and a few brixton cycle crowd at the prince regent and two riders from rollapaluza, one impersonating a frog on the final climb with cramp in both legs..

thank you dulwich paragon for organising a great event.. nice to experience a few new roads.. so often head out to chiddingstone on the same route, but from Westerham back to CP cafe saint germain saw all of this in reverse.

Actually, here, here. It is a really well run ride. Thanks loads.

Only saw 6pt at the start and finish...Friday came flying by going up hill, a smart bunch of Grupettos were whizzing around and Ludwig was spinning, grinding, weaving and probably swearing but it's hard to tell with that lad :-)
A good morning in the saddle, well done all, shame that Sam could not make it though.
Ludwig,

^pain cave

Ha that was me. I couldnt straighten my legs at all. Thought I was gonna fall over and roll down the hill! It was Tom6pt's fault for letting me hang on to his wheel for the first half or so.

Great event though well done Dulwich. My first Sportive! I think I understand them now. Its not a race, but everyone races.
