Tuesday Night Ride Club '09

How long are these rides? My lights have issues at the moment* so I'm not sure about riding miles away from home holding the battery pack the whole way..

*who has a soldering iron and some soldering skill and wants to earn a tenner?

Hippy, can't help with a soldering iron, but the Roydon one is about 38 miles I think. Finished off at about 10:30 last time, so less than an hour in the dark and its not that dark with plenty of other good lights around.

On a different note, being directionally challenged getting out of London - anyone/groups riding up that I could tag along with again?

Good point, Des, I completely forgot about that as I confused the ride-out from last time with the non-existent ride out for this one, if that makes sense (it doesn't have to).

Unfortunately, I still don't know whether I'll be able to come, as I have the builders in owing to boiler failure last week, and they'll most likely work late, so I can't offer to organise a ride out. (I have already cancelled the feared meeting that of course came up.)

think we'll be meeting near old street again at the same time. seemed to work well

I have a 5 pound soldering iron from maplins and some solder. But I lack soldering skills unless you count covering everything in solder as a skill.
You're welcome to borrow it for free, Its in tuffnel park.

Just realised that for less than a 10er you could just buy an iron + solder from maplins.

hippy - balmain is right, there isn't much darkness at the moment so no big deal. i think we are all getting into the inner tube method of strapping stuff to our bikes now. tried and trusted ..believe

nice move marco. anyone else able to go tot hale? looks like you liv st crew are growing in numbers again!

8 - 10 will be fine.
any more, and we may have to re-think / get a few to go to TOT HALE.

Yeah, I'll be leaving LSO St Luke's at 6.15pm again. I'm in recovery-overdrive mode, so if anyone shoots off on the way out or the way back, I won't be bridging the gap.

I'm in recovery-overdrive mode, .

phew

Great news see you at St Luke's, although your idea of recovery-overdrive mode is my idea of flat out mode so no worries there...

how far is the out and back route?

gathering this is a fairly flat one, what is the approx pace?

hope to join the out ride at lea bridge - ice centre, no need waiting for me if i am not there when you whizz by.

If I make it, that's where I'll try to catch you, too--perhaps bump into you there, claus. Unfortunately, I still don't know if I'll be able to make it.

Is this ROYSTON, Herts or ROYDON, Herts?

pistanator - roydon herts.
claus - you got numbers to call if you are late?

Are you local?

Teenslain?

dancing james - round trip of 80 miles. or ride out do the ride and train home = 60 miles

So I deduct from that, the train out and ride back will be 60miles too?

correctamundo but the train is empty on the way home so we try to encourage people to ride out if they can just to make life a bit easier at the station. tough luck on saturday by the way. didn't hear what happened but saw the result

In a nutshell:

• Saha got the quickest FA Cup goal ever, 25secs
  
• Chelsea players fell over at every opportunity
  
• Howard Webb was shite - see above
  
• We outnumbered and outsang the Chelsea fans
  
• They only made a noise at 85mins
  
• Not a bad game but we didn't create enough chances to win it
  
• Best team won
