yeah the Surrey Hills is way more knackering than Roydon so back might be a bit ambitious but my life coach told me set goals...

Roydon = Heaven
Surrey Hills = Hell

Roydon = Dunno, only ever been there to go to a pub, arrived and left in the dark (in a car)
Surrey Hills = Heaven

i liked the chilterns ride...but the 5hills is still the most 'honest'

somebody is watching: fixed, geared, hipster road biking
might be a repost and could equally posted on the 'vintage jersey', 'sportive', 'rapha' thread.
have a good read and laugh!

ha ha pissing myself reading that...

#3 Ride Enough to compete with non-hipster roadies
Remember that hipster road biking is done in the context of being different from normal, boring, “bike-jock” “roadie” cycling. That being said, it’s the hipster road biker’s duty to compete fiercely with the conventional roadie. That way you can tell your bikefag friends back in town,
“dude, I came up on some asshole on his fucking expensive-ass, 12-speed, 13 pound, Specialized, right? And I was all like, ‘yo man, get your rich-ass out my way.’ The climb started getting steep, man, and I cold dropped the motherfucker! Colnago, bitches! Represent!”
“What’s that? Oh the jersey? No, it’s not Rapha. It’s *dead stock Italian National Team 1974, *bitches!”
You will spend a lot of time getting beaten by 50-year-olds before this scenario is likely to happen, but that’s no reason not to practice your story-telling skills now.

err Mirco...

• Rapha kit - check
  
• Pre 1997 steel road bike - check (colnago dontchaknow!)
  
• Vintage cycling glasses - check
  

very right so and i am overjoyed there is finally a name to the virus.

After sucessfully navigating Ditching yesterday on 47x18, albeit it at not much more than walking pace, I think I'll give the orange fixie bike an outing next week.

Marcom - when the wolf howls brother.. on the night sky and the otter is wet. there is the answer

I find out the meaning of the otter is wet..in the other side we have a wolf..is also night........i can see only sex...so

TNRC= sex ????

@marco - why do you think everyone has suddenly become keen to ride out and back? ;-)

because you have more chance to find the otter??

I'm in, Roydon last week was so much fun and put a smile on my face for the rest of the week.

I'll be on the Willier for this one, for sure.

Tika, even without our team mate Marco we'll still put in an honest effort (i.e. drag each other home...)

I'll even try to bring some cheesy biscuits, by not revealing to my colleagues that I have baked any!

@ Purple_Mj - Gav bunny-hopped last week.
@ Clintsmoker - You can rely on me for train companionship. OTNRC!
@ Sam - THE Orange 1 will be most welcome. Gears are becoming far too common. - WTF!
@ Mashton - nice n cheesy

I personally prefer the above 1986 Andy Hampsten look on hot days and a 1974 Eddy Merckx look for cooler days or high alpine riding.

...smoking some roadies up a climb while aboard a 7-speed Colnago with downtube shifters, wearing wool and a hairnet helmet is the hipster road biker’s collective unconscious wet-dream, so don’t be too quick to modernize your whip.

Hilarious!

very right so and i am overjoyed there is finally a name to the virus.

Not a very good name though is it? Like 'Faudax', it needs to have a decent ring to it, not just adding 'hipster' to the front of it.

Wondering... how much level is the level? ... worse than the Cambersands ride?
