Tuesday Night Ride Club '09

sam - jesus friend.....be kind, i'll be geared but the fixies will not thank you for that. trying to keep the numbers down for us eh? ;)

My night bike is geared, unless you want me to come on my fixed mtb hack bike, but to be honest, the flat bars/bullhorns and rack are a bit of a cuntfuffle on the trains.

a bit of a cuntfuffle on the trains.

Let's be honest...no-one likes it, particularly at rush hour on the way to Amersham.
As one Mr.Cobain once said: "Come as you are"

(sage advice from a suicide victim)

Found some last minute spare time yesterday (don't ask), so recced the possible Kent route. Happy with 90% of it. The other 10% is shit, but that's Swanley for you.

It's VERY hilly, I don't think there is one flat section.

Looks sweet to me sam well done for giving it some time, what route is it from your original 3 ?

that looks like a 4 mile climb? where did you find that?

yeah i like the fact that we finish 30 ft higher than where we started so we can sit on the top of the train on the way back. yee haw!

Ha-ha!

purple_mj, it's mainly number 1 with a few changes.

That's the trouble with the North Downs in Kent, must climbs are short and sweet. The long climb is the one Ved asked for, it heads south-east out of Eynsford. Steep beginning, then a nice easy gradient for a couple of miles before one last little ding near the top.

Anyway, profiles always make it look steeper. It's not that bad, honest. Just gotta get rid of one shitty section, that's all. Think I have it though.

the long climb is a muthafucka

i think i'll be on holiday for this ride !

mixed emotions...
