    What kind of pace are people aiming for on Saturday? Will my legs fall off trying to keep up?

  • • #52

    ah come come marie, don't sell yourselves short, its not a race but its not a pootle either, its somewhere inbetween, we stop at the top of hills, and we leave no cyclist behind. So don't worry about the pace, just come out and ride.
    Have a word with plum or stix about the pace on the southend ride, it wasn't mad fast, but quick enough to make it worth your while...
    and as I've said to others, there will be a mix of abilities, so you'll find someone who'll be of a similar pace to ride along with, if the bods on the front want to race away..

    A quick thing to add, directions wise: when I put this particular route/crib sheet together, is was based on the notion that the group would be passing through Croydon town centre early on a Sunday morning before there were (m)any peds around.
    It's therefore worth adding that if the group chooses to stick to this route on Saturday, the pedestrianised zone is likely to be absolutely chocca, so it could be worth diverting/dismounting or risking the wrath of hundreds of grimy chavs. (I'm allowed to say this cos I is from Croydon, innit)

    I still hope to be riding, but an ironic twist has me staying down in Brighton with mates on friday night. So I need to decide whether to get the train up first thing saturday, so I can ride back again!

    PS another thing, whoever's in front at Caterham on the Hill, make sure you take a right at Manor Avenue, and not Stanstead Road (refer to updated route link in OP)
    This will save some of the more enthusiastic riders from hurtling off down a big hill and missing a vital turn.

  • • #69

    greasy, you didn't number.

    I rekon the skinsuit maybe a little too much for any ladies to cope with especially it I keen my gels in the front!

    I was thinking lycra, but now I'm not so sure. But I can't bring myself to riding the cervelo with jeans on! Will see how dangerous I'm feeling Sat morning... ;)
