  • I am keen for tomorrow; weather dependant .. would've loved to exchange bikes for a test ride morgan

  • Running tomorrow, sorry mate!

  • Where do you ride out from Mech?

  • Shoreditch ends Crofty, probably leaving my gaff about 6:40?

  • No good today, but would suit me well in the future.

  • Shoreditch to Richmond in 20 mins? You are quick.

  • Shoreditch to Richmond in 20 mins? You are quick.

    36 mile an hour average by my estimate. It's a recovery ride, so that seems fine...

    may have overestimated something somewhere.

  • But...all the traffic in the way...takes me 30 mins and I'm in w2!

  • But...all the traffic in the way...takes me 30 mins and I'm in w2!

    Took me about 45 in the end, including stopping...

  • Three shouts.
    Tomorrow. Somewhere South and back or somewhere and train back (North) 70 miles. (for tailwind fun)
    Fast, Geared. (aiming 20mph+)
    Leaving 1000

    Sunday. Somewhere, fastish, same distance, very early morning with aim to be back for Cock ride . Again, probably South to begin with for tailwind return.
    (Aiming 20+ again- would be nice with a big group with chain gang style riding)
    Geared again.
    Leaving SW London 0700.

    Monday. Northish. More chilled- Leaving central 1000. 50miles.
    Maybe fixed. Will decide over weekend.

  • Surrey hills ride today moved back to 2/3PM due to phone call.

  • Surrey Hills: what kind of pace are you looking at?

    Oh, 20mph. Average?!

  • I like your sunday ride, will probably do that myself tom morning start/end from brixton

  • Surrey hills ride today moved back to 2/3PM due to phone call.

    Would quite like to join you on this, if you don't mind?

  • Not a problem-
    Me and howard are meeting Priory lane entrance to RP at 2:30.
    I'll be on the white CAAD5 (geared) with mudguards.

    @Howard- I can't find my chain tool for the fixed...
    Pace is aiming for 18mph average.
    Re-group on hill-tops, etc...

    @ Santino- enjoy. Most of it is 6pt's.

    Sunday morning will be as fast as I can manage...
    May throw in a saturday morning as well, depends how fresh I feel.

  • Cool. Will be on a muddy black and red eddy merckx, black lycra.

  • Well, this is going to be wet and windy.
    See you both in 30.

  • Turned out to be really lovely.
    LHL and Howard was very nice to meet you.
    How Howard did all that fixed I have literally no idea. Excellent work.
    I can only apologise for my anti-social fender. The bit must have fallen off on the way over.

    On the note of the home-made Embrocation (Vaseline and Cayenne pepper for those interested)- it reactivated in the shower and my legs are on fucking fire!
    So new recipe involves making a paste out of the cayenne first, and mixing that with the vaseline.

  • Good to meet you both too gents. Well lead Eyebrows, and a really good route. Feel utterly ruined now, so you both must be quick. Well done :)

    Apols for the impromptu Jelly Baby stop but dang I was hungry, and only Bassett's finest would suffice.

  • Was good to meet you both, as well.

    Pretty wrecked just now, but a really nice ride- gonna try it again soon, sans garmin.
    No worries about the fender- got a nice chat with a pretty lady on the way home, who wanted to know where all the mud had come from.

    And that thunderstorm....

  • As above- sunday route stays the same.
    Leaving Putney at 0700, Camberwell at 0730.
    As fast as possible. (20+)

    Monday's route is going to change slightly and involve a much earlier start (0700) to try and beat the shit weather forecast.
    (will again be at full tilt.)
    Or maybe Tuesday.
