I'm out 26 is available... birthday whisky and early mornings do not mix.

Please check the GPS track on [ame="http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=wefjbbtywflbmqgk"]GPSies[/ame
%22%5DGPSies%5B%2Fame] before I commit it to my Garmin.

GEARS !! exclamation mark bold letters capitalised

have we forgotten our roots people !! check the big black letters to the left at the top of the page
just saying like

LOL. I can see you and Phil now, grumbling mid pack.

and me.

are there any massive hills on this ride?

since i sold the Hill Special, i only have my track bike and the Raleigh...... both are brakless.... i cant be arsed with skidding my ass off down big hills when my legs are tired.
whatta we reckon?

or has anyone got a clamp on i can borrow for the day?

a few hills round chigwell... neither of them drilled?

You'll be fine rob I did the brakless 48x16 couple of hills but nothing towards the end.

Just a side note I wouldnt recommend anyone else to do this as it's not safe or sensible blah blah blah.

It's just that if Rob hurts himself it'll be funny. You kids stay safe though

C'mon Rob.
You can be in my gang.

what do you reckon pace of this ride would be?

hopefully - swift.

probably - slow.

The sun is gonna be shinning we definately wont be in hurry thats for sure, happy days !!

yeah! can't really go wrong. the pace we had at clacton last year was just about right for me. with the exception of the rushed pub stop.

Are we actually ending in a beach with a sea where to swing?

swing
hmmm lets hope so
