Tuesday Night Ride Club (TNRC)

we were kinda holding your place on the train free anyway mash, just waiting for the bail. ;)

That is because:

a) You are a bunch of cunts
b) I am a terrible quitter

I'll be riding up from White City, about 16 miles, if anyone fancies joining?

Route (so I can find it on Tuesday)

May well join you Matt.
Ya know... just to make sure you get there : )

Oh shit. My bluff has been called.

Snapped a couple of spokes on my fixed rear wheel this morning, so I'm probably doing this geared now, which also means I'll be riding out.

Tom, what a nice surprise!

Cheers Marco! Will look forward to catching up on the ride - not sure I can make Sunday ride - but will let you know if things change.

Hello, Tom. WhereTF have you been?

I'm always up for a ticketing orgy.

Hi BMMF, been embroiled in gainful employment for a bit - thankfully it was just a phase.

1st Groupsave: 1.) Tom, 2.) BMMF, 3.) ?, 4.) ?

gonna join mashton on a TNRC first and ride out to the start point. 14 pointless miles of fumes. yum yum fuckin yummy.

And almost all of them uphill.

Please try not to piss on my fire. I am even considering riding fixed.

hmmmmmm. Should I join in? Matt owes me £10.

raise eyebrows roger moore style

Ha!

maybe not then...

15 miles of main road drag.

It's not too bad getting out of town. Sasmon, Dave4 and I went to recce the route last night but when we got to potters bar, we had a GPS malfunction.

Fortunately found some nice enough lanes for a pootle anyways.

BTW, the A1000 from potters bar takes you almost directly to the Flask. Nice.

15 miles of main road drag.

thanks dude. fuck it i mean even do it dressed in drag.

Erm, this ride to Potters Bar...are you lot going to cane it? What time you setting off?

i am riding it solo wools so i can play with the traffic and the fumes as i please. i guess i might see some of you en route.

i do believe that riding in busy traffic is best done alone

btw wools, love the hypothetical question there - 47 posts, not 1 actual ride ;)

i do believe that riding in busy traffic is best done alone

I agree.

And I'd like to take this opportunity (although I'm sure jonny was aware of the vernacular) to make sure people are au fait with another important morsel of cycling parlance:

'drag' - noun - not quite a hill, lengthier than an undulation, more susceptible to headwinds than hills, typically between about 3% and 5% gradient, Essex is fucking full of them.
