Tuesday Night Ride Club (TNRC)

Wondering how much the taxi home will cost?

first you have to be lucky having reception.

Wondering how much the taxi home will cost?

Ask Jonny.

Ask Jonny.

ha, 70 quid from dorking to peckham rye. it gets expensive when bikes explode.

Still no lights. Still no TNRC for me. :(

Mike, if you have a rear light, I have a spare exposure Joystick http://www.exposurelights.com/product/000020/joystick/ with bar mount and charger, you can borrow for the dark season. Come on, own the night...

yes, is when you got one of those....

but I was not there.

Are you not in on the season opener Martin?

Tuesday March 16th The Widowmaker 19:09 at Waterloo http://www.gmap-pedometer.com
A 29 miler. 3 major climbs including the 18% whitedown. It's fairly familiar territory out in Surrey but actually flatter and less demanding than the 5 hills route from last year. You will need to get your gearing sorted out though.

Further information regarding trains, lights, protocol will appear soon. As a rule of thumb remember that the TNRC goes out of it's way to make sure everyone can enjoy the ride but if you are unfit, shit at climbing, can't read a map, have no spare batteries or inner tubes, don't carry a banana and refuse to use a mobile phone then be prepared to ride home alone at 1.am and don't be giving anyone grief on here the next day ;)

Placeholder. Work is a bit crazy busy at the mo

But haven't been on any bike for weeks, so need to reaquaint myself.

Just how bad was the whitedown on a 70" gear?

I'm debating whether to do this ride on my fixed bike with a 69" gear or whether to bring the road bike.

I couldn't go very fast, but I didn't feel like anything was going to snap (body or bike). It reminded me of doing Swains Lane in a 93".

It's basically mid-weight/high-rep weight training.

You decide:

Whitedown:

info to follow about who is riding on which train. basically we can put half on the 19:09 and half on the 19:33. those meeting us there can choose which train to catch. obviously the faster riders will be on the later train.

Interesting.

Not that I'm into that sort of thing.

PS This ride is, errrr, capped.

I'm for this ride but if I've missed out due to the numbers cap I'll be first on a reserve list.

@furious, next week's landscape has changed drastically for me, and it's likely that i won't get away from work in time on Tuesday. Take me off the list and slip yourself in there.
