Tuesday Night Ride Club (TNRC)

I'm up for this 'daylight TNRC' business, with a view to actual TNCRing, if only to have people to do road miles with at the weekend.

^^ Sorry, but use of that image on this thread is strictly prohibited!!

but cos' you like miles, we'll let it go ; )

^ but only if you then change your username to badger.

Also, for all new people reading this, you do not need gears for the TNRC. Some people even do the rides fixed.

Just in case any other TNRC-n00bz are lurking [...] here's a good idea, which surfaced [recently]:

• browse the thread for links to our routes (or use the 'search this thread' tool and look for 'routes' - they're all together in a single post somewhere).

• get out there during daylight hours, maybe with a few others, and familiarise yourself with the terrain/distances involved. If you can ride these routes during the day in under 3 hours (moving time), get your lumens on standby.

shoots I'm up for weekend action, earlier the better really, only got the fixed travelling/commuter bike for the time being until geared bike comes back from servicing...
you thinking saturday or sunday?

It was a 13.58 mile sporting course, and I did okay. Managed a 37 - the winner did a 33. The only other fixed rider did a 42. My main aim, apart from not crashing, was to try and beat Rebecca Slack's women's course record on my 47x15, and I just managed that by 7 seconds. Also did an 18.51 / 18.52 lap split, which I was happy about.

Good training on the fixed, although next Sunday's event will probably be even tougher without gears…

Nice one. I'm going to try to do more TTs this summer, only managed two in competition last year, one of which I was stupidly undergeared on (47x15, pancake flat course).

Would like to enter that TT Clubman has posted, but not a member of any club :0( Apart from TNRC :0)

@ Ritchie... I'm heading out to do a particular route Sunday if you're keen / mad

Which particular route? I'd be keen on doing most of them, except the Slurrey Hills... I don't have many miles under my belt this year and the slightest incline chills me to my bones.

^that would rule out Kent as well then; and possibly Potters Bar; and the new one that's not on the list :/

Anyway, you only risk getting chilled to the bones on the descents.

don't think the Surrey Hills route is any more difficult than the rest

Knackers. :(

Interesting.
Cos last year you were really starting to look slow. Going up hills in particular ; )

p.s. No need to be so shouty

difficulty depends how fast you're riding etc.

steeped in mythology to the un-initiated is all

Join me on the Surrey Hills ride…

the usual few second-hand back attack piss alimented brown cars... plus Iscariot!

some of them are so cleverly bravery challenged that makes themselves poo-trolling straight into The Mother House.

I agree.

i have the fear

Join one then, you divvy.

I'm sure you'd be more than welcome in either Rollapaluza CC or CS Grupetto.

Interesting.

I treat myself to a nice new frame, like what I've seen real cyclists use, only to discover that the material is irrelevant. If only I'd known! I've got a ton of plywood in my shed, which is currently going to waste.

Shouty.

Shouty? Golly. Anything but, at least that's the intention.

I thought we'd agreed Surrey was mine if I gave you Kent and Essex

• ha ha!
  
  

Come now Nick. Perchance my tone was slightly off. I was merely referring to your bold* choice of decal. Like your frame, I too was going for the subtle.

• bet BMMF "got" it.

I think you can also register with the tritalk.co.uk forum for free, and declare that as a CTT-affiliated club.

But you'd have to start attending the TNRC in this sort of thing:
