2010-09-18 Sat - Clacton-on-Sea - Last Ride of the Summer

Should I do this?
I dunno....

yes!

I'll be a pansy and see how the weather is looking before I commit...
plus I need to heal up after the post-guinness ride fall.

jesus, man the fuck up! i rode to bristol yesterday on a cunt of a hangover...

well, i tried anyway... what with a bre-booked train, 7 punctures between 4 of us (including a slow one which had to be topped up every 10 mins) and a nasty headwind for the last bit, we decided to ditch at bath and get the train from there. after a couple of well deserved guinni of course.

also, the weather is going to be amazing next weekend.

what gear are you going to rock for this one joe? Am thinking my 65 might be a little low...

48 x 18 low 70s...

65 might be a bit spinny on the flat, but should be fine.

hope my knee holds out! Just got back from a 30 mile ride, suffered sharp stabbing pains half way through, though did get better as the miles past. Weird?

cheers joe!

Ah nothing too serious. Just failed to appreciate the existence of a kerb until I hit it and went flying. Bit sore, a few bruises but all is well...

Always take knee pain seriously. Ideally see a physio. It may be only intermittent now, but it may not stay that way.

In. Last year was great.

Can I, a laydee, riding fixed, on 72 gear inches, having had little or no training for this since a 90km very leisurely and flat ride on road bike about 18 months ago (which I found to be fine) do this ride without embarassing myself and/or holding everyone up?

Thoughts please....

Ah nothing too serious. Just failed to appreciate the existence of a kerb until I hit it and went flying. Bit sore, a few bruises but all is well...

Was this anything to do with you babysitting Murtle on the way back?

ha.
I spent all night reminding murts to be good with his drinking as i didnt want to have to scrape him off the pavement on the way home.
oh the irony...

I say yes - we can leisurely ride it together
