  • It's Tuesday today. You have *ruined *this thread!

  • I'm making up for the next 4 w/ends, which I'll be working.

  • How long was the round trip?

    yesterday started at 8:24am and back in hackney at 8ish - so around 12 hrs. eurostar is a pleasure (roll bikes on), van fitted 4bikes, french roads are fast, driving in paris is slow.

  • eurostar, van, mt ventoux, van, eurostar. home. BANG!

    Superb fella, nice and simple huh? Well done a great achievment, anothe notch on the bedpost for you. Did you take any pics?

  • Chapeau Tex! Anything to take my mind off the 'Flies! ;-)

  • @purple_mj. yep was great and finally training paid off and felt strong the whole way up, now looking forward to next one. think the alps are next as my alanbikebox arrived today so i can tackle even the worst airlines with no-fear(best ££££££'s i've spent - will lend for beers!). pics to follow.

    @ maxl - what's this flies thing??!?? phf.

  • I'm making up for the next 4 w/ends, which I'll be working.
    Oh well why didnt you say so? If you're riding flexi-time and making up hours in the week that you will be missing on the weekend then that's ok!

  • Thanks.

    Ha, they are seriously the biz, I ordered one a few months ago with the RCC ready for summer hols, had a few additions of course...

  • fuck you are smooth mj!
    I've got campagnolo on mine just to deter thefts.

    yeh but no actual riding on the weekend yet.

  • 185km ride planned tomorrow, from Le Grave including lauteret, briancon, izoard, vars maybe into Italy. Forecast wet.

  • stay strong brother

  • Great ride today - eventful and eclectic (and hard). Solo non-TNRC recce, and not giving any details away yet, other than the fact I had to get off and walk :O

    Same route today, with Sam for company. Managed not to walk any of it this week. Woo-hoo!

  • Oxford Graduation Ride yesterday, followed by the Dorset Dash yesterday evening into this morning. Epic. 207 miles on the clock by the time I got home. Can I stop pedalling now?

  • That was sweet.

    Sim is one of the ex Brixton cycles mafia, friends with Bike It Ben so we had plenty to talk about from start, typical of the crew on this, mainly London bunch.
    Never seen so many touring bikes with 1000s of miles embedded in their metal genetics, easy pace matched all aspirations in this advanced group which made it a pleasure to ride.
    Its good to know what the night is like, this route is ace with hardly any main road at all and what seems like endless straight lanes and few hills- can see the attraction of night rides traffic free now totally, would do it again deffo.
    Kraftwerk in the dark without lights sounds nice.

  • fuck you are smooth mj!

    Ha ha! Epic stuff going up Ventoux, I'm sure. Well played, Will.

    It's always a pleasure to watch Scarlett disappear into the distance going uphill, even more so in daylight.

  • Everyone's glad to see the back of me :(

  • I did Saturday HH training in a comedy big gear (94.5) as an experiment and my knees didn't explode and I was really getting on top of it. Fuck that spinning lark.

  • 49x14 for the grind.
