2010-06-20 - Sunday in Surrey gapfiller

you could get the 8:32 and that'll get you out there at 9:43. the 8am will get you in at 942.

both have one change.

yep, wouldn't be a problem for me.

will run by the boss and see....

good work pascale....
:D

Arghh! I see you got me there Damienne!

for me is best as i have a child and is better to get home early

The 8am's epic journey time sounds shit, so the 8.32 seems the best option. And I suppose if we end up cutting if fine for the noonish train home, I could breakaway up Whitedown and thrash it back to the station alone (or possibility not, with current fitness levels).

But there are a couple of other things in my pipeline, so I'm not definite as yet.

1. pascalo
   
2. 6pt
   3.tika
   
3. wools
   
4. BMMF [/pencilled in]
   

I'm interested. Would anyone else be doing it fixed?

Me. Always*.

*Until I can afford gears.

Also, I don't mind leaving earlier. I'll go with the flow.

Ha, not waiting for me would get you round quite a bit faster.

Is this still on? If so, I am more than likely to meet you lot out there and join you for the ride.

Buggered my knee this morning, and as fun as one legged hill climbing is, no hills for me tomorrow is probably the sensible course of action.

Jaygee and I might join and if so it will be on the train at Clapham Junction.

Hey, Sam, yes, still on from my side.

6pt, sorry to hear that. What happened? Heal up quickly!

Vevee, would be great to have you guys there. Whitedown is perfect triple testing territory :)

Stabbing pains and then some kind of pop, going up the most non-hilly slope ever. It was humiliating - even had to drop off the big ring and spin for a bit instead of mashing.
It doesn't really hurt unless I'm pushing, so probably going to give it a break and refine my riding style for a bit. Or just pedal with my right leg.

Hmm, some kind of pop ... urghs.
Sounds like what I had on my track day in Adelaide, after I had ridden with a bit of tendonitis up Mt Lofty and all that. Pushing some track-ish gear inches didn't help, but it was my only chance to try out track cycling before we left to Melbourne. Half an hour in something popped, and I could hardly walk after.
Can tell you from experience that you should probably give it a bit of a rest. It took me about 4 weeks until I could ride a bike again without proper pain. Physio told me it was patella tracking syndrome and had my kneecap taped up. Recommended doing short runs instead of cycling for a while and find a better saddle position.

BUT: I hope it's not that bad for you, and what you can also do to decrease the pressure on the knee is ride more spinny gears, that's what you mean with refining the technique, no ;)

I suffer from this from time to time, it's bloody annoying.

And I'm out of tomorrow even before I've really put myself in for it. Sorry to build your hopes up.....

Have a good ride!

Thank you very much; sorry to hear you out.
