I can't find my fecking sensor... Grrrr

HoP 7/4/11
Spin Cycle

Thursdays,1830hrs for 1845 departure at the Gloucester Gate traffic lights. Heading anti-clockwise.
20mph+ average, but if you can't hold on, worry not! Form your own little train for light relief. Lap times are between 7:00 and 8:00, with a possible slow lap/rolling rest after the first 4. Stop after 8 laps/22 miles. Or earlier, if you're a slacker (you know who you are). A little bit of a rest, then off to the Edinboro Castle for some refreshments (calorie recovery through chips and beer). Or the Flask, if you can face the hill. The chips are better and cheaper.

I'm guessing someone will forget it's Thursday so will be there regardless and work out what to do from there.

What can go wrong with a fixie!

soft cocks i decare! All of you Soft cocks!

No power hour for me this evening, but might be heading through that way later on. I'll shout encouragement if the opportunity presents itself, although I'm guessing 'do a skid' would not be considered appropriate.

I did a horrible ride to Great Missenden today so I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up for more than two laps. Prepared to join the slackers.

I'll be in the Victoria near the castle tonight...might pop my head round the door of the Edinboro to see if you chaps and ladies are sweating there afterwards.

Where we meeting again? i cant find the google map linky...

Inner circle.

Failing that, go clockwise.

just this second got in from my grind back from cambridge. definitely not a touring gear, that one. need to rehydrate (1 bottle is not enough in this heat), get some lunch in me then head out. so I may be a tiny bit late, but I'll do my best. am I allowed to use gears? my legs are killing me.

Ill be there just after 6 so ill just keep going...

^^I'll let you off (my bike will be geared).

I also absolutely stink, but there's no point showering before heading out for this. debating whether it's even worth putting a fresh jersey on, or just heading out with a pungent 2 day stench...
(fresh jersey, I guess. but meh effort.)
food!
(nutella)

I'm confused. Do we meet Inner Circle or Gloucester Gate?

Inner circle. Out of the way, less chance of holding up traffic while we sort ourselves out, etc. leaving the flat now, I'll be opposite york bridge on the inner circle for half 6ish :)

All good fun. 22miles at 22mph on the front. 6 laps(?) for the slacker club.
Same again next week.

Popped my head round the castle door to take on some serious carb loading but didn't recognise anybody so headed. Hope you had a good spin. I'm in next week...
