The Rapha Festive 500

2020?

Planned out my days riding, should just about have enough time to do it, wife just calls we've been invited down to Whitsable on the 29th NOOOOOOO

Anyone fancy doing early morning RP laps or evening shorter (50km) rides on the 29th or 30th?

RP laps

Unless R = Richmond

Even if R = Richmond

Funny.

Also funny.

It's a good ride from London to Whit

I had toy'ed with the idea....but I got shut down when see saw the little glimmer in my eye.

Still slightly better than Regents; there is deer!

Any kind of repetitive riding can >>>>>>>>>>> esp for festive.

@croft y u no great escape and italian job? I am tempted by the latter but bit of a stretch from deep SE.

Will do on the actual event days. Im in Essex til Monday so getting in big miles there and then working 29th and 30th so no time for TGE or IJ.

What time are you heading out tomorrow @amey? I rode the Vespa in today so I'd have to avoid drinking on the last day at work.

I know the feeling. But, I have managed to get permission to race the train there before now (with something of a head start)

8 from BR1 meeting @Moserism at 8:30

25th: connect.garmin.com/modern/course­/11289869 70 miles

What time? very early? it's the 25th meaning people with families have to stay in and be parents.

7am? road will be empty.

8:30am regents park?

Weather for the first day is looking great.

Don't go there mate.

I know tempted to avoid and take Hampstead road instead ;)

Does this start at midnight tonight?

No, it started at midnight on the other side of the world. For you it could start at midnight tonight if you're in Europe.

If I knew what that meant should I be laughing or should I be thinking of a clever put down?
