The Rapha Festive 500

2015-12-24 00.00

@Hoke and I might be up for either 27th or the 29th

I can confirm the ride on 29th (Henley) is S2 with deep sections approved ;)

I'll PM.

In about 7hrs, if you're keen to ride around in the middle of the night, yeah.

yay for cross-winds!

Braced and ready for this. I'm going to try and extend my commute from Bristol down to the Archive store by a few km in the morning, should get 80 done by the end of the day, the weather isn't looking pretty though.

Signed up but have realised I have almost no chance of completing it. Working 4 of the days, and probably not doing 3 back to back centuries starting on Boxing Day! Will be doing an 80-90 mile jaunt to East Kent on Boxing Day if anyone fancies tagging along.

It's just a bit of fun, don't take it seriously. Main aims are to get some miles in and stop eating your body weight in food. It's just riding your bike.

Europcar are promoting some "drive out of London for £1" deal to move their cars out of town after Xmas to other cities for the exodus back but I'll be fucked if I can get their website to work to see what's on offer. Brighton would be good.

I'll be doing this (or, rather, this is the current plan) for Christmas Day:

I'm not "attempting" it this year but will be doing fixed laps of Regents tomorrow if any of you are so inclined. Probably from about 8:30ish.

If the weather is OK I'll be there on a Bowman, else mudguards and rack'd Charge.

Will be there around 6

NOW it feels like christmas :)

Only in England. Worthing seems closest you can get to Brighton.

Coastal cycle tour 29/30th should eat up a few KMs.

Holy crap, just saw the weather for tomorrow @amey we're gonna get wet..

I'm claiming this as a (short-lived) victory since the bloke at the top is riding in NZ and last time I checked Singapore wasn't in the UK.

Now a quick snooze and back to work... #nrftw

Winner! Good route as well.

Just off out, weather from 9:00am can get fucked

Two rides already?

Woke up late, had to get a lift to work, feel sick and won't be able to ride tomorrow. this isn't going well.

You need to follow @hippy 's commitment. Sleep is for wimps.
