2011-11-20 - the damn it's freezing out there fixed bicycle ride to cambridge

by 16.00

What's the plan for getting back if you're too knackered to ride? Do we need to book train tix with bike places in advance?

Groupsave on the day should be fine (blocks of 4) and is always cheapest.

The intention for some of us, to be decided on the day, to ride back. Those of us who choose to ride back will of course equip for night riding.

no need to book bike places either.

looking outside now we will all need to be equipped for night riding!

Just popped out to the shops and wondered whether I should put lights on.

I've never done your route at night before Steve but Laner and I did a similar one to Cambridge and back at night a few weeks ago...bloody hell it was dark on those lanes!

blinky redlight on the rear ftw,
if i can get a pass for this, i'll join you all

sunset for the 20th is 16.05 so we should be ok for light but it will be tight.

What time do hope to hit Cambridge?

I think they want to be nice this time.

Ahh shucks. Can you give it to the next most deserving person on the day? Just found out im having to go visit my cousins in deepest darkest Essex on the sunday. Thought this was happening saturday.
Cock

Looks like i cocked up on the dates. Im back in

damn, damn, damn. out! (No.4)
family visiting from abroad (bloody un-thinking bastards)

I'm possibly out...ballsed up my finances for this month and don't get paid until next week - will have to see how cash flow is by Sunday I reckon! It's about a tenner back on the train, isn't it?

Its £15 for a single on trainline Poots, but someoen was saying about 4 people getting tickets making it cheaper?

Don't suppose anyone wants to buy a new black Selle Rolls for £30 like this one here and fund my trip to Cambridge?

http://www.simpsoncycles.co.uk/product.php/336/selle_san_marco_rolls_saddle_black

Should go and start a thread in classifieds, eh?

despite being massively overdrawn.. i bought 3K carbon racing bars and record brake levers last night on ebay.. had to stop at bont cycling shoes though :(

Im tempted poots, are you in london for collection?

I am!! Will deliver too!

Go on then why not, might even get to try it out on this ride if I get my day pass from the wife.

Im just off the Hipster Highway if that is any good for you? Or I can swing by sometime this week if your central?

Will PM you! Thanks to you and Ed, poots is going to the ball (ride)

Woo hoo!

without a saddle!

Ha! It's sort of like an up the creek without a paddle ; )

Groupsave is always the way to go. 4 peeps.

You can groupsave with three people too but there is less of a discount.

Laner, Katie and myself got back for about £11.50 on groupsave a few weeks ago.
