Fox, fewer boring B roads more lanes sounds great.

I am supremely relaxed about fiddling with the route, as long as others are happy to navigate it! (My Garmin is now dead, an ex Garmin etc).

The route didn't feel too B-road heavy last time, but that was a Friday afternoon and probably a little misleading.

The last bit from Castle Hedingham was all little lanes.

habe a great ride/swim folks - why do you keep picking days I can't make?

i have so much to look forward to when i'm back on it physically. great inspiration to keep up the physio!

this looks interesting, I and a few others may be in as well. weather looks good, and haven't been up that way except at night.

Just got a weird Klickfix extender bar http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1250&bih=587&tbm=isch&tbnid=Im-5OrWTPxMQ1M:&imgrefurl=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klickf from the bay that I can use to turn my old bar bag into a saddlebag- so room for some picnic and a towel.
Woot.

argh so sunny today I sooo wanna come swimming!

And I'd love it if you could come. Sure you couldn't take one little day off?

mega-important presentation on tuesday... cancelling fun stuffs left right and centre at the mo :/

In there like swimwear.

Ride up Hackney with you absurdbird!

I've been away for almost a month and had the pleasure of being able to swim in the sea daily. I'd really appreciate if someone could someone give me a heads up for the next planned ride/swim session?

PMing you MG.

Indeed Mr Skully.
Brockley station 7.15?
Even after 10 years of fatherdom I'm still shit in the mornings, I'll have to get fully sorted night before. Last swim ride I was running around like a guillotined chicken inflating the tyres on the wrong bike.

Water's cold as hell in Devon.
Hope its a good ride. Will be trying a new place for a swim here.

Weather is looking great for Sunday!

I've got one of my housemates on board, I'm lending him my carradice saddlepack so he can be a bit more self sufficient and carry his own food/mechanical stuff etc, and so he doesn't ride the 80 miles with a rucksack...

Looking good this one!

Yeah! Can't wait.

I'm out. Typical.

But Felicity hands in her PhD in 10 days and was at a conference, but is now coming back early and tomorrow is her only day off in the next two weeks. So I'm going to be the lovely boyfriend and go on a walk, cook dinner and try and de-stress her for the last push before submitting the work.

Shame, really wanted to do this too. And the weather is unbelievably perfect today. It's blissful.

I'm also out...

...of strap on bottle cage mounts. I was meant to pick some up from cupcakes ages ago. Sadly this means I'll need to do this on gears given the forecast, but it's definitely going to be Colnago weather :)

Seriously though sorry you can't make it VB. Are you sure you can't persuade Felicity this would be the perfect de-stress experience? I felt fantastic after my Clifton Hampden dip...

Given it's going to be hot, it would be good to stick to KT's plan of leaving as close as possible to 8 if we can so do please try to be there before 8.

well I seem to have a temporary reprieve from the work deadline I had... but that just means I'm able to attend my OH's mother's birthday tomorrow instead. bah.
