Tnrc 2013

Not that I'm objecting, but didn't we do Roydon quite recently?

You been on the booze again?

average mph?
gears allowed?

Typical TNRC gearing is 65gi so at 90rpm we will be doing 17.5mph. We don't tend to go much above this on the flats, gears are welcome but don't tear off the front as the speed is the speed for a reason.

Overall ride averages tend to be between 13 and 15 due to hills etc... but if you can maintain 18 on the flat you should be fine.

.

I think the last Roydon was 17.7mph average and it did feel fast to me. I'm really slow and I was fine though.

Yeah, i think the average was 17.7 but I think the sharp end of the sprint averaged something like 25 mph. When/Where did we start sprinting by the way? I tried to figure this out on Sunday when I was riding out that way, but I couldn't!

Ten bloody miles from the end! At the last big left turn

yeah, I had my suspicions. I figured out the correct way back. i.e didn't follow Ludwig up the 10% incline...

**Roydon 18/6/13 **
Liverpool St 19.11 (& 19.28 if needed)
Return trains: 22.13/30, 23.13. GS4 £5.20.
Rolling 37 miles - nice open route for close to the longest day of the year. Usual tnrc drill - mainly ride as a group, finish up with a sprint opportunity for the last few miles. No one gets left behind etc.

Delicious!

(but i'm pre-committed unfortunately)

NB, the sprint is entirely voluntary and it is entirely possible to amble along to the pub in plenty of time for a beer.

hairnetnic the heretic

The sprint is entirely compulsory, I and many other go flat out to the pub.

It's just that to the untrained eye my flat out can look like a leisurely amble.

{considering getting a later train to arrive in time for the sprint to the pub!!}

what time do you reckon you'll be at Hazel End?!

my estimate: ~ 9.30pm

hence might make it there just in time, :-)

• 20:28 London Liverpool Street [LST] Platform 5 -> Stansted Mountfitchet [SST] 21:18 50m
  
• 20:55 London Liverpool Street [LST] Platform 5 -> Stansted Mountfitchet [SST] 21:35 40m
  

wow - next level, sprint train!

Will have to miss this one - hopefully in for the next one -don't make it too hilly, I'l have had a 2 weeks off the bike.

Also since Matt just started a new job next to Liverpool Street station I'm goading him into coming along but he's not taken the bait yet

I didn't get a longer ride done this weekend, so will probably ride out, ride round, ride home. Not bothered about being on any lists.
