2013-07-07 - Rapha Women's 100 - Herne Bay

Agreed, better to say from the outset (like with John Mack's fixed-only rides). Then if a guy comes along to a stated ladies-only ride we can force them to dress and act like one of Girls Aloud (to be chosen by us) for the entire ride.

Ya, no probs. Dov sent us over 100 so there's not much danger of running out any time soon. I'll be on the Eccentrics Ride in any case, so you and any other ladies also coming can grab some then.

Awesome. Ta ladyface.

For full triathlon experience we can do cycling-swimming-pub!

whisper Are guys allowed on this ride? /whisper

I'd kinda like to keep this females only tbh, what with it kinda being the point of it, if that's cool with everyone else?

yes - to all BoffWell said well.

Also: I was listening to Girls Aloud last night and totally thought of you. And we'd make them dress like the wierd sort of looks like Sarah Harding new one who is actually Sarah Harding, like when they switched actors in Neighbours and no one thought people would notice.

Or something.

To be fair, Sarah Harding often looks like a big mess so she'd be the easiest one to impersonate.

Also they need to act/behave like here, but like condense her life of fame into 8 hours WHILST cycling. Get famous, get swept away in the Party Hard lifestyle, get hideously addicted to assorted substances, go to rehab and come out sober and with a frozen face. Good times!

Oh, and get banned from driving.

You forgot the fake tan. There's got to be A LOT of fake tan.

Absolutely cool with me, but this would be hilarious...

Also bump for booze...

Out :( This is the 2nd weekend I haven't been able to ride to get some decent miles in before this ride, so I think I have to bail on this one.

LH it's just over a month away. Surely that's enough to get the miles in?

In, but slightly dependent on whether I'm a bit fed up of cycling, as I will have come back from 2 weeks cycling in France only a couple of days before.

LH it's just over a month away. Surely that's enough to get the miles in?

not whilst I'm still having a flare-up. Won;t be back on the bike for at least another 2 weeks, so have to be realistic.

I'm in. Looking forward to catching up with all of you then, if not before.

Turns out I was showing off about going to France and due to Eurostar changing their rules of carrying bikes on the train I'm not going to The Europe anymore. :/

So come ride with us! We could bring baguettes/wine/cheese and speak with a French accent if that would help?

Mais oui. Je vais apporter des oignons. Ahawhehawhehaw.

I have a beret I can wear.

I'll stop shaving my pits now to give it an extra authentic touch.. ;-)

I'm so up for this! It will be my first and longest ride out with a whole group, I'll try and come along for next ladies drinks if I can so I'm a strangerdanger on the ride :)

Trying to convince a friend of mine to do this ride (I'm actually really trying to convince her to do the Prudential ride in August and thing this would be a good stepping stone length-wise and much more fun).

The longest she's done so far is about 40 miles to Windsor and she doesn't like hills.

^^ Give her a gentle slap around the head with some of the cake you did for BN's rides and tell her to pull herself together. Point her in my direction as a hill-hater par excellence then tell her she's buying the first round :-).

Too encouraging?

Too encouraging?

Yes.

Try "last one to the top buys the first round"
