2013-08-03 - summer HHSB slide to Cambridge* LMNH 9:15 - *Formerly Brighton

It's only a bike in the end. (I know the last sentence will confuse a few people.)

I said exactly this at the scene, and was met with a few "huh"s and "what?"

I said similar then Malaysian then told how he would rather break a bit of his body because that heals and bikes don't.

I showed the pictures to a friend and they said 'at least the owner has come off ok' to which i responded that NHS is free but NJS ain't

Brakless off the tarck is cool except when you wanna avoid roadsignz.

Reackon with some dremel polishing action the dent will buff out.

Less as free of brakeless and more a matter of looking behind you I reckon.

I've posted all my pictures and done a little review here

Garmin connect suggests that our average moving speed was 15.4 mph.

This looks UN-real

Ha

^^^ cannot tell if serious? Of course it wasn't 15.4mph. Half of it was on a 60mph train journey?

That's great Sumo.

NHS is free but NJS ain't

Sounds like a T-shirt.

Great picture, Henry. :)

Wasn't serious :P

But it wasn't recording while on the train either, I just used it again once in london so it drew that line connecting.

here's my gps from the ride... starts at lmnh and ends at the point oli stacked it.

eat your hat, grumpy cat.

I have first half of the ride on video, will try to upload it in the nearest future)

that was you with the Go Pro then?

the bronnondale ( i hope i did that right ) and i had a most excellent time on saturday
the queue at the first pub waiting for 11am opening time to come round was one of the highlights ! my kind of ride !
a few times in the last half of the ride i thought ah it just doesn't get any more perfect than this .. sun in the face, perfect conditions,nice bit of fast time trialling, beautiful rolling countryside for as far as the eye could see and some bro's and a sis ( ? ) rolling along
sad news about the incident right at the start and right at the end

10/10 would do again

the queue at the first pub waiting for 11am opening time to come round

You rode too fast.

it was the two reds we jumped just near the A406
left us 45 seconds early for the first beer

Who wants to organise the next one?

If people were up for coming out this way me and rich would be happy to plan and lead a ride. Maybe start out here and attack some hills, proper hills not the gradual slopes that were being called hills on Saturday, and then slowly make our way back into London.

Where abouts are you again?
