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

I'll try and get you a video of a descent apollo and then you can decide if there is enough skids!

also, I've planned 3 pub stops into the first half of the route. I'll hunt some out for the second half.

Wrong, HTFU and embrace the pain! It will make you stronger :P

I like your route dry, it's got some nice lanes in it. I had concerns about 10 miles on the A5 too so I think Tenners' route is an improvement.

Tenners there's a blip in your route about 71 miles in between Swiss Cottage and RP which will cause havoc with a Garmin, you might want to iron that out. Personally I'd also go via West Hampstead/Abbey Rd/South Hampstead rather than Finchley Road as Finchley Road is horrible...

Route should show ^those changes now. :)

what about riding down hills?
... especially when you're brakless and have a worn tyre!

Ride West should probably end at Santa Maria pizza in Ealing. Pasquale http://www.lfgss.com/member9222.html is very fixie skidder friendly and there is lots of space for tramp pizza. And a pub next door.

Ok, so after a very unorganised practice ride I've decided that the route I have planned is probably too much for a slide, mainly due to my mate throwing in the towel at the 40 mile and requesting a straightish route home.

This is what we managed. http://www.strava.com/activities/77695897 the first 40ish miles being the same as this below route (which has changed slightly from the last one Tenners posted due to a large amount of loose stones on a downhill single track lane that i didnt think was suitable)...

I will run this as a fixed/brakeless hills ride at some point but I think its best if someone else picks up the batton with regards to organising the next slide.

Ah well, we can just go to Brighton next time!
