2013-10-19 - London Borough Spiral Ride

The challenge is to do the whole thing without putting your foot down other than at official stopping points :)

The challenge is to do the whole thing without putting your foot down other than at official stopping points :)

And if I do?

I'll be impressed with your OCD dedication to random pointless challenges :)

I can still bust that challenge on flat pedals. As long as there aren't any downhill stoplights.

This is fucking crazy. In.

loony, in

Groaning lap of the track and smelly portaloo piss whilst we're passing through Herne Hill?

Not in as I won't make the distance, but this is a thing of true demented beauty.

disc wheels. Everyone has to have disc wheels. It's a thing.

I have a spare cover from the London Open. I will make this happen.

I can manage a disc...

Do it anyway! There's no conceivable way that I'm going to make the distance. I'm just going to die trying. It'll be an honourable way to go...

Will train it form Brentford to Waterloo then Waterloo east to Sidcup i guess?

I'm fairly certain I won't make the distance but I'll give it a go. I'm old so please cut me some slack/put me in a taxi if I start to dribble :0)

Editing route

Done: bypassed swiss cottage gyratory.

I'm loving the care and attention given to this route.

Lifebuoy 1988: I'd be happy to catch the train with you, I'll be travelling from Billericay. I'd just planned to train it to Liverpool Street and then ride the 11-12 miles to Sidcup. Sound like a plan?

Cool, see you on the train at London bridge the one that arrives in Sidcup at 7.25 or the next train gets in at 7.55.
