• That was chunky. Cheers everyone, lovely ride. Route back was very fast. Or rather Jim was very fast. Or both.

    True to form, as Jim and I split up, Garmin routed me over the first hill it could find.

  • strong form saying no to an easy train back! me, oli, blowfish and her pal jumped on the first train and i just assumed oli knew it was heading back towards london! thankfully the barriers were up at victoria, what a result!

    thanks for the ride matt (and his female accomplice!) took me a little while to find my legs after booting it out of london to get there on time! think i still feel fucked from that alone let alone some of those hills!

  • Great ride. Really enjoyed those couple of pints. Thanks all!

  • Perhaps still a bit chilly for shorts...I do like that route though.

    Thanks to Howard and Stefanie for letting me borrow lights. Feel like a bit of a mug with my expensive light which failed spectacularly :/

    Will have to get it fixed and get a spare so I can be a Jimmy two lights like the pros.

    Haha... I have to admit I did wonder why you turned west onto Honor Oak Park - which is listed on the London Classic route as "!!! LUNG BURSTING HILL!!! #2". It even still had the little pink arrow sign pointing it out! :)

  • Hah yeah. I quickly realised my error but thought I'd persevere. Garmin - erroneously believing I was keen - responded with Denmark Hill as a desert. F*cker!

  • I thought it was an excellent ride on Wednesday. Good group, good riding, no drama and a delicious pint at the end. Got to give respect to Rhowe who managed to make the ride after attending a leaving do, apparently a Thai Green Curry and a pint are ideal prep for a hilly 30 miler.

    That Kent route is lovely. It was only the third time I'd done it so it's definitely going to be re-visited later in the year. Makes me want to do Kent 1 next as that is a cracking route too, but I suspect it will be something flat and northern. I shall insult the great oracle and we shall be told.

  • Hmmm, flat and northern...

  • Could've managed a pint at the end too actually - had a 15m wait for the train. Nice route, would do again. Welwyn's nice when the oilseed rape's flowering, just saying.

  • Good call, was thinking the same, we'll just have to see what the great coracle says.

  • Hmmm, fat and northern...

  • E4 Ecstasy?

  • Oi. mysterious controller, pull your finger out!

  • ingatestone, ingatestone, ingatestone....

  • It'll be Welwyn.

  • Surely the ride for next week will go up tonight, ie now week in advance.

    I predict the ride roulette wheel will land on the widow maker.

    Unless we have other rides beginning with W. To be honest I was gazing at my mystic balls and kind of tuned out when things went a bit milky.
