It's on. Do I need to bring out the overshoes?

http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ Maybe not?

The sun is out, flippin lovely etc.
See you all at 6:30

Still at work. Not going to make it to this one, sorry. Will try again for the next one.

Trockenwaschgang.

Thanks for the great route Ludwig, sorry sensom and I rolled off the front at the end, we were enjoying the Epping TT a bit too much.

Yeah thanks for leading us on a beauty Ludwig. Was my first forum ride and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Cheers Ludwig. Powered down Epping New Road but couldnt catch you sensom :(.

Ah, that'll be down to dbr letting me draft him for the duration. That and I had a very specific post ride meal in mind...

Great you enjoyed it so did I. Caz and me were looking for the adjective for the state of my tired legs but failed.

Overworked? Under-rested? ;)

Glad to see you knees are working again anyway.

Last night's ride was ace. Lovely route thanks to Ludwig, I wanted to eat the world when I got home.

The Lea Bridge Road is like that becuse of the River Lea

The alternatives are Forest Road, the Eastway and the Bow Flyover...

You can avoid the latter parts by heading up to Forest Rd via Hoe Street and then Chingford ; but they are not as direct.. The Chingford route does avoid the Waterworks Roundabout.

You can also ride up to Walthamstow through the Marshes, but that's also indirect..

If you want to do a ride into Essex on a Sunday with Lea Valley then do let me know...

Anyone got time for something this week? wed/thurs?

In for Wed.

Hey guys.

Keeping an eye on this thread as I'd love to join for a couple in the coming weeks. haven't been out and about for months really and this is my section of town. Got mech issues which I'm sorting and if you'll have me I'd love to tag along in a week or so?

In other news, I live in Leyton these days and from town I find the best route is out via Viccy Park or the roads North of it to the Eastway, then alongside the new media centre at the Olympic Park, under the flyover and over the railway, left on Leyton High Road and all the way up to the Bakers Arms. There are even a few rat runs up past Leyton Orient's stadium which avoid the busier bit of High Street. This cuts the Lea Bridge Road out altogether and the Eastway is actually not too bad.

Failing that, there are increasing routes appearing through the Olympic Park via the velopark...

Can't wait to see what your choice of routes are out in Epping. Always love a roll around there.

Hoping to be free Wednesday. I may have to flip the stem on my bike though, was walking around with a hunchback on Friday...

I've got a 10mile TT tonight so hopefully won't expend myself too much and be able to come along tomorrow!

Eesh, lovely day for it..

I'm just wondering if I'm gonna bother with the Tuesday 10... manky weather.

I feel vaguely obliged to show up. No doubt you'll get a lower number this week!

I hope so, it'll be dark by 8:30.

Now not free this evening or until next week unfortunately.

i could be in this evening if i have a productive day before then

I think I'm out tonight/tomorrow I'm afraid. I have designs on cooking a guinea fowl, and I'm very hungover.
