LFGSS Summer Training Conversation thread

Its been far too long....
So. Yep. Lets ride bikes in the rain with our new kit.
Last minute Notice for a club-paced (18mph) ride to the Blue Egg cafe on Bank Holiday Monday.

Generic Plans:
Midweek- Tuesday evening at pace pre SE drinks, set off from PS at 6:30? for 1.5hrs of fun, leave pizza orders behind.
Thursday Morning Rides- 05:30 Putney/ Regents for alternative weeks surrey/ Laps of Regents.
Saturday- at pace/ 'skills' session.
Sunday- club run.
How's that all sound?

Ps- I'll be out Friday morning from Putney, aiming to be back in commuterville before 8- I take no responsibility for these first two in terms of timing because I won't have tested the route beforehand.

Your Tuesday evening runs are tiny bit early for me (nominally finish work at 6, PS by 6:30). Otherwise, good.

Also- slackers if you're free for a little spin tomorrow morning I'll be heading off somewhere for 50ish miles at around 10.
Work starts Tuesday for me and I have no idea of what timings that will require- so 6:30 probably works.

Is there a thread for this?

No thread. Probably not a bad idea.

Do you have a route ? mine is 175 K https://www.strava.com/routes/667486

This route meeting at LMNH at fish may be good https://www.strava.com/local/uk/london/cycling/routes/123

Just contemplating logistics...
Or rather, debating whether I can actually fit that distance in that day.
This is my route- but I've not been there ever...

I will post a thread up tonight with confirmed plan but regardless it will be an 08:30 start, from the Look Mum No Hands on Old Street, going east for somewhere north of 80 miles.

Most likely in for this; did we say 8:30 Putney? I did the great escape audax last weekend I'll have a look at the blue egg route as well; why not back via Epping new road instead of Chigwell?

0830 at LMNH- see event:

Needs an earlier start, due to timings.

Good to see it's happening again, but 5:30am is too early, 100 miles is too far, South London meets are not for me. Might be up for a Saturday ride, as long as it's not too far, I'm racing on Sunday.

5:31 then. Be good to have you along whenever dimi.

I dunno, his instagram suggests he's not exactly a paid up member of #fatclub, things could be a bit painful.

I maybe up for early weekday rides out to Surrey in a few weeks, and maybe for Blue Egg on bank hol monday.

I have work coming out of every orifice at the moment and I've not had a chance to even look at my bilke (bar my beater / commuter) so will give this proper though on Friday afternoon when it has calmed down.

Fucking hate work imposing on fun.

June Schedule is up. Its mostly Sundays.

Just discovered Hertfordshire today. Watch this space for some "Gravé*"action

*what a stupid word.

Anyone fancy some early morning Regent's laps next Wednesday/Thursday?

What time is early?

Half 6/7? Get at least an hour in?

^^^ Possibly, work depending...

Maybe.

Cool, I'll suggest something more solid when I know my plans. Most likely on Thursday.

I cbf anymore with organising anymore rides.
Good luck to those racing wherever that may be.
I'll be doing rp laps as work takes priority from now on.

Thursday morning then? I'll be about Wednesday morning too, but I'll have a bag which is a pain to ride with.

Should be good, you fixed or geared? ( I don't trust my fixed's brake)
