ThNRC 2018, the Arsène Wenger Retirement Tour (additional dates soon to be announced)

Sounds lovely. I'll be riding out leaving the 4th circle of hell (Canary Wharf) around 6:30pm if anyone fancies it.

Ok 7:45 at West Wickham, I'll update this thread with exact location of meetup point

Alright hitters, should be a good smashfest tonight with lots of sock doping #outsideisfree #di2 I've updated the route with the start location and routed back along the A21 back to Catford.

I think we'll be needing a very smashy smashfestina to be in time for last orders at the Catford Constitutional but it might be doable...

Ha I didn't mean to suggest we'd make it back for last orders. TBH I need to sort of shoot straight home, I don't think I'll have time for a post-ride beer

....mid ride beer?

....mid ride beer?

That's why bikes have a second bottle cage.

Hah my tongue was in my cheek don't worry.

@youramericanlover Can I just double check the new route, it looks like it starts going up Star hill then doubles back for the flatter route round to the A21?

Oh yeah fuck dunno what happened there. OK well I've kept the flatter option but we can always go up star hill if we "want" to

Haha I was relieved to see the flatter route, I suspect I'll be even more relieved when I get to the bottom of Star hill then keep going rather than turning to go up it.

Atm @Rod_Munch and @cagimaha are coming. Anyone else?

Despite lack of post ride libations maybe @seager ?

Wasn't there a TWTNRC routes thread somewhere, and should it be a sticky in this forum?

I remember the routes being posted in one of the early TNRC threads but I also thought someone had separated them out.

https://www.lfgss.com/comments/11768806/ I think that's the one? If so it is the last post in the sticky thread.

I’ll be coming fo sho.

Ta, I thought there was a separate thread.

Is it worth having one with clickable links?

That's seen me off I think, new record for slowest Q1 TT on the way to work this morning.

Yeah I know what you mean. Oof that was quite hard work, the route was hillier than I thought! Thanks @Rod_Munch @cagimaha @seager for the ride and the good spirits. I'm fucked today.

Yep, always great to ride with you guys. @seager and @Rod_Munch definitely putting the hammer down on the A21 back into town.

Cheers for organising that chaps - it's a great route. Would ride again etc..

Smashfestino really screwed me over - I was in bits when I split off at Bromley.

Great ride as usual!
