Rough Stuff rides for LFGSS folk, join regular rides that avoid tarmac

TORC?

Haven't got a bike built up presently but I'm interested for the future

Am at what I think is the south end to HP, headed to the log cabin…

Well. That was just great. An absolutely brilliant route in stonkingly fine weather. Thanks again @ojwithbits for leading and @giofox for the way. I really enjoyed it. 10/10.

Thanks also for the escort to Audley End BR, after my comical stack on the down hill to Audley End. This morning I am tubi-grip, pillz and caffeine.

A bit lost in the conversation here, which Route are we talking about?

I am piecing together a London-Brighton-London route, currently looking like the below. Done the way down a few times, but the return leg is more uncertain, any input is more than welcome.

Eh, sorry for any confusion, @ojwithbits said he’d ganked your London to Cambridge offroad route of which I am now a big fan. Except around Audley End which is a cursed place.

Can I have this route please? @ojwithbits asking you basically as @leggy_blonde is too cool for Strava/RWGPS

Yeah I wish I was that cool too, to be honest.

Here’s the link to that ride, hope it helps. Your route towards Brighton looks decent, I think you’ve already seen the way I went there the other day, looks like you found a better way out of Ardingly Reservoir to get into the Downs than the one I chose

Has anyone got (not sure if it even exists) a pdf copy of the Rough Stuff cycling in the Alps? I would like to have it with me for the upcoming trip as I would gladly avoid carrying the paper version

Isola Press republished it so @maxl or @andy might be able to answer this?

anyone up for a tomorrow night off road tootle? 60km after work? weather looking good.

That's the one I have, a pdf of the same would save me taking snips of all pages

I’m going to organise another social ride out of SE London again, maybe like 80-odd km starting from Forest Hill again possibly, 22nd July, 9am-ish start, chill stuff, steal some of the bits @leggy_blonde has shown me haha

should be able to join finally

sweeeeeet! will be a chill one, not pieced a route together yet, planning to do it tomorrow and I’ll post it ‘ere

Gonna meet at St David’s Coffee in Forest Hill at 9am this Saturday for anyone who want a 90-odd km spin around the usual SE rough stuff

Like an idiot, I quit Insta, so do not see any offworld biz. My arm is now working and I can grab a brake lever, if there’s owt happening in the next few…

There is an overnighter cooking up actually man, I’m polling New Forest vs Cantii Way on instagram at the moment. Pros and cons of each… New Forest currently winning, will post here when it’s confirmed

I am also gonna do the North London Dirt 6 route this Sunday should you or anyone else here want to join, moving and grooving

Cheers : )
Overnighter in the New Forest sounds ideal!
Can’t do anything this Sunday because I have to get a stooge-at-a-wedding outfit and that is going to be a long and painful day in London’s London : /

Ah sounds awful, much more painful than somersaulting on a rutted farm track…

Good to hear you’ve healed up!

Impromptu overnight trip to the New Forest brewing for 19th-20th of August.
Campsite, ride Saturday afternoon, camp somewhere that lets us have a fire, maybe Woods ride on Sunday - myself and @launchpadboi are not in favour of this but think we may be overruled.
Generally more just a fun time than any mega miles.
There will be a whatsapp chat started later today for anyone interested, can DM me your number if ya fancy it

Nice… DMing.

keen! DMed
