See you there.

Had anyone else ever had 15 years between their first and last GT stage win?

I love how you've wedged almost every possible metre of vertical ascent within a four-mile radius into the route (though I'd be tempted to throw Benson Road into the mix before Canonbie), but my legs/lungs don't quite love it yet.

I think we rode every slope in South London while refining the route, including a number of footpaths, council estates, private roads and on at least one occasion, stairs.

WTF is Wednesday hills?

I have been interrupted by life. Aiming to get going again at some point.

It's lovely before 6:40 which is when they open the gates to cars.

I must have been lucky with traffic on the way to the sea and thought the route was pretty interesting - someone had obviously spent a lot of time finding ways to string the least-bad roads together. Might have benefited from a 6am start.

I did see @Ruserius on the Isle of Grain but I was going the other way tucked in behind a wall of club riders hiding from the headwind.

Can't watch ITV at work because the geolocator thinks I'm located in our head office, somewhere in Europe. Grr.

I'm doing GMC this weekend and slightly bricking it because I've only ridden 1,100 miles this year and most of those miles were flat.

Oh well, head down and get on with it I suppose.

I'm having trouble with Tuesday evenings, sadly. Looking forward to getting out to the White Bear again when the clocks change.

I've also got unfinished business, but, this year I'm taking 5 kids cycling in the Loire valley instead.

Finishing LEL will have to wait for another time.

I'm out for tonight

Anyone in for tonight?

Did Cambrian 1K and the reverse route on the weekend.

Do you know if there's a map showing (roughly) where all the rides in the series go?

Am going to get out for a slow and painful hills on Tuesday. Assuming I can find enough cold weather gear.

I'm in as well. See you there.

Apparently it is running quite close, the same as the railton one. The pro-traffic mob are better at mobilising angry people.

I use the railton LTN a lot and have responded.

The nearby Oval ltn is also being consulted on - http://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/OSConsult

This one is important for people who use Q5, from Oval to Clapham.

The weather forecast is pretty spectacular at the moment.

Saturday: riding into a headwind and a thunderstorm

Sunday: riding home into a headwind and a thunderstorm

Don't think I'll be doing this year unless something changes!

Hmm. Planning to cross Ventoux riding from London to Nice.

Looks like Malucene -> Sault is the logical direction, but, is it worth doing it the normal way of you've never ridden up it before?

A bit of redundancy/over-engineering prevents you from losing all your teeth the second your bike gets a tiny scratch.

That Isla bike is lovely.

We've had a wide variety of kid cycle gear, how well it works seems to depend on the kid.

1. Burleigh trailer - kid hated it
   
2. Hamax siesta - loved but destroyed two back wheels, 36 spokes recommended
   
3. Wehoo trailer - well loved, especially by a kid that hated sitting still
   
4. Follow me - best invention ever, 10/10
   
5. Wild bikes - better than Frog, cheaper than Isla
   
   

We aren't quite into Audax territory yet, but don't think it is that far away.

Usually from the South but I believe we've done every possible way up forest hill at some point.

Nut, mount, second nut.
