Could be quite hilly as you are going over the south downs. Why not train down to Guilford or something then ride the best bits.

By the way what motorbike you got?

Hey Kiwi1 are you the Kiwi in Kiwi Cycles?

If you fancy a 20 mile there and back route from central London, out to High Beech in Epping Forest is a pretty good ride. Could end up as quite a long day for anyone who lives south of the river though.

Cheers for that, not sure I'm gonna have time to get down to Covent Garden today :-( but i might try later.

Damn I'm looking for a around 56cm, as that's the size I recon I need - the 54cm I tried yesterday was just too small.

What size do you ride David?

is it geared or fixed?

If anyone is looking for a nice fixer they have a really nice Metallic Red lugged Fondriest in Brick Lane Bikes, would have been mine if it wasn't too small - its a 54cm.

Hasn't the fact that he's not gonna start the TdF been in the news for a couple of weeks?

Wonder if Discovery are beginning to regret buying him? Or will be still be 'worth it' if he wins the Giro again.

Also when does Discoverys sponsership deal end?

sadly not mine. I currently don't own a fixed, i usually ride a Kinisis Crosslight, but it gets safely stored in the office carpark.

Look forward to hopefully attending some pub meetup or event soon.

Hello all - first post.
Aplogies if this has been asked before.

Just wanted to ask what is a good gear ratio to start out on? I'm looking at my first fixed bike at the moment and was wondering where to start. Im pretty fit and currently commute around 20 miles each way from Epping into Canary Wharf.
