7 Years ago we had one of the first Ladies ride - We made some great friends on that ride. Friends we still have. So let's do this again!
All Women on bikes are welcome, this will be a gentle paced 10 miler from Buck House to Richmond Park for a picnic (or pub if it rains)We will be mostly on quiet roads and no-one will get left behind.
To get an idea of what it might be like - have a look back at the thread from 7 years ago to see how much fun we had, we even got a wave from Joanna Lumley!
https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/149031/Top Tips for a Great Day:
Check your bike over before you set out, make sure your brakes
work and your tyres are pumped up. Pack a spare tube at the very
least - I will be carrying tools as will some others, but the more
tubes we have the better - hopefully they won't be needed.Most of this route is on quiet roads, however there are a couple of places
where we are crossing busy roads, please keep together. There are
limited obstacles/pinch points on this route, but I will be shouting
back when we are coming to a point where we need to slow down, etc -
please pass this back through the ride so everyone at the back knows
whats going on.This is a pretty slow paced ride, there are a couple
of fairly easy inclines, some of the route is on towpaths, whilst the surface isn't
too bad, I wouldn't advise riding tubs!Find my number in the phone
numbers thread and put it in your phone.Bring a picnic! Obviously this is dependant on weather, if the weather is not picnic friendly we will be having a short stop in Richmond park at the Roehampton Cafe then back to a nearby pub - probably in Barnes.
We expect to be hitting RP around Lunchtime for those that want to join us there
at the ponds.I will be heading back from the park towards Shepherds Bush - with maybe a stop at Hammersmith riverside for a cheeky pint, anyone heading that way is welcome to join me. There should be several South Londoners on the ride who can lead back to SE or SW also.
Weather is looking very good for Sunday, bring sunscreen and plenty of liquids!

Right! so it's been 7 Years almost to the day since the Attack of the 50 Fixed Women ride!
@mrs_socks suggested a reboot, and I think it's a damn fine idea.So I thought i'd put the feelers out, I'm thinking similar route about 10 miles easy pace- ending in a picnic in Richmond Park (or a pub if it rains) totally open to all ladies, fixed or no (I will probably be on the Brompton) and finishing at Canopy or somewhere similar.

Please tag others I've missed Stef, Lucy etc - I can't remember their forum names. Will also sort something out on facetube.
No date as yet, but looking at sometime in mid August.

My colleague on a motorbike witnessed the immediate aftermath of this (heard the collision just before passing the road crossing the junction) and said that it appeared to be a left turning coach that hit her at the junction of white church lane and the A11.
Thoughts with the rider and her family - I hope she pulls through.
