Some friends and I are riding through the night on the 15th from bourne end in berkshire to ashley cross in poole.

Picking up the bournemouth route(100 club route) as soon as we can and stopping in the new forest for a picnic at dawn before finishing the ride in le bataeu in ashley cross for a slap up breakfast

We will be leaving bourne end around ten pm from outside on2wheels bike shop on the high street and gently cruising along.

Anyone done this route before got any tips of where to stop along the way or likely places to get lost. Or if you wanna tag along

Originally from Saaaaaauufffend, now out in the chiltern hills

Used to ride up and down the seafront when i was younger, and crazy rides to upminster and some woods near there somewhere (a real long ride when your a kid)

off topic a bit but are they really holding the olympic mtb near hadleigh castle? I used to ride there all the time, learnt to drift an mtb there - oh happy days

had an inbred 853 single speed for a couple of years, ran it rigid for most of the time and abart from the occasional beating over the rocks and roots it was ace.

Really wished i had kept it now...

I bought one of those ten quid saddles from on-one. Link further up somewhereI can confirm it is comfortable for me for long rides (a wet 165miles on sat). No problems at all and I usually get ripped to shreds be racier saddles.

Planning on stuffing as much as I can into pockets rather than take a bag, although going to check gear tonight as I not sure ten ginsters pasties, a bottle of pop and some jelly and ice cream will fit.Must remember to charge lights too to avoid idiot moment when replacing flat battery with another flat battery like 24/12 last year.

Ran these for about two years on my ss mountainbike. Great and make anything with suspension.feel like a fat slug. Found they could be ridden anywhere although got a few funny looks (and bruised hands) at afan. Wasn't slow over the rocks but you have to be really careful with your line. They are pretty tough as I have used them for dirt jumping but this is not recomended by pace.
Once you stop worrying about them flexing and watch the trail - ace. Wish I still had my ss mtb :-(

Two guys Just outside waterloo going to the southbank. One drinking coffee while pulling a wheelie. So good even my wife commented on how clever that is, and why can't you do that...

Outside paddington station lunchtime today, chap riding a very nice looking silver bianchi with white rear deep v

No shout as in work mode on way to meeting with clients

Must have been a day for it as on the way home a dozy van driver pulled alongside me in slow moving traffic and pushed me against the curb. He stopped when I hit the side of his van. Must have stopped him reading porn... Obvoiusly no wiser as he overtook me again a few minutes later and imeadiately turned left leaving me to pull up sharp Twat.

Must be the good weather brings out the daydreaming drivers.

Riding to work this morning through the rough town of Windsor - that queenie can be a right fucker and set the hounds on you - I ride to the front of a long line of traffic because of roadwork’s, do my usual wobbly attempt at a trackstand. Lights to green and off i go being careful to leave plenty of room for cars to get round as the sun is shinning and im nice like that

Little new blue Clio comes past with a red faced-screaming-horn blearing-giving the finger women (not being sexist but it looked like a women at least)

I check to make sure my head is not on fire, or am bleeding horrifically just to make sure her outburst is not a valid one before laughing back at her and waving...

That helped her deal with her anger in a more productive way by going a rather pleasing shade of red before belching hydrocarbons out of her crappy little car

How can people get so worked up before 7 in the morning, your driving to work chill out. God help the poor soul that has to work with such a temperamental bitch

Made me chuckle the rest of the way to work at least

Dan, my lights bolt on and would take an allen key to remove. Have even survived night riding off road crashes. Get a decent set of lights and you won't loose em.

Exposure enduro max and joystick. One on flash one on main beam. Car drivers get well out of the way. Live outside of london so need proper lights down the country lanes. Bit pricey but worth it. Have led as backup but shit for seeing where I am going.

Coaching mtb two days in a row - just had cream tea in the sunshine

Feel a bit sick now...

Two bikes this morning "locked" at the office. One a nodder commuter, the other a new looking spesh road bike. Both locked with a D-lock through a spoke. A bike theif wouldn't even need to try to remove that one. Think I will go tell the owner to sort it out.

Bloody hell - I found my copy of dirt up in the loft recently. Classic even with the dodgy music and effects

Lookin forward to the release of follow me. A new one by those collective chaps

Got a link to the preview here:

Just swapped to 74" from 97" to get back some leg speed - I'm faster on the big gear once wound up but finding my top rpm has dropped way off on my mtb (geared)

balanced and informative as ever from the inside out team... next thing you know we will all be wearing hoodies and be robbing old grannies

Not far from you - north town moor (I think that's what its called)

Ahh the hairpin climb over winter hill - one of my favorites for testing how well I am feeling at the end of a ride... Usually too knakered and wimp out through bourne end

its the shop in ashley cross - ride/snow i think

the tires are flat so you wont get far ;-)

any chance of a route of this

Looking to refresh my usual route maidenhead, marlow, lane end, turville, henly, marlow and home for a cuppa

Saw this in a local poole shop and wanna know more

Its a colnago track frame of some descripition that has recently been restored

And before anyone asks (as i did) its not for sale
