@Ruserius

just realised the train goes into windsor riverside....
arrives at 07:51.

meet on the corner of datchet road and thames street, bel and the dragon pub, for 0800??

@Ruserius

0810 - windsor central is grand.
aiming for a shade under 4 hours.

see you at the station.

yep. all set.

appreciate it's well early to get on but sun will be out and i have family commitments in the afternoon.

best of both worlds!

you keen?

awesome. thanks @Arvy.

as i said, i'm happy to lead this out with some assistance.

i'm planning to recce the route as i haven't ridden last years.

this weekend, i'll ride this:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29129102

most of the route but shortened down to 55 mile.
it'll most likely be saturday, the 5th. it's looking sunny, dry and cold......

anyone who wants is more than welcome to come along.
i'll be on the 07:08 from clapham junction to windsor / eton central.

--

trains for the 19th i'll confirm soon enough. most likely the 08:02 from clapham junction.

plan will be to depart from staines around 0900 on the 19th

right ho.

sounds like a plan.

2018 route looks mint and the half way stop is well half way and i remember being perfect.

last 23 miles is pretty much flat so easy to smash out in a group.

@pastry_bot you happy to corral the group together? should work well.

wow dan.
so gutted to hear this, really hope the recovery goes smoothly.

i'm more than happy to stick my hand up to lead but i'm not 100%.

went and did 50 mile round kent yesterday with over 4000ft of climbing and it was tough work. looking at the hard day i did 2 year ago we only did 3000ft over the 90 odd miles.

in a month of regular cycling, i'm hoping to be in a much stronger place.

if your happy ping me the gpx routes and i'll have a look. they could make up the basis of my riding over the next month.

yikes!

welcome to screw club!!

what a time to snap your leg.

hope you have a proper chance to rest up over chrimbo and wishing you a speedy recovery.

hope you're back up and at 'em as soon as.

can't do this week but keen for next.

just did the calculation for the 1st time.

48x19 is 190 rpm at 37mph!

real spinny.

48x19 is a good bet.

somewhere around 66 gear inches is golden.

enough to climb up pretty much anything and not too spinny until you hit 38mph downhill.

did the commute on my sweet fixie this morning. haven't ridden the thing in over a year. massive grin on my face the whole way in.

also keen for some sunday rolls.

back on the bike and going well.

seems like this is the comeback ride.
it's only been another 2 years.......

after doing the 2017 version. which was epic, i've been on a long road of recoveries with 2 broken patellas and 3 knee surgeries in the past year and a half.

i'm way way off match fitness but would love to do this.

it's in the diary.

my longest ride in the last 18 months is 25 mile so got a lot of work to put in but this is the kinda thing i need on the horizon.

best get on the bike.

doesn't look so hard. everyone looks too happy!

great work getting this done yesterday. it was grim out there!

have fun. stay warm!

oh yes.

@youramericanlover @OneLessCardigan

i'm well and truly out. one of the pins holding my knee together has backed out and i'm unable to walk properly. that's really recovery on hold.....

i promise to make an appearance at something this year.

have fun on this, was looking forward to it.

gonna pencil this in the diary.

i broke my knee cap in the summer and had surgery early september so recovering slowly. today i managed to turn my legs through the rotation of the cranks so fingers crossed on getting enough indoor and outdoor miles by the time this rolls round.

always good to have a target in mind!

good to see you bud.
see you about!

haha.

too long si.

hope your good bud!

probably not starting until 1000 as we need to park the children. but hopefully see you for a midway pint, midday at the cutty sark.

looking forward to this.
remember the cutty sark pub doesn't open until midday but is the best spot for a mid ride pint.
riding with the missus, looking forward to seeing some peeps.

guess it kinda looks like a ninja star.

glad you got through ok in the end.

did they confiscate it??

well everybody a great day in the saddle.

i finished up with 91 miles on the clock so god only knows how much some of you did!

i'm clean and have eaten and surprisingly feeling pretty good.

up for next year but that a-road is a massive no-no. good group decision to bail off it.

only the one stack and that was from standing.....luckily no names.....@youramericanlover

coupla punctures is impressive considering some of the shite we went through at points.

congratulations to the rider of the day @Thuekr, an amazing effort considering an international flight and no brakes.

much love all.
