nice - be good to see you JJ

has not been AGES since I saw you Mr Smiff

In 6.30 or so. Been AGES.

Oh bollocks - think I have a meeting after work on Tuesday. Was all ready to show off my hill-climbing skillz 'n' all. Will do some diary juggling.

Where's the ride btw?

Our conclusion was that the second side is the tougher....

Saturday: nice little roll out from St Marie de Campan, followed by a persistent but tolerable climb up the Col du Tourmalet (east side), fab 20km descent to Luz St Sauveur for a pizza...

..then a chat about whether we rode up the easy of the hard side of the Tourmalet...

About 10 minutes later, Smiff and I decided to find out by turning back and climbing the fucker again from the west side. 20km of tolerable, then intolerable, then excrutiating pain and a little bit of sick in my mouth, then reached the summit :-)

Brilliant end to a week's riding in the Pyrenees. And not bad for a card-carrying hill-hater.

Poop. Both clash with childcare weeks. Sounds fab though.

I may have done the half-read-thread-misquote-thing....

Slower than yours ;)

Wasn't my best effort to be fair, sprinted out of the wrong corner didn't I..

Reckon I can knock out 30 miles in an hour, got myself a computer so can put that one to the test now..

30 miles in an hour....that's 30MPH...(wiki - On a fast racing bike a fit rider can ride at 30mph on flat ground for short periods)

Sorry for sticking my oar in seeing as I ain't riding, but this 30mph talk needs to be quoshed.

Unless its downhill speed. Then....as you were ladies...as you were....

Most i've cycled lately was 35 miles (in the pouring ran too), so i'm not going to be senior speedy. I'm looking forward to the challenge though.

Spotter, I'm missing Brighton ride as I'm (...can't remember why...) doing "5 classic Cols of the TdF", 360k of Pyrenees in just only one week. I'd be crying going up Ditchling. I shall probably die next week.

Think of me y'all.

Don't let Jayloo hear that spacehoppers are welcome...

oooh, jenny j, good luck. I'd really like to hear how it goes - and how much training you've done for it - since I may be persuaded to do it in 2013

I have done not much training at all. Couple of club rides. Whitedown reps (2; by mistake). I'm hoping the base miles I did in 2009 might kick in.

Well scared.

under my duvet is where I'd rather be right now

I'm a bit out of love with my bike at the moment. Not sure why. And slightly worrying given the hill-fest that is approaching at the end of the month.

100k tonight would break my very soul.

Have fun y'all and any hints for finding the love would be much appreciated.

Hi ladies, would love to join you, but will be in the Southest of France climbing the fucking Tourmalet......23k climb followed by 35k descent.

Holy. Fuck.

What was I thinking....

you go girl, knew you'd get there

Right ladies, just another half hour of faffing around in the loft, and I'll be on the velo and headed Wapping way. I is also on Brompton.

FTT? CPA happening Tuesday?

Cry off Ops or part of WR on Monday? Come in early on Mon or Tues? Stop posting on the forum ;-) loadsa options

you coming Jen?

almost certainly gonna be there. off work today so can do early doors

Jayloo, no report is ever so urgent you need to stay late on a Friday. Specially when there's drinks a-happenin. Just sayin

Have found drinking/put the world to rights buddy so no riding for me this eve.

Have a good one y'all

I have serious first-day-back-at-work-itis, for which the cure is alcohol and gossip. I am almost certainly bailing.

19.33 train, right?

Where are the Garminators?

Here sticks hand up in air

Although my attempts to use it on Sunday just led to laps of Whitedown (only two, but that's more than enough for me)

Haz route innit and happy to lend to one more technically minded to me if anyone wants to lead
