So I record this route ridewithgps.com/routes/8125282 this morning and it's pretty good - ta @tricitybendix

Few interesting lumps, get to nice roads about 20 mins out of Catford once you're in Chislehurst. I reckon it's going to take about 2 and a half hours from/to Catford, hopefully we'll be a bit faster in a group, and hopefully I won't make as many wrong turns as I did this am!

Whose in then? Can people make 6pm at The Broadway Theatre in Catford? Or is that too early?

Burgess Park actually had barbecues built into t'park!

yes!!!

There's going to be a ride into Kent on Tuesday night if people fancy that - 30-ish miles at a decent-ish pace, gears mmore than welcome.

Excat details to be finalised on Monday re: meeting, leave time etc

Tbh I think it's for complete beginners and slightly more experienced. At the sesion I went too the only other girl had never been on a bmx whilst Rob was asking me if I wanted to learn how to do jumps : /

alternatively, how about we all find a date for Olympic Rock up and Ride??

@Cazakstan @kat @Doctor_Cake @blowfish

Some cracking spots in Streatham last night. The man,the legend, that is Johnny Bolax (not even sure if he is ON HERE) but plenty know him and that ridonc set up he's got for a bike, then @Katie-Coo track standing like a boss near Pizza Express and finally @Bernie for the 1st time in a bloody age. Awesome stuff.

So IN for BMX Bandits. I think I saw it as a kid when BBC 1 used to show kids films on a Friday afternoon/after school slot - showing my age there!

Also: LADIES DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS AT LEE VALLEY!!

Who can make the following: Sunday 21st June at 11.30am?

There's another session in July but I'm not here #selfish or it's wait until September.

And of course, if someone else wants to lead/organise, you fill your Sidi's innit!

Gearz deffo welcome but waaahhh! I can't make it now due to something coming up that I couldn't possibly miss - will reveal offline.

DEFFO DEFFO DEFFO next tuesday though - hopefully without bad knees or fierce winds. Soz ladeez : /

the black logo and mentions of HGV's endlessly bothers me and is cited so often. How is this allowed??

Rest in peace poor lady - be safe everyone and be grateful to be going home tonight.

Ugh. Horrible to read.

HGV's in rush hour. Why?

My knees look a bit odd but then they look odd in everything but flip! Those are some comfy shorts to ride in! Thanks @hoefla Soz! @kat

Awesome

I shall be popping by around 7.30-ish. Does that work for you?

YES PLEASE! I know where you mean - and the cycle track is actually quite nice tbf. It's the crappy road next to it that sucks really.

Ooh! I want some nice shorts to cycle in for summer - please may I dibs! @hoefla I'm actually popping into SE's tonight too!

I hope to do you proud bendix! Am going to recce one of your routes on Sunday and see how A-Road tastic it is!

As soon as I pin down a route @kati I'll confirm meeting point/time. It'll be somewhere SE'ly/New Cross-ish I reckon. Helpful, huh? ; ) Will be lovely to see you though :)

And @hoefla I'm rubbish at such things, but I'm sure someone will be able to upload garmin/strava stats afterwards to give you an idea of pace/distance?

Have been doing some thinking and I think this is the way to go...weights workout 3 times a week centred around compound lifting and then some isolation stuff using a few machines but mostly free weights and body weight (although I can't do a proper press-up for shit...for now!)

In my not very familiar with the weights corner of my gym I assumed there would be bars and plates like in body pump classes but the max they hold is prob 100kgs which whilst plenty for me not even for actual lifters, eh?

Oh well. Will perserverve!

Hmm. So just done day one of Stronglifts...there are only two of those rack things (as seen in French Touch's post above) and only three bars...as far as I could see, so actually being able to get a bar is going to be a challenge.

Do you think it's Stronglifts is do-able with hand weights. For some reason I thought there were way more bars in my gym. Bah! or bar...

Face yoghurt sounds all kind of wrong!

Thanks everyone - this genuine fits pro stuff - in that it's clear and achieve able. Have really cut down on my big carb and pints habit but have developed a shocking sweet and chocolate habit of late so that's the next to target. Need to be a bit smarter/plan my eating too so going to see if I can get 140gr of protein in my day without resorting to shakes an' that.

The 5x5 strong lifts looks rayt easy to use too - complete with an app. Gonna get started on that this afternoon. I'll be ripped by next weekend, right??

My diet is less bad than it was but aware I've got some way to go - I started looking at macros but that made my head spin so simple info like "2 grams of protein per KG" is also helpful. Thank you!

So, are you saying 2gram per Kg per day? So, if I'm 71 kg I should be eating ~140gr of protein a day?

And thanks @well_is_it I have a core of jelly atm but I do notice when I actually engage what core muscles I've got I do make a bit more power/speed. And my thighs get knackered ridicously quickly when I'm at the BMX track so need more strength there.

Cheers all. I feel some reading and a spreadsheet coming on at the weekend.

Thanks for all the input to my saga Tattoo Thread Types!

Just to update I decided to cancel as I just wasn't feeling happy about the whole hoopla. Credit to KoH they had absolutely no issues with me cancelling - were very decent and refunded my deposit with no problems.

No just to find a new tattooist in Ldn...!

There's some properly nice stuff on here though - so good place to start!

Totally read that in my head in Nic's voice <3 <3 <3
