Hey guys, would rather not be on the list as I won't be coming.

Totally agree that Kat is capable of leading the ride so I'm going to go along with her on a recce before the 31st.

For what it is worth there has hardly been a flurry of people stepping forward to navigate this one...I was only trying to help. No offence taken, just don't really see why it matters whether a male or female does the directions.

Same thing nearly happened to me yesterday on CS7 but luckily the driver turning right off Clapham Road was alert and dropped the anchors as soon as he saw me. A stark reminder to me to pay more attention (not intended as a comment on this accident).

Hope rider makes a swift recovery.

Easier to just cut gear cables...

I've got a 52T TA Alize going spare...might be a few too many teeth for you though?

I was planning a 30mi blast due south to Tonbridge yesterday but unfortunately got bogged down in other stuff. Wind in the back ftw :D

Think worse condition, with crappier parts!

Think Halfords?

With a 19mph headwind I'm positively impressed by that speed!

yeah, appreciate you were just offering to help out, just seems a bit backwards. Still, I can't talk. Or make that date, or I'd offer to lead. Though apparently other people aren't that keen on my much loved A10 route :(

I don't know what you mean Rosie...you lead all of your afterworker rides :)

I like the A10 route Rosie but it takes AGES to get out of town that way...50+ sets of traffic lights before you hit the country. Reeeeally?

I also admit to being a bit backward. Mummy says I'm special.

Ladies if there is someone who wants to take leadership from Dan then please do say so.
I would've lead but as I've never ridden that route before there are only two options a) I will make a complete fool of myself and/or b) it will probably take us two days to get there under my leadership.

And we had guys on the previous two rides so why not. At the end of the day it's us who is setting up the pace.

Let me know if nobody steps forward. The route I posted is definitely the quietest and most picturesque route that I have tried so far. Nice pubs to stop at too. Over to you ladies...

Obviously I think Dan is brilliant and everything but er... why is he leading a women's ride?

Not that I am in any position to criticise the position of men on women's rides given the state of my afterworkers but... oh, never mind.

@Rosie: I overheard a discussion where some of the ladies were expressing reticence to lead the ride so I offered to help out on the sole condition that those on the ride would like me to do so. I said that I'd provide my route whatever you decide and that is what I've done.

Its no odds to me either way. It is one of my weekly training routes so I was just offering my help should you guys want it. The offer is open but I agree that it'd be better to have a lady lead it.

^^ I can confirm that that is NOT an unbranded Track Champion. That is the same frame as the V-Sprint and the Edwardes that I used to have and 6pt currently rides.

I think it is a little misleading to claim that is a unbranded Dolan seeing as that frame and fork has never been near a Dolan designer or authorised factory.

Nice frame all the same but not much more to get the real McCoy which has a slightly better finish and is slightly stiffer.

EDIT: V-Sprint are currently selling the same F&F for £325 on their web site. If you don't like their decals they can be peeled off.

Maybe not relevant but at the track world cup a few weeks ago we saw one or two riders on Track Champions much to our surprise. Ok, more were on DF3s but I can tell you now that there were no Fuji Track 2.o out there ;)

This is the route that I take. Ignore the bits in London, there are a few wiggles to pick up other riders.

Chainbreaker ripped.

I did consider StoneTopiarist but ended up having to explain what topiary is to most of the people I ran it by.

Its a bad-ass hedge though, you have to admit that!

PMd

For you, maybe.

What a load of negative nellys.

Won't be out to play tomorrow night as I'm off for a stupidly hilly ride with Skive on Weds morning but I'll be out next week.

Haven't seen you at the Roe in ages anyway fatty.

I've got a big day of riding on Weds so I'll be gasping for some 'za. Will be there as early as I can.

I hate thread tags. That is all.

Did I spot you at Gloucester Gate in Regents Park on 23rd Feb at about 1015? I asked you to do a skid. I was in an Italian colours Giro jersey on a Dolan track bike propped up against the railings awaiting my riding partner for the day...

My friend pointed this out to me (we both know the seller, a bit of a celebrity). Decent deal or is he being optimistic with price? Anyway, if anybody is looking for a 52cm full build...

cheers for giving my latest rash purchase the thumbs up!

Oh? What did you buy?

She just told you. Alex collects dermatological specimens.
