Going to do a few laps around Richmond Park tomorrow morning, if anyone is interested...

Thanks all for a lovely day and for Booga for agreeing to meet us at the top of a hill. Hope to see you all for part 2 next week.

Thanks Katy, and indeed the whole group, for a great ride today! I would never have done anything like it without your help and encouragement. I will try and see you all again next Friday, if possible.

Let’s go wild swimming!

Thursday 16 August – Clifton Hampden

50 mile roll over the Chilterns to swim in the Thames. Quite bumpy in the middle, so gears might not be a bad idea if you’re no fan of hills.

Depart Iver Station 9.15 (trains out from Paddington 8.27 – arr 8.51 or 8.38 – arr 9.03)

Would anyone have the time for a last-minute ride to Brighton during the day this week?

I would love to give it a go, if anyone's interested...

Good to meet you earlier, nice ride, nice weather.

Yes--thanks again! I went back on Sunday (yesterday) but the rain was wicked. Appreciated your help.

Hi dublinkevin,

I would love to join--I am definitely interested. Riding to coastal places sounds interesting. I'm not sure how to private-message using this site, but do let me know if you are planning something. Thanks for letting me know--

Actually I can't figure out how to private message. So if there's an emergency, I'll call the shop!
See you tomorrow.

Sounds great. See you then! (Will private msg you my cell phone number, just in case)

Yes by all means. I will walk back in my cleats if necessary! Let me know what time works for you and I can meet you at look-mum-no-hands then. I will be with a white bike called Opus (a Canadian make)

I am pretty flexible on time--maybe whenever the road traffic is lighter? If that ever happens in this city...

That kind of thing is perfect! Thanks for writing. I will keep looking for rides in the interim. I am training for a long ride through California and need to get out on the bike pretty often.

I was thinking about heading up to "look mum no hands" for 7:30 for a check on my derailler--so any time after then really...

Also, I probably average 25k/h over a long ride--don't want to hold anyone back. You can lose me once we get to the park! haha

When are you looking to head down there?

Is anyone from the City area up for doing a ride in Richmond Park tomorrow (Friday)?

Here's the catch: I arrived here yesterday from Toronto and just got my road bike re-assembled. I'm staying near Monument tube station and I have no idea how to get to Richmond Park (no GPS on my bike). More importantly, I've never ridden on the left-hand side of the road and I would feel more comfortable getting there with other riders. So if someone wanted to ride there from City, I would be grateful for the help.

Hello all,

I arrived yesterday from Toronto and just had my road bike re-assembled (so glad it made it through the plane ride). I am staying in the "City" area of London for a month and I would like to do some rides on weekdays (whenever the roads are least busy). Could any of you recommend a group I could join or know any people who go out? I would love to do some rides in the country--I worry about riding through city streets alone as I have never ridden on this side of the road before. I can sustain at least 25km/hr, in terms of riding with an appropriately paced group. If anyone has any suggestions for me, I will be eternally grateful!
