Glad you're okay! Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Ditto. I didn't even know you were supposed to keep that!

I live in east london so It doesn`t make sense for me to ride till seven dials then back east.

lets meet at 9:30 at BRICK LANE POLO COURT

I like the sound of this. I was getting pretty confused about the meeting time and place.

Coppi makes Lance look like what he is - two-dimensional.

Lance is a total hipster! Singlespeed, bike gang--he even rode a tall bike!

I have attached a couple of pics from the ride. Hey 57 Miles in under 4 Hours I think we kick ass.
Stu

Shit, was it really under four hours? I thought it was a bit longer than that.

Great ride, lovely route, and we really lucked out with the weather. Looking forward to the next one!

8am nice and early

From Wikipedia: "Close to Ditchling Beacon is a small spur known as Blackdog Hill, which is reputedly haunted by a headless black dog."

Night ride, perhaps?

you should be fine, depending on how you do in the city

i rode down there last time on 42 x 16 which is 69" and i think i was the lowest, i did fine, if its what you ride normally then you probably have a higher cadence than others so you should be cool

Thanks for the comment. I've been riding this 71" combination for a while in the city, but I'm still thinking of maybe going up one notch to 74 or 75". From what I gathered in that Wikipedia article, Ditchling Beacon is only about a mile long. Assuming the rest of the ride is pretty flat, I think I'd rather have the higher gearing, and suffer for that one stretch...

Last time I did ditchling it was on 48x16 and all my fixed-wheel life I have been on 46x16, recently I changed my gearing down and am slowly learning to let go.

I have just never done any type of distance in anything less than 75ish an am worried I will get left behind.

Ya, I've been trying to figure out what gearing to go with myself. Right now I have 51x19, which I believe is around 71". You guys think that will be okay? Seems like it might be too spinny for a long ride, but then again I keep hearing everybody talk about hills so...

Sorry, I don't really know the route/area so any advice would be appreciated.

I had the same thought yesterday when a police car waved me over. I ended up stopping and getting a £30 ticket for going through red lights. As if that wasn't bad enough, I had to listen to the most patronizing lecture from the two officers about how they're doing this for my own good, etc. They even said some shit about how a lot of times when cyclists get run over by trucks it's because they are violating the law. Ruined my weekend, seriously.

Still not sure which ONE to vote for...

Is all the voting going to take place through this thread, or is there going to be a new one with all the entries and a little voting poll thingy set up?

That said, +10 for black shirt over white.

Bicycles are apparently not a part of English heritage.

Super fun. Thanks for organizing. Can't remember the last time I was so cold, though. I say we repeat it once it warms/dries up a bit.

Thanks very much. I'll keep my eyes peeled on Holloway.

I'm in!

Sorry for the boring question, but I'm relatively new to England, and was wondering if anybody could recommend a place to buy some paint stripper and clearcoat. Preferably not too far out. I'm in Holloway (North), so preferably somewhere north, east, or central. All the places I've found through searching online seem wayyy out...

Thanks very much!
