Sounds great! I'd be up for a club too, although I'm not sure if my fixed/single speed cycle gear would be suitable for the tri club or even roadies one, what are your thoughts?
How about an easy evening ride tomorrow (wednesday the 27th) in preparation of the friday Alleycat? Im free anytime in the evening if anyone is interested.
Tonight? No chance! Just got home from the TNRC Deluxe ride... achey, wrinkley, and missing a spoke :( Maybe next week?
You should go have a chat with a guy called Steve Avery, he's a mechanic at Bike Zone next to the covered market, he rides everything from mixed tandem time trial events to tricycle racing, his grandfather was the owner\framebuilder of the brand Lomas Cycles down on the Cowley Rd in the 60's. He knows about most of the regular team/group rides around the Oxford area and just basically an all round nice fella.
On the other tip about riding with the university clubs, it would be nice to hear some opinions on how they are, I've had some experience with them in the past (5-6yrs ago) and found them to be a complete joke.
Sounds cool, will hve to check out the shop.
In what way were they a joke, just not as experienced as "proper" clubs?
Any feedback on the tri/road club Ewan?
