here we go!

used to have a Rolls Due saddle on my ride for a couple of years. a bit thinner than the regular Rolls. it was a brilliant saddle. i like the regular Rolls and have used a couple but they are just a bit on the big side.

flickwg @ jonny - why do i have to get back sharpish, its the opposite, the people i have to see are in brighton and sussex uni. Is there something that i don't know about???

i am speaking at a rememberance day ceremony. nothing bike related. should have plenty of time to enjoy the ride down and get back on the train.

BringMeMyFix [quote]jonny sounds good BMMF - i sense a few others may have to get back sharpish to0. Flickwg for one.

Hey! why don't we ride back in team time-trial formation ;)[/quote]

i think you'd probably have to do most of it on the front :)

doCA, have you tried velorution for the blizzards? i am riding plain black blizzard sports that i bought from there earlier this year. done over 5000 miles on them. two punctures. the rear is starting to suffer now but boy do they make a nice zippy sound when skidding. i don't think the coloured blizzards look very nice but that is personal choice

brett, did you sort out a ride for Sunday? you have always got the Condor right

not taking a lock, not leaving my bike where i can't see it. and won't be hanging in brighton too long. can only do the ride if i don't hang around as got things to do back in the smoke. shame, cos like the sound of chilling with food and beer - but sunday is gonna have to be just about the riding

asm [quote]jonny seriously, buy a rock hard saddle. in the long run it will help. bibshorts are good if you are doing a long run but for 7 miles i would think that is excessive.

In the long run? What do you ahve to put up with in the short term?[/quote]

a little bit of pain dear boy. tis all.

what bike you riding Andrew? : )

shit brett, sorry to hear that man. hope to see you on sunday all the same. get straight back on, so to speak.

MA3K|³| [quote]jonny those skinny tyres and drops have got to be worth a couple of teeth

So you are saying to leave the Steamroller at home? :p[/quote]

i knew i was setting you up for something like that. i like the fact she is still smiling.

okay guys, yes easy enough. just gave it a bit of double click action. here is the route to tower hamlets cemetery.
look out for those fireworks!

can finish it off as far as the pub near spitalfields if you like but it was just a straight run to aldgate along the Mile End road.

those skinny tyres and drops have got to be worth a couple of teeth

Sano (Samsonite) Which I have!

Thank the lord for front loading stems and a spare set of drop bars!

me too, well a spare stem and bars for a switch anyway. you'll be fine then.

MA3K|³| Steep like the first three quarters of Swains lane(which is OK) or STEEP like the last quarter?

it's been a couple of years since i last went up so my memory plays tricks. too many miles, too many hills. i would say parts of ditchling are up there with the top of Swains lane. maybe BMMF can elucidate further

Sano (Samsonite) I'm running 48:16 as well. What's the consenus of opinion?

a: Nothing to worry about, you'll be fine
b: Hmm, you might struggle a little
c: For god's sake, change it out! Your legs will fall off half way up Bitchling!

somewhere between a and b sano, but you will make it. i know from the halloween ride you roll with quite cut down risers, as i do too around town. a hill like this will make you feel like something with a little more leverage.

MA3K|³| Wow, I think I am going in 48 x 16, the gear I did Dunwich on.
How steep is this Bitchling Deacon? ( I usually go over Saddlescombe Road)

Food-wise leaning towards fish and chips, seaside right?

it ain't steeper than Swains Lane but just goes on a lot longer. you will do it on 48 x 16, but i will be glad of an 18 sprocket.

oh, and i might be in the fish n chips party. unless billys in montpellier road are still serving their legendary all day breakfasts
