crack of dawn is proposed becuase we want to get there before the start to warm up vocal cords.

I'd but up for this, although i'll probably have to bring my own copy of the route since a "rolling" pace might be a bit quick for me at 8.45 on a Sunday morning. Does it count as being part of a forum ride if you turn up at the end 30mins after everyone else?

rolling is meant to mean a little bit faster than 'amble'. so the pace is more likely to be leisurely-rolling. it is a decent ride (hills...etc) and we want to get there but i don't want to deter people from coming along. so maybe bring a map and if you feel like pace is to high tell us and we'll either slow down or see you down there.

Btw Will, I'd propose some adjustments to your route, mainly taking the Pilgrims Way before crossing the M25 and following that to Sundridge. It's more scenic and has a lot less traffic than the A25.

yes i'm happy with that and actually think that was the way i was going to take (i didn't look at the map as i know the route pretty well).

depends if you want to watch the bec hc as well (just down the road). if i remember correctly we got back at around 4 or 5 last year. but if you left after catford hc you'd be back by 2. (it's about a 2hr ride down there).

good luck to BMMF, Claus, and Illy in the climb itself - any other forumengers doing it?

fixed. i missed the deadline (bit of a fail on my behalf) so not riding up that hill on sunday...

Nice work tex, will be there will roll from west.

cool see you down there. i'm probably out of the ride tonight so i'll bring the cash for the goods on sunday..!

going to be redoing this ride to the catford hill climb and the bec hill climb. it was a good ride last year and again the forum is well represented.

the ride down there is nice but it is hilly but also doable on a fixed (i'll be on gears). you do need to be reasonable fit, bring water, food and appropriate clothing. the pace will be 'rolling'.

the route, can be found here (same as previous years):this is a rough route as we will be probably taking more back roads.

so we leave at 815 SHARP from smithfield market and 845 from crystal palace (st Germain cafe)

it starts at 1030 so the 18miles from crystal palace will need to in an hour and thirty minutes to make the start. easy.

and is the words of claus last year ' Come and cheer on the brave forumengers racing.'

after a few week of chest infection, cough...etc the cold (directly related to the wet that is caused by rain) means that i'm out of this one. enjoy.

nuff said?

yes - he is world champion.

I reiterate: Fucking savages

I lived there for 10 years and fucking hate that country.

If you weren't interested in footy, cars and surfing you don't exist in their spectrum of expected behaviour.

The amount of times I had people try to run me over when out skateboarding or cycling(even mounting the curb sometimes whilst I was skating on the pavement).
Numerous occasions having shit thrown at me from passing vehicles, including beer bottles..
People taking swings at you just walking through town with a deck under your arm.

A land of fucking, fucking, savages.

Nice beaches and weather though.

cannot work out why the fuck you stayed for 10 years if they disliked you so much there?

calling it a land of fucking savages - jesus. i've lived in a few places around the world and could shit on all off them but i also see good points in them all. though some (not you it seems) show respect to them and their differences.

Texas I haz stuff for you.

great. so i'm the only one enjoying congestion on london's streets on the way out? hmmm

evans is open.

i was going to bring a noob now i will not.

@ clintsmoker, what's wrong with riding out? i like london's roads.

early bird catches the worm.

is there a cap on the number of people for this ride?
do we need to bake?
do the rules from the previous rides still apply?

i purchased titanium glasses so i feel that i fit in more.

**ADDITIONAL TRAIN INFO:

• The train will most likely leave from platform 9b. This is one of a few 'extra' platforms, tucked away through an entrance half-way up the left side of platform 8.

• Facing the direction of travel, the doors open at Finsbury Park on the left, but all stations thereafter open on the right (so shift bikes at that point). On the return journey, all doors open on the left.

• The 7.18pm train arrives in WGC @ 7.46pm. The 7.36pm train arrives 11 minutes later.

• Return trains @ 9.58pm, 10.27pm, 10.30pm, 10.50pm (the last realistic train for Sam's 11.50pm connection), 11pm, 11.32pm, 12.09am.

No test ride, no buy.

i've brought all my bikes without riding them - all been fine. you can change stuff around (stem, saddle position...etc) to get the similar poition unless you are planning to do 00000's of miles.
i like the boardmans. ridden one and they ride well. for that price = bargain

For so many reasons. The only decent thing about it is the small area of *Gorgeous Baby Blue*™ paint.

check the bars on this. they're cut off therefore it is nigh on impossible to brake? why would you do this?

one hell of a bump to get this bargain to the top of classifieds.

thread economics. 17 threads so far therefore £17? that conversation ain't going to take long.

i think starting a thread offering gripshifters on a fixed/single speed forum should equal immediate ban. a) there shit b)we don't need them

^ fair enough. now youve got 4 bumps for the price of 1

Bump.

If this is still here on Wednesday when I get paid then I'm all over it.
But I'm not counting my chickens or something to that extent.

why did you bump if you want it to still be here? strange.
is £80 really deserve having 'bargain' in the title.?

it may be rare that cadel wins but...this was awesome. after a two tours where he rode well but had some problems (team tt undermined tdf and a flat tyre undermined vuelta) he showed that he is always underestimated. especially by spaniards and italians yesterday

yep

.

I should have added above, what another great TNRC ride with a cohesive group of strong riders. Cheers all, it was a lot of fun.

too busy dreaming about your win hey!!? ;)
