^sounds like I am getting it right the, so no worries.

Just realised that was my first geared ride since mid-november.

@110pt

A fine effort though. Hard to believe I've known you for a while and we've still only ridden together for that 30 seconds.

I didn't see you out there Iain. In fact I only recognised 6pt. What is the etiquette for joining groups of cyclists that you don't know?

I wasn't really counting, but I think I did 6 laps in about 50 minutes, which I was really pleased with!

Notable points in chronological order:
1.Joining the back of a pace line thinking it was you lot. It wasn't.
2.Being joined for half a lap on the back of the SeriousRoadies group by some nutter doing laps on a Brompton. Turned out to be BMMF of LFGSS fame. A pleasure to meet you.
3.Tom spinning by and me giving chase and hanging on for all of about 30 seconds. Just long enough for him to let me know that he was on the days 110th mile. I had done about 20 at best. Fair play.
4.Doing a few more laps with some randomer. Pink jersey... hi if you're on here!
5.Being towed round for a final lap by another randomer. Way past my comfort zone so I couldn't take a turn at the front. When I thanked him for the tow he completely ignored me. Lighten up pal.

All in all pretty good fun for my first time around Regent's, I'm glad I came by.

HoP 7/4/11
Spin Cycle

Thursdays,1830hrs for 1845 departure at the Gloucester Gate traffic lights. Heading anti-clockwise.
20mph+ average, but if you can't hold on, worry not! Form your own little train for light relief. Lap times are between 7:00 and 8:00, with a possible slow lap/rolling rest after the first 4. Stop after 8 laps/22 miles. Or earlier, if you're a slacker (you know who you are). A little bit of a rest, then off to the Edinboro Castle for some refreshments (calorie recovery through chips and beer). Or the Flask, if you can face the hill. The chips are better and cheaper.

Looks like I'm in for this now. Have been running tonight so I will feel rubbish tomorrow- never mind.

I'll add myself to the SlackerList, but who knows how things will turn out. 6pt I recognise and approve your waiver of responsibility but I'll be damned if you can stop me doing laps... (hope Cambridge was good-- very jealous! Lovely day for it).

Yes.

You mean eating before i cycle home and when i get in?

I'd like to know your opinion on this one, please.

King of trackstand. Just sayin'...

^Lose the avatar.

Clearly do both.

Obviously East of the river is worst, then North is good, then West is ? then South is good. Like a sine or something. And yeah I know you can't be east of the river.

Is it true for everyone else?

what are the cheapest half decent 10 speed shimano compatable road wheels I can buy?

I have R500s as recommended by Tester. I've found them to be fine; can't see why it would be worth paying more tbh. Feel free to have a look at them sometime.

*You're *a tavern.

Bump! This is still available and I've given notice, so definitely moving.

I have no idea what's empty and cheap on a Friday evening. Seriously? I suspect nowhere.

Jerusalem!

Depends where you are! I only really know places 'round my work. Would be up for Jerusalem Tavern?

I might go have a beer on my own...

I've got an essential ultimate frisbee training session tomorrow; can't decide what to do. Will see how legs feel on the way home!

Let me know next time and I'll leave work on time :-/

I propose not the slaughtered lamb, too expensive and too full.

Where, then? I'm in EC1M and have bike.

I want beer. Where? When?

Now?

Gutted i didn't make it for this! Stayed at work until half eight; on the plus-side I managed fastestcommuteeverrrr.

I will be keen next week, but I have no intention of managing an average of 22mph; that sort of thing is for the unemployed :-)

If I knew Edinburgh Castle was on the agenda I would have joined post-ride!
