:-( Too big

Damn you, hobbit genetics!

Maybe the just outside the confines of the outer ring road?

Top half wasn't too bad, benefits of hardly breathable waterproof layer. It was my hands and ankles that were in agony by time I got home :-)

Chilled? Bloody freezing :-).
Next time I'll be packing gloves and socks for sure

Can't beat riding a fix down quiet country lanes at night :-)

To be fair I would have had another had I known you were going to be about. Text me next time :-)

Well, that was a good crack. Albeit a fucking cold one :-)

on that note, please tell me those pedals you are running have spd's in the middle of them and you aren't skidding with no foot retention at all :-)

No worries bud.

I'll wait at the Forum till 7:15. Then we'll make our way down towards Yarmouth Road. I would expect our convoy to be going at quite a leisurely pace, so you will have plenty of time to catch us before we enter the maze that is Dussendale :-)

Nah, dont look like randos. Slicker

For maximum hardwearing against fixie skidding ... you can't beat Vittoria Randos:

Good cheap all round road tyre, Vittoria Rubinos are good too. Decently priced and decent puncture protection too:

Wife just pointed this out today:

:-)

So, to recap: 7pm at the Forum?

For the way back we can cut through Stonehouse Road / Howlett's Loke which brings you out at Salhouse Station. Or just smash it straight up Salhouse Rd, whatever :-)

Going out should be ok but lights will definitely be needed for the return leg. It's proper dark that side of Norwich.

I'll bring along my monster front light :-)

Ok, so here is a quick overview of the route I had planned:

From the Forum we go down St Andrews and then Prince of Wales, then cross over the lights and follow Yarmouth Rd all the way to Sainsburys. Go up through Dussendale then through a little 'cut through' that takes you onto the lanes. From there on we are pretty much traffic free until we get to the brewery, give or take having to cross over both Plumstead Rd and Salhouse Rd.

Or we could just smash it straight down Salhouse Road :-)

I think I prefer the route off main roads for this particular jaunt so we can ride several abreast, take it easy and chat away.

Thoughts?

I've got a preliminary route set, I'll go over it this morning and post up a map later on today.

jdp: I asked cos the last time I was up that way was Friday. When I read '2 days ago' technically it would have been Saturday so I was a bit puzzled :-)

7pm at the Forum sounds good

Rob on Mousehold Lane about 20mins ago.

Lol. When was this?

both / either

lol, both :)

Reading a recent GQ article, something dawned on me:

What happened to male models over the years?

In the 90's I remember most of them looked like this:

Now this seems to be the norm:
