i'm doing it on a trandem. alone. at the back.

i am not doing this as i'm going to the paragon saturday ride

god i havent been there in ages... i'll drop by for one

i recce'd this route last night. it's sweet! some nice flats, a few technical turns and a bit of an incline right at the beginning to get you warmed up. the cyclocross part between shaftsbury and holborn makes it super exciting, too. a great route...

fuck it, let's lock all the other threads so that we can only post in this one. will solve all our problems.

wore my arm- and knee-warmers for the first time this season on the tuesday night ride. felt a little sad about that.

if i find time to pick up my bike from the shop and take the clamp-on off on saturday, you can borrow mine. pm me.

How steep are the descents? I don't mind climbing but I'm not so comfy descending fast on fixed. My legs just spin out wildly and it really doesn't feel as though there's much sort of foot/speed control going on unless I touch the front brake a tad and engage fixie-skiddies (which ain't so great if it's slippy out). Time for a rear brake?

steep. really steep. hairy steep. white knuckle steep. sit-on-the-rivets-so-you-don't-go-over-the-bars-as-you're-squeezing-the-brakes-as-hard-as-you-can-just-to-slow-down-a-little-bit steep.

sorry Teddy!
The storck is beaut!

your de rosa is very handsome as well

/self congratulatoriness

you are right marco, this thing is too heavy!

it is very heavy, at that. i thought the storck might actually bend and shatter under the weight when it was leaning against it on the train ;)

wools - lower your gearing a tad and give it a go. try the day time first so you get a feel for the roads that you just won't see in the night and if you can't make it there's no hassle with falling off the pack and getting home. As long as you're prepared to dig deep it'll be fine.

i actually got up that last hill by repeating to myself, "dig deep, ted, dig deep. this hill's got to have a summit. dig deep, ted, dig deep. i'm sure the summit's coming up soon..."

glo-sticks. i can hold them in my fingers and throw some shapes on the descents.

i'm not at all down with brighton at night. are you doing another route this sat, james? i'd be up for it.

Whatever happened to the Goodwood Revival thing?

they were a bit weird about it.

and yes, 2010

i was thinking candles. one on the stem, one on each of my hoods.

yeah cheers for that, guys. that was brilliant. challenging, but thoroughly enjoyable. next time: brighter lights.

awesome, keep this thread updated when you post new bikes, please!

yep. next london one's planned for march 2010.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i was thinking assos. i was wondering how the hell we made it into the assos catalogue. ha ha ha!

new york tweed run, 10 october.

is it cool, or uncool?

JESUS these tuesday rides have so many rules...

PENGUINE LOGO GUIDELINES

Looking for a ‘dignified but flippant’ symbol for the new business in 1935, it was Allen Lane’s secretary who suggested a penguin. The world famous mark has been updated several times since then, including the venerated Jan Tchichold version of 1948.

Now the mark has been sensitively adapted for the digital age, so that it reproduces equally effectively in print and electronically, at all permitted sizes.

The Penguin logo must never be altered or recreated without the prior permission of Penguin. The logo should only be reproduced from master digital artwork supplied specifically for this purpose by Penguin's Marketing department.

PENGUIN LOGO (PRINT)

Logo direction
The penguin should always remain in the same position within the oval and should always face to the viewer’s left. (If applied to a transparent surface, the penguin should face left according to the direction from which the majority of people approach.)

Minimum size
For legibility reasons, a minimum size at which the logo may be reproduced is recommended, the logo should never be reproduced for print any smaller 6.5mm / 0.25" high.

Minimum clear space
The logo should always be placed at least 1/7 of the height of the oval away from surrounding items or the edge of the page.

Logo with text
Whenever the ‘Penguin Group’ text appears with the logo it should always be in Sabon Bold, upper and lower case, and should always be centred beneath the logo. The logo should never be closer than 1/7 of the height of the oval to the cap height of the text.

LOGO COLOUR
We have carefully selected the colourways in which the Penguin logo can be reproduced. These should never be ignored or deviated from.

1. When printed in full colour the logo should only appear in the three corporate colours: black, white and Penguin Orange (Pantone® 1505).

2. Always use the black and white version of the logo when printing black and white.

3. To ensure accurate colour reproduction the colours for all applications should match the Pantone®, CMYK (process) or RGB (desktop) specifications detailed here.

4. Shown here is an accurate screen example of the Penguin Orange (RGB).

5. Always use the colour version of the logo surrounded by a white keyline when printing in colour on a solid background.

6. Always use the black and white version of the logo surrounded by a white keyline when printing black and white on a solid background. The keyline version of the logo is provided as master digital artwork in various sizes with appropriately weighted keylines. You should use the closest sized logo to the one you require and scale up or down accordingly.

7. Always use the colour version of the logo when printing in colour, on patterned or picture backgrounds.

8. Always use the black and white version of the logo when printing black and white on patterned or picture backgrounds.

** LOGO USES WITH PARTNER LOGOS**

When using the Penguin logo alongside other logos:

• Always ensure that all logos appear equal in stature.
  
• Always place the Penguin logo on the right hand side of it’s partner logo (so the penguin is facing the other logo).
  
• Never place the partner logo closer than the minimum clear space to the Penguin logo.
