I'm out for this one, going to ride out from Crystal Palace as planned.

may well be out for this one now, had planned for an early and local start / finish, wanted to get back to watch the tour...

ahh crap, looks like arnie is even more of a skinflint / stussy fan than me,

I would love some 'new' tees, and can collect tomorrow....

I may be out tomorrow - foot is still a bit fucked after a row with a kitchen appliance on Saturday.

Apart from the drag up from Elmers End to West Wickham presumably? :-)

Total climb: 171ft
Total descent: 289ft

118ft Downhill innit. ;-)

You meeting us at Crystal Palace Dov?

Timings on tdf website are showing VIno etc at +53" and AC at 1'13".

Only 20 seconds but could make a difference.

Props to Geraint T

This ride will be fairly organised, plan is:

Ride out to Twickenham slowly to warm up (17mph) and then on to just past the halfway point at 20mph+ with half k changes at the front, carry on at that pace until 3/4 point then drop back down to a comfortbale pace.

Did the route last night and it's good fun, so come prepared to ride.

The end of the route has a decison in it (Richmond Hill), we can either go round it or up and over, last night we went up and over, it wasn't fun. We'll see how fucko'd the group feels before making the decision tomorrow.

This was last week's plan, same this week?

1km or thereabouts is normally the plan, we're not quite that slick yet though.

I'm up for thursday too, others?

Everyone takes breaks at the same time. ITV's are just really long!

That's wack, but I suppose it's dictated by whoever provides the feed.

Why take a break on a fast wet descent?

Cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Did they show it on ITV4?

Eurosport were on a break, the cocks.

I've only just found this thread, when searching for Canonbie Road.

Firstly, I can't believe I missed this event, it looks absolutely brilliant and loads of really neat people were involved. Definitely in for next year!

Secondly, Canonbie Road is brilliant. I spotted it the other day when riding up to the Horniman museum and thought that it would be a good one to put into a training loop. Went out last night and did a few of the hills around there, Overhill Rd, Langton Rise, Westwood Park and Canonbie Rd. Managed it from the steep side on 48 x 19 and really loved it. What a great view as a reward at the top. (I hope that you lot looked back over your shoulder when you had come up it from the other side?)

I only did the circuit once last night but am thinking about ramping that up so that I can start to not die on the Surrey Hills. Anyone fancy joining me?

I sometimes do canonbie road, from the Forest Hill side, round the corner and descending onto Honor Oak Road

Have you tried Eliot Bank? Bit rough at the top but good 'fun'.

I got applause from the Yoot Dem at the top last time as well.

**RIDE CAPPED**

out. Place 27 is open :-(

I ride my bike.

The thing that improved my fitness was riding it further and faster.

eVent all the way.

Paclite is light but sweaty.

Montane H20 is not fully waterproof.

I got the DHB eVent jacket from Wiggle which is very keenly priced.

I really like my Giro Atmos. I just wish it wasn't silver.

I'm out unfrotunately. Missus has decided to do birthday picnic tomorrow rather then next.

:-(

no worries moth, unfuckingbelievable that you kept pace at all on a three speed!
come on gears next time and i reckon you'll be flying.

+1, chapeau.

"Yay! Cycling!"

I will still be there and raring to go.

Sounds about right, 8:45 at CSG it is. Just you wait til I get my SSTC Kent Hijack in...

I would suggest an 8.30 meetup for an 08.45 departure.

Only 4.5 miles to West Wickham and it's all downhill - we going Anerly Hill > Elmer's End > Eden Park way?
