Hey fellas!

Thanks for the ride yesterday - it was great to go on my first forum ride regardless of any unfortunate events and to meet so many of you. Also, thanks for some of you not giving up on me when I said I couldn't go on anymore - if it wasn't for that energy bar Oliver gave me I really wouldn't have been able to! I think I'll definitely come with a few of those next time, as I wouldn't have had any problems otherwise.

You could try some energy gels if you really want a kick. I don't think I would have been able to finish the Dunwich Dynamo without a couple of those! They taste pretty mingin tho'

I always bring a bunch of different things to eat on longer rides and plenty of fluids (I'm starting to sound like my mum...)

Thanks for another fun ride Oliver, and thanks to Wools for being backstop. It was nice to meet some new people. Illias I hope you get better soon and that the NHS gets your operation sorted asap. I didn't think the ride was too fast, a touch hilly but hills are good for you :)

Props to Ma3K.
Bright Times in London Town.
Highlight for me was burning through Putney with Pickle (i'm a plane) and Jim (You probably don't remember, but the timing of your melons gag at the v.end was comedy gold).
Oh, and being left holding the bike as the whole pack took off (mo-mo...ha!)

• Heal fast Simon J ?
  
  

Thanks for holding my bike. We did a pretty good bit of sprinting to catch up so no big loss. It was Johnny we were waiting on! ;)

I loved the DD. My first time and it couln't have been better.
Perfect weather, perfect company.
Big thumbs up for all in our little group. Cinthia, Momo, The 2 Johns and the 2 Julians and the on and off the group Liz. Thanks boys for thaking care of the girls. I loved riding in such a mixed and lively group. Proves that girls can be strong too.
Average speed 16.1, we made in 7.20hrs, I was running 47/19
Only had a pwerbar bar and leaving the gel for the last 15 miles did the trick. I felt all made of plastic this stuff is awful. I think i may have turned into a barbie.

I am really pleased!
bring on more miles

This was a wicked ride, thanks guys and gals. Shall we aim for a sunrise at the seaside next year? I won't forget the flip flops next year or the suncream – I've got rather pink legs now...

Thanks Clefty and Miss Socks for organising and to our fab traffic stoppers and the peeps who did the spoke card! It was a fun day out. Hope to see some of you on the Dynamo this coming weekend.

This looks like fun, shame it's the same weekend I'll be cycling from Rotterdam to Amsterdam! There's just not enough weekends...

what was you gear momo

I was on 48/20 or 64.8 gear inches. This was pretty much OK, bit spinny at times, might try 48/19 ...

Thanks for a great Day out Oliver, Kier, sorry we had to bail out near the end, I was OK but I couldn't leave Sarah to find her way home on her own. I'm up for the next one tho'

Selle Italia SLK Gel Flow (different to Clefty's etc..). I really like it, quite hard but very comfortable (took me a couple of rides to get used to it) and don't need to wear padded shorts but haven't done very long rides with it yet. I am planning to go to Westies this week, you can have a little ride on it if you want.

I've just bought one of these so fingers crossed it's more comfortable than my charge spoon. I got some of those Assos women's specific cycling shorts and they make things 100% better, but for £125 one would expect them too!

Thanks for a great day out Fresh! Looking forward to the next one :)

Hey girls, Tues was fun! Are people meeting up next week? Maybe with a bit more practice I might get my front wheel more than 2 inches off the ground!

Count me iin Roxy - was cool to meet you at the Tweed Run

Have just bought two tickets for me and Sarah_H, see ya there girls!

Thanks to Ted and co for a great day out. It was my first LFGSS ride (the girl on the pink and purple Eddy Merckx) and I'll be back for the next one!
