^ Chris, I'll be riding fixed and I reckon a fair percentage will be. Re. the sunday ride, Bernie did mention something, somewhere about taking the A40 back, so it may not be a particularly scenic ride!

thought this could do with a
bump!

wow! just watched GB women's team pursuit smash 4 seconds of the WR

is it too early to start looking at weather reports?

also, yesterday the missus said "so you're not going to be here when Wendy & John come over for tea on Sunday? I'll be very annoyed if your not here!"
... bit rich really, as John is rarely about if we go over to theirs

These days I virtually never go out on my geared bike so ride fixed the whole year.

My only advice would be to make sure you have mudguards (two of them and preferably full length)

^ ha! just picturing the TdF riders queuing up at the tea hut for a cuppa & bread pudding

^ welcome Chris-by-the-Way

hey well done blue fleet and the rest of you who completed the whole ride.
It was good to join you guys for the rainy bit - Holders Hill to Tesco, then a dry, sunny bit till your crossed the A10 - when i went home

Would be good to see a few pics.
Chappeau to Earthloop for organising/devising/leading
... also was hilarious when blue feet came out saying "hey, who wants some of this (holding a botle of brandy) in their coffee", only to be escorted away by the store detective!

update: 7:15pm and they're in Peckham

don't think I'll have taimefor any more updates - i have to get on with life

update: 6.20pm and they're south of the river at Woolwich.

if anyone's interested, they're waiting for tbe Woolwich ferry

^^ oh there you go Hatty. was expecting to see you when I linked up with them earlier.

5:24pm and the gps signal shows some very erratic manoeuvres!
royal docks rd, barking/beckton

Hmm, matbe, They're only about 10 miles away. will head out now - probably 30 mins away from you

won't be there till about 1:30

@ MerlarSE4
No phone numbers but at the mo they're in Northolt & Greenford Country Park.

@foxjam
where in finchley? i was going to ride through finchley to meet them somewhere earlier on in the route

that's 11:00hrs GMT i presume? seeing as the clocks go back at 2am

They'd need a sun-dial rather than a stopwatch for me, so I may ride over to spectate.

#why

^ good thinking - hope i win the auction

It's not a math problem, tester is suggesting a bit of guttering you put your bike in if the pedals touch the side it's dangerous. Like the boxes at airports they use to check your carry on isn't too large.

agree that it's not a math problem
IT'S A MATHS PROBLEM

think this could do with a new posting. otherwise some poor fellow may miss out and get on their bike.

by the way, I'm bidding for a WWII Sherman tank. If i win I'll be cruising down the A1 using all the lanes at once. Amy even take out that pesky central barrier thing on the slope down to Archway. Here's to 3 gallons-to-a-mile!

@Bernie
maybe we should be listing whether we are doing the "whole two days" or not.
Also, do you want cash forwarded for the room/s
Also, you assume it's a ride out from Tooting or train out from Paddington
Also, where's my drain rods?

^ will bring shot-gun

oops!
just had a look at the map. Hadn't realised it's 25 miles to the start!
