Hoping to do the run in an hour and then another hour for the rest

spasypaddy · May 2007

I'm in Watford and wouldn't mind someone to cycle with, especially for longer weekend rides.

I have a bike; she's called Fran. I enjoy her company.

I'm in Manor House and always looking for something to distract me from whatever I should be doing...

pauluscp · May 2007

I live in Barnet and always looking for other people to ride with. There are a couple of others who live nearby as well.

So many roads, so little time!!!

Looks like we could have the start of a chain gang. I work quite a few weekends, but if anyone fancies a ride out one I have quite few routes starting from Barnet of varying distances from 10+ miles. you may have to take pot luck if I am working or not though.

Iv'e got various routes from 10-50 miles. I don't go fast these days, but an average of about 15-20mph is about my limit.

Hi Paulus,

If you are averaging 20 mph over 50 miles and not describing that as fast in beginners I wouldn't want to try keeping up with you when you are really hammering it! [;)]

pauluscp · May 2007

There is a club that starts from the odeon, they are called London St. Christophers. I belong to them and ride out with them, but normally there is only two or three of us who turn up. I think the club is about to go belly up. Whenever you fancy a spin out contact me, my details are in my profile.
