Thanks for starting this thread Helen, I was meant to post this over the weekend but I forgot.

I rode Tehidy last night with Mark and it was very slippery.

address of Alexandra Road is:
Alexandra Road
Illogan
REDRUTH

At the end of Alexandra Road turn right and after 200 yards turn left into the Car Park.

i was going to say it will be muddy/messy after the rain over tha past couple of days!! ( i am a mile from the south entrance)
should be a good ride though! i wont be there as i have no lights abnd wednesday is choir practise for the wife!:(

helen coakley

Tim, i have a set of lights you can borrow, if thats all thats stopping you...let me know H

allthegearnoidea

would need someone to look after the littlun as the wife woudl be out! and i really dont think with my riding its sensible to put her in the trailer and bring her along!!

And it would only make me want to Spend even More money on my bike on a set of lights!!

helen coakley

Hopefully Helen is still up for a long one on the 6th April.

Helen??????

I am up for as many long rides as poss, as I want to train for Newnham too.

Not forgetting Dartmoor on 30th March, a few 30+ milers would be great.

BTW I'm off for a week from tomorrow

I can do the 6th (but sadly not the 5th) April.

Really want to do this!!!!!!

helen coakley

6th of April is good, shall I plan a route around the Truro area? as much of it will be off road as possiable but will have to have some roads...let me know what you think H

Matteeboy

Should be fun.

helen coakley

helen coakley

Helen

Do you fancy arranging a long ride on 13th or 20th April?

Then we'll have plenty of training for Newnham

helen coakley

13th would be ok....have a ride the weekend after...charity event...mtb again or road..think I might be to slow on a road bike for you..too slow on a mtb bike but not quite as bad!!!!
