    Must have just missed you. Was there at 9.50am but no sign of anyone lurking with a planet-x or cervelo so did 3 laps instead. 59.40 today.

    Humm,not sure what happened there then, as Dan and I were hanging around by Richmond gate waiting for Rich and WIlf to turn up. We were there at 9.46 and waited until 10.05.

    Anyway was a good ride, though we weren't quite sure at a couple of turns which way to go... certainly a nice ride though. Hopefully we can make it a more regular thing....

    Thanks to Rich for instigating, and to Wilf (Emu) for Navigating!

    So how did you guys find the hills. I would imagine the 10%er after mostly flat riding was a slight shock to the system.

    It looked at one point as if it were going to chuck it down, did you stay dry?

    Roll on the next one, I will try and be healthy for that.

    The 10% hill was a bit of a grind... The weather was not too bad though it never got properly sunny and it was windy at times, it stayed dry for the whole time.

    Anyway, as for stats, I made it 53.4 miles in 3 hours 45 minutes.

    Hope you feel better next time Jackal, and I hope we can get a few more out next time.

    Speaking of which, when is next time?

    Think I've got an explanation, I was at Roehampton Gate - force of habit :twisted:

    Bugger, assuming you went anti clockwise you would have ridden straight past us.

    Thats avg speed of just under 25km/hr :shock: - I actually thought we travelled a bit faster than that as an avg although wind seemed to be into us almost all day and getting in/out of the city was slow going.

    Sadly with all the problems I was having today with navigation I must have stopped and not re-started my ride as I only have the first 45kmh stored. Dooh!

    Thanks guys was a great day, I need to do a few more of those as my fitness has a lot to be desired. Turning right and going up the hill at the bottom of RP at the end was a bad call by my part. :oops:

    I'm def up for future rides.

    Well we did average 16.7mph after Box Hill, which is more respectable and if you look at the route, we did take a minor detour in Leatherhead, which looks like we took a hard right, rather than an easy right...

    No, that was good, it was nice to ride on slightly calmed roads to finish off

    Yeah we must organise another one soon. I know Rich is busy, but I am free, and if Art and The Jackal are up for it that makes 4... ;)

    I checked out the map when i got home - garmin lost the plot a bit early on, but there was also a few dodgy mappings made by yours truly which led to confusion (ie unnecessary check points doubling back on themselves) :oops:

    I've ironed out the creases, and if you like I can email everyone the gbx file.

    Sorry for the late reply chaps - not been getting the emails to tell me there were replies for some reason :roll:

    Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday and certainly plan to do it again, although as mentioned above I am pretty busy with weddings, mtb-ing and a holiday over the coming weeks! :roll: :lol:

    My next free weekend is 22nd / 23rd Nov and I'll certainly post something up nearer the time. Don't wait for me though guys - get a few in between now and then and maybe there'll be some more regulars out by then! 8)

    Mob no. on the way to Felgen & Emu for night rides in the meantime - will still be planning to do most Tues & Thurs for the rest of the year despite not being around at the weekends :D

    Unfortunately for me weekends off are a rare commodity in my job so I am not too sure how many rides I will be able to make. I am however off this weekend so if anyone fancies a ride, park or further afield, then let me know.

    After that I can make the 15 +16th of November and poss the 22nd but it would have to be the morning.
