Yeh I'm out this saturday, COME ON GUYS, you know you want to make it out for the RPCC ride
And yeh I'm also not too bad at finding my way around, so no worries.
Any lurkers/people on the fence about coming along, please come along, you'll enjoy it 0 -
Gutted, my completely rubbish work has booked me for a 9am lesson on sat :x so once again my attemp to actually do some form of distance has been completelyfoiled - even worse they've done it for next week as well! so unless anyone is out on sunday for the next few weeks it'll be a while untill I get to venture out of the park
Hope you all have a fab ride and if the cycling gods eventually decide to give me a break hopefully I will be able to join you all before the end of the month!!

All is not lost cc10 - I tend to ride Sat & Sun these days (as does Chris, and a few others have threatened to as well) so I'm sure we can sort something for next weekend and / or the weekend after 0 -
That would be fab, I'll keep an eye out, I am determined to get there eventually!!!0

If it is ok with all I'll join in the same place as last week (Hampton Court bridge, Kingston side) as I have a new rear wheel to put on before I go out so the extra time will be useful.
I don't know if ChrisW plans to do this as well but there is no need to pull in, now I recognise some of you I'll just fall in as you ride by
See you in the morning!0 -

Ugh, what a ride!
Some insane box hill times posted by Mr. Vandelay (who claimed he wasn't going for a PB at the bottom of the climb :shock: ) , Tom, and Mark. Well done guys, very impressive! Kicked my ass all the way up, I was really feeling it all the way to Box Hill but felt a bit better on the way home, typical :roll:
I did try to lead you guys down a slightly quieter route back to hampton court, but you all said bye instead Sorry about that.
Hope you all got back okay, especially Drew, sorry if we weren't gentle enough, you were looking good up until just before box hill. Hope you can make it out again, the more you do it the easier it will become (unless you sit on ya arse and eat crap through the week like me).0 -
Come on then - what were these insane Boxhill times?! :shock:
Who made it out in the end?
I've had a dreadful day back here in Sussex... 0 -
6:44 I believe for Senor Vandelay. Just a few seconds behind (2-4 seconds I think?) for Tom, and 7:06 (?) for Mark. I was too knackered to really pay attention at the top :oops:
If it wasn't for Mark's brilliant pull up BH I probably would have given up, did you guys hear me moaning?! Gosh I must have been sooo annoying haha.
In the end it was the guys above, me, mykee, drewfromrisca.
Damn you Rich, eating posh choccy cake! 0 -
Thanks guys, I thoroughly enjoyed that. Sorry if I was a bit enthusiastic, I know that if I hadn't been on a bike for a winter I wouldn't be making it round the route so chapeau and nice to meet you Drew.
Pleased with my box hill time but as I could only manage 7.20 something in the week I suspect a whole lot of that was down to Mark's pull.
Now to sink deep in the the post-ride zombie state Mark, I only have a Mac to hand so I'm not sure I can install TP but I'd love to have a look at some power data if you have time to post some images 8) 8) 0 -
Cheers for the ride folks. I enjoyed it immensely. Felt good to get back out onto that road. Thanks for all your help on the hills and waiting for me. It was good to put faces to names as well. I'll certainly be perservering and making it a habit. Hopefully I'll see you next week...if my legs ever work again and more of my discs haven't disappeared!!!There is never redemption, any fool can regret yesterday...

Hey Drew - glad you enjoyed the ride. Impressive performance for someone who hasn't been out on the tarmac proper for that amount of time. Liking the personalised Spesh as well.
82.5 miles for me door to door - Great ride. My Box Hill time was a bit unexpected More time to shave off there as well I reckon.
Phips - you're getting impressively quick on those sprints.
I'm off to watch the Scotland game down the pub - I hope they have comfy sofas to sink in.0 -
