    Lucy & Steve - glad you both enjoyed it! You're both more than welcome to come along again (Lucy, it really wasn't a problem keeping you company and my legs were thankful for it after 90 miles, and Steve, yes it will be a PB for you if you come with us again and do Box Hill, but make sure you get your tea order in with Al at the bottom! :wink: )

    Al - Jealous you got out again today, good work! I was hoping to, but didn't get up early enough to meet with the few Wheelers who were heading out to Dunsfold, and then couldn't get motivated... ended up going to watch the Quins game then having a curry so feeling guilty now! :roll:

    I must admit I made a passing comment to someone about your eagerness as you flew past us just outside of cobham :lol: , but atleast you managed to stay upright going up winterfolds :oops:

    A fantastic admission Wilf!

    Yeah I was still averaging around 30 on the flat all the way home which I was happy with but every mole hill felt like a mountain - something I clearly have to work on for Fray Bentos :roll:

    Well never a dull moment when I'm out on the road - am thinking I'll trade my Wilier in for a uni-cycle with a honking horn. Embarassed
    Was kinda funny being behind you when you went down, not that I laughed too much :lol: main thing is that was do damage to you or the bike.

    I felt as though I was the one doing the intervals after having to chase down a few of the breakaways so we all took the right turnings. Think next time there might have to be a few of us who know the route. That was knackering.


    Also realised that the hill we went over on the way back was the Whitedowns Hill. I like that hill, always harder than it should be as its on the way home..
    It's the vibe of the thing.

    Yeah we have done that one a couple of times, but I think the main group left it out on this ride as they were further West. I did it on Saturday trying to catch up with them - and I agree it has an annoying gradient which is too steep to hoon, but too shallow to need to grind.

    1)Planet X SL Pro carbon
    2)Nelson Pista Singlespeed
    3)Giant Cadex MTB
    4)BeOne Karma MTB

    Hi all

    This is a bit off topic but I reckon I could do with a bike fitting to try and help get rid of some of the aches and pains I get on my road bike.

    Can anyone suggest a good bike fitting place that won't charge me a fortune for helping me.

    Thanks
    Grant

    I've had Sigma Sport recommended to me before, haven't used them yet though - think they're around the £40 mark?

    Yeah I went to Sigma, cost me I think £30 at the time (was 18 months ago) although I only got a fitting, not actually fitted on a bike.

    If you have plenty of cashola can always try this mob in Covent Gardens, I've walked past them a few times and it looks more like an exclusive club - http://www.cyclefit.co.uk/prices.html
