You mean C to C to C, right?!J09 wrote:When is the next C to C?
I'm half-tempted to do another CCC in a couple of weeks time on Sat 6th of June, but we've got the Smithfield Nocturne that day so it might not be wise :?
Failing that, for me it'll probably be early July now as I have too much on (and the Dave Lloyd Mega Challenge to prep for & recover from) in the meantime! 0 -
251.7km for me. My legs are cooked today. That is definitely the last CCC before the Fray Bentos.
Enjoyed the recovery pints of San Mig 8)0 -
Thats some serious mileage! Well done all!0

Well done all!
Not All!
I was in some sort of mental funk that I couldn't dig myself out of so caught the train of shame home from Worthing and only rode around 140Ks.
Highlight for me was the climb just before Brighton. :twisted:
The long grazed legged one0 -
Ah Wilf, no shame in 140kms! I havent done a decent long ride for a couple of months. The last one being the Surrey ride with Myk-ee where we tried to find every hill in the North Downs. I spoke to the missus about doing this (C-C-C) as a solo effort, meeting her on the South Coast for food and then riding back. Hopefully I can manage this sometime this month, but still want to do an RP 3 lapper and a few BH attempts0

It was a good ride down, although I struggled a bit on the climbs. Ditchling Beacon was nasty, and I was glad to get to the top without stopping :-)
Thanks to Rich, Wilf and Bernard for pacing me back to the main group on several occasions :-)
Went out again on Sunday in Welwyn with a mate and rode another 45 miles, so my total for the weekend was 135 miles.
Hoping to get out with you guys again in a fortnight...2010 Lynskey R230

Well done to all. I'm very jealous. That's a serious average, particuarly bearing in mind >2000m of climbing.
I only had time for some early laps of RP and saw you congregating....Rich-Ti wrote:Failing that, for me it'll probably be early July now as I have too much on (and the Dave Lloyd Mega Challenge to prep for & recover from) in the meantime!
Wishing some of you all the best with the bonebreaker. We've finally booked something for around that time - a week in Scotland with a hire car, the bike and some walkie-talkies!
So who's doing the ridiculously masochistic Dave Lloyd full course?0 -
Thanks Nick - it was quite pacy at times, even chugging along at 30kph coming back through Oxshott!RedGreenBaron wrote:Well done to all. I'm very jealous. That's a serious average, particuarly bearing in mind >2000m of climbing.

It's myself, Drill Sgt Myk-ee & Mal (a mate of Phips') doing the full monty Dave Lloyd - I'm dreading it but it'll be am experience!0 -

Sounds like you boys had a good day out, sad i missed it. Unfortunately no carbon goodness was purchased in Italy, so will have to stick to alu...
Rich - the Dave Lloyd is only 4 weeks away! I had a moment of realisation - its not fear that will get you out training, its pride!! Really looking forward to the DL :shock: :twisted: It's the vibe of the thing.0
