I'm heading to France on Saturday as making a leisurely trip down the the Alps for the Marmotte on the 4th July but will be out in a couple of weeks times hopefully. I'm feeling some trepidation about how difficult it will be. Glad all your big rides went well.0

Sounds good Julian. Although, are you not tempted to test yourself on the climb up to Arcalis or the Port d'Envalira on the road bike :?:

It looks like it will be a good turnout with good weather as well 8)
Put me down as a yes as well. Just don't laugh "too" much as i drag my sorry a*se up those hills :oops:
p.s yet another update for the garmin 605. This one WILL erase all your user data :!: :shock: :x0 -
Apologies Dave, gonna have to bail on Sunday now - heading back to Worthing after the Saturday RPCC run to collect a tent and a few other bits and not coming back to London until Sunday now. Sorry dude!London-Red wrote:Okay, well keep me posted - I'll be heading out regardless.
If anyone else fancies popping along, let me know. Nice one.

Bonjour! I won't be around as I will be in Spain tomorrow and saturday, but I have got my good wheel back from the bike shop and I have hatched a hairbrained plan to do the Dartmoor classic on Sunday - 100 miles and 3000 metres of climbing - just like a surrey massacre with myk-ee then. It won't make up for QBH but its a start - reckon I am going to sort out being in italy for the gran fondo giro di lombardia too, oh and maybe a cheeky trip up palomar or diablo in california later in the year. Have a great ride anyway. 0

So shouldn't it be buenos tardes? 8)
Before you get too excited over Lombardia let it be known it's not the Gran Fondo this year but the Medio Fondo - I'd love to still do it but I'll have run out of AL days by then.
Weather now looking a bit pants for Saturday. :evil:
The long grazed legged one0 -
Rich, no bother - my Friday night drink up is now cancelled anyway so I'll probably pop along on Saturday as well.
Saying that, as Emu says - the weather looks pants on Saturday and glorious on Sunday, which is enough to make me change my mind on which day to go. Anyone else?0 -
Sorry Wilf,
Hasta la vista....amigo.0 -

No can do Sundays...my Social Secretary only dictates long rides on Saturdays.
If the weather is crap on Saturday I am doing the 'Mo ride and then head home.0 -
Looks like my drinking plans have switched to Friday now, and with the weather looking the way it is I might end up switching... Hmm, decisions decisions... :roll: :shock:London-Red wrote:Saying that, as Emu says - the weather looks pants on Saturday and glorious on Sunday, which is enough to make me change my mind on which day to go.

'Mo ride??
The forecast on metcheck looks favourable for Saturday.
What do you guys usually do in the event of rain? Go as usual,shorten the route or go lazy and do something else??0 -

We still ride if it's wet - the last RPCC ride I did was a 4hr+ rain-fest! 8) We do usually shorten things a little though, let's face it, it ain't nice riding in the rain!
Not sure what to do now - was thinking of riding Friday and Sunday as I need to head back to Worthing at some point on Sat, but all my plans (and the weather forecasts) keep changing! :roll: :oops: 0 -

Doh!! :oops: :roll:0 -
Com’n men! MTFU, it’s only a little bit of rain and it will still be quite warm.
We can do a wet weather run and avoid some of the muck of the laneways when wet.
I make it:

The Emu
Berns12
London-Red (still to decide on day)

Think some want an 8-8:30 others a 9:30-10. So lets stick with the usual 9am departure time.
Rich, Al don't forget to set your alarms about 10 minutes early It's the vibe of the thing.0 -

London to Worthing by train followed by...
Worthing to London by car (to get the tent here for the Devil Ride ), then...
London to Worthing by car, then...
Meet with Worthing mates to exchange MTB goodies for beer tokens (and visit Parklife, clearly), then...
Worthing to London by train...
Without impacting on Sunday too... :roll:
Still deciding... :?0 -

You want collecting enroute?
Yep I will jump on the train at the usual spot at 8.20? Remember to get up when the alarm goes off this time
Aye I don't think the green and yellow will match my 'Mo bibs
