Ok folks, apologies for the late thread! :roll: 
To put it simply, you're on your own this week! Most of the RPCC core are away riding the Devil Ride this weekend (Art Vandelay, The Emu, Myk-ee, Felgen & myself) with Phips and Berns12 also out of action on other duties I believe, so there won't be a ride heading out from Richmond Gate unless you plan it yourselves! :shock:
I'm sure you're more than capable though, so please feel free to continue the legacy in our absence and tell us all about it too! Would be good to know the rides are carrying on without us and hopefully a few of you regulars can get something organised amongst yourselves
8)
So, until next week...

Good luck to you guys doing the devils. Enjoy the sun in provence.
As it stands I want to be home in time for Le Tour so plan to be on the 7.33 from Waterloo to Clandon on Saturday,then hit coombe,ranmore,box hill then back to RP then home.
However I would be open to an 8am 90km easy pace ride from Richmond Gate. Again after coombe I would want to hang left and go direct to Ranmore. We could always split if others want to do a winterfold loop/leith hill and try to meet at top of Box?
Let us know?0 -

Hi all - may be up for an early Saturday morning trip up Box HIll. Would have to be back by midday, though, so it would have to be a shorter ride (Hungry Hill, Ranmore, Box, cake, home :-)
Let me know if anyone's interested...0 -
By the way, good luck to all you grinders this weekend!0

I wouldn't say that in front of Stephen Fry :shock:0 -
Yeah, perhaps I'll give that a miss!
Fancy a run out Saturday am then? As I say, pretty short and sharp, but none the worse for it...0 -

I'm in. Early start (8am)? Or not really?
An early finish sounds good to me to...0 -
For me it would have to be an 8am start or by myself.
Can you 2 remember to way from RP to the bottom of staple lane/coombe lane? I have Coombe Lane onwards on my Garmin but not the first part :shock:
Weather looks pretty wet so at Box just a quickie to empty and refill?
If on way back from Box you guys want to speed on ahead then just say
Any other lurkers wanting to tag along?0 -
I would like to join but my colleague is away on holiday so I'm covering him this weekend. I need to see if spending a week at altitude will have any effect on my riding :-)

Sorry, racing in Cardiff this weekend.....Have fun though!0

i could well be up for this (RPCC newbie) although an 8am start would be painful (living in crouch end as i do...)point your handlebars towards the heavens and sweat like you're in hell0

Thats not too far. I have a fair old trek as well :twisted:0

I'm in.

Where's that? I do remember the routes we usually to get out and to RP, but have no idea of the names...0

Good stuff. 95% certain to be there. Looking forward to it!0

Good stuff today chaps. I recorded a 54-miler at an average speed of 17.6mph which was pretty good going.
Shorter one than usual, with a sharp left straight after the first hill (Hungry Hill?) taking us down to the short, steep pull up on to Ranmore before Box Hill. Timed Box Hill at 7.35 - an infuriating 2 seconds outside the PB :x
And, back by 11.30 - which even kept the wife happy 0 -
I second that a Great ride.
I averaged 27.04 kph for the entire ride which is about 1kph more than my normal RPCC average.
Managed Box in 9.12 which is 8 seconds over my best effort last Sunday but with over 60km in the legs already I am very happy with that. In fact I am finding these hills a little easier now. Maybe if i can get under 7.30 I can treat myself to a set of carbon wheels that I have my eye on ;-)
Although I must invest in a new bottle after it decided to do a Menchov and hit the deck when taking a corner :-)0 -
Good work guys - I was only just out of bed by the time you got back!
Hope the water bottle was the only damage in the fall0 -

Thankfully i didn't fall, just the bottle decided to eject itself from my bike.
Although i did go cross country when going around that sharp right hand bend when going down Ranmore Common road :oops: :shock:0 -
