Out of sheer laziness, this is a cut and paste job from Will's thread from last week...
Another weekend, another RPCC ride... usual rules would apply:
Anyone is welcome to attend
Will average somewhere between 16-18 mph
No one gets dropped and we'll regroup at the top of hills
Tea and cake stop - probably at the top of Box Hill
I can do either Saturday or Sunday, but am likely to be a hungover mess on Sunday...
In terms of route I'd be interested in something like last weekend - 65 miles / 110 km and 4 or 5 decent climbs
What are other people's plans / preferences?

Thanks for getting this going Dave. Count me in. Can do either Saturday or Sunday and something similar to last weekend would be good0
-
Cool, Saturday best for me otherwise I'd be, um, "out of condition" ...
Either way i'll make it out though0 -
Saturday is best for me too.
Where do you meet and what time?0 -
Meeting place is just inside Richmond Gate, on the right hand side as you come into the park.
Saturday sounds good. 8am would be best for me.0 -
Agree on 8 am -seems to be the normal meeting time these days...0
-
Looks like we're in for a warm one tomorrow0
-
It's about bloody time as well...
Looking forward to it. 8am at the usual place. Has everyone packed their EPO??? I'm only going to be on the human growth hormone this w/e. Need a break from the hard stuff.0 -

See you at 8 tomorrow.
I have a bit of the man-flu still, was worse off this week. I don't think I will make the full route which is a shame. I might end up saying adios at the top of Coombe and head down do the dreaded Crocknorth, Ranmore and Box Hill.0 -
Didn't see your name in the Landis letter Dave...
I cover my tracks well. Transfusions are a piece of cake nowadays and I always down a litre of water after a 3 lap challenge attempt.0 -
See you tomorrow at 8am.

Good to see everyone out today. Gorgeous weather and really pleased to get a new best for this year up Box Hilll
Also managed to hit 49 mph going from Coldharbour down to Dorking :shock:0 -
A great first ride for me. I really enjoyed it and pushed myself more than I would have if I'd been doing it on my own. Loved bombing along through the roundabouts.0
-
Yep, another cracking ride. Good work all and good to meet you Johnny.0
-
Excellent ride and great company as usual. I love the route we did that takes us down into Peaselake and then back up and out again. Wouldn't mind doing the Ranmore Hill add-on at some point.
Thought about doing a few laps of RP this afternoon but the sunshine, a few pints of Honeydew/Summer Lightning/Oxford Gold and a BBQ is getting the better of me.0 -
Will, finally made out to Oxford yesterday, phaenomenal ride...loved the back roads that lead you through the countryside. thanks again for the route....in case you have similar rides you can recommend I am all ear0

Thanks for the ride up to Coombe on Saturday. I ended up seeing a bunch of guys from Kingston Wheelers I met a few weeks ago at the top of the mighty Crocknorth. We ended up putting the hammer down through the roundabouts so had a good run home. So what looked like to be an ITT back to Richmond Park ended up being a group ride.
Who is around this long weekend? I am up for a ride Saturday and Monday.0 -
Roland - glad you liked the route - reckon cycling anywhere over the weekend would have been nice with the weather and all. Got a few nice routes - in terms of heading out of London the best are heading to the south coast. Also got an OK one for Cambridge - lovely once you are out of town but just a bit too much time spent trekking through suburbs to be great. Anyway if any of those take your fancy drop me a pm.
Bern - up for both Saturday and Monday. Have a mate over from Paris with his bike so he'll be the determining factor on Saturday. He's not been on the bike much this year so might not be up for a big one then. He heads back Sunday (no bank holiday in France) so can definitely do something on Monday - perhaps down to the south coast.
Guess I'll start a new thread...
