Calling all riders from Barnet

dugliss

I live quite near Oakhill Park too but I certainly wouldn`t join in a ride with any of you fellas on here, the old lady with the basket rides quicker than me and I can barely make it up Highgate Hill even with gears!!

spasypaddy

how near is quite near, and what do you ride?

Next to the health centre on East Barnet road opposite the Tesco garage. I`ve got a Boardman hybrid that doesn`t get used anywhere near enough

spasypaddy

What sort of time are you there? I go down from the bottom of the hill into the city at 6 in the morning, and then leave the city at 5ish for my journey back...

On a Flight T1, (grey quick hybrid), so if you see me, say hello.

usually leave the office at finchley central between 6 - 6.30pm and am coming down from New Barnet at around 7.30 - 7.45 so probably miss you both ways - I'm on a Silver Dahon Espresso at the moment.

Hmm, I am sometimes around at that time on the way home (if it has been a bad day :-) )so I'll keep an eye open.

There is a guy on a dark red mountain bike who I see occasionally, often pretty quick
Another high vis guy on a different hybrid who I see occasionally
Another one I see on a red and white specialised every now and then.

There is also a guy coming Northbound who I see goign through East Finchley most mornings, we always wave :-)

spasypaddy

because my commute is short and im fast over that distance i see the wednesday morning club run people going out into herts for their 60miles.

i saw a guy at lunch on a cervelo (think it was an R3) with some very nice wheels, and some tubular tyres going out into hertfordshire from finchley central.

was so jealous

richred_uk

When I was coming in through Oakleigh Park station there was a guy on the same train who'd use a Brompton to the Police station and I could never catch him :oops:

Technically we're the same FCN, but in my heart I know we're not really. So I switched to New Barnet to get the extra miles and avoid the shame.
