Right, who's up for a ride this weekend?

Tyskie and I have tentatively pencilled in a CCC (Capital-Coast-Capital) ride for Saturday and I may be up for a shorter spin on Sunday too (possibly...).

Plan for Saturday would be...

:arrow: Meet 8 am at Richmond Gate by the white building on the left if you're leaving the park
:arrow: 120 mile / 200km ride to Worthing and back
:arrow: 16-18 mph average - 20+ mph on the flat
:arrow: We'll wait at the top of hills to regroup
:arrow: A café stop in Worthing (no overdoing the paninis this time) and at the top of Box Hill

    Hey, CCC is probably out of the question for me but might be able to pop out for either the first part of it or on the Sunday for the recovery ride...

    Anyone around tomorrow pm for a couple of laps?

    I'll be around this weekend and up for the CCC ride if that's what's happening. Will limit myself to just a piece of the Guinness chocolate cake this time though.

    The place tends to be a notch lower for these and no compulsion to do the whole thing - join us for the ride to Shere if you like

    I'm now on swimming pool duty tomorrow guys, so won't be making it out.

    Enjoy. I was at the seaside today. The water's nice and warm.

    Superb route, great company and stunning weather. My cycling tan has come on great today. Average moving speed of 17mph over 123 miles! Cheers lads, especially Will for leading the way.

  • Yeah, great ride really enjoyed it apart from when I tried to follow Mark up the hill. Could be interested in oding another CCC in September i there are othe takers. Maybe vary the route and go somewhere else on the coast?

    And thinking about RP laps one evening this week if others fancy it
