Tim, if there's space for another rider, may I join this ride please? Email on its way.
I guess Tim asked for a new email, rather than a PM. Having organised similar rides, I know why - it's a nightmare keeping abreast of incoming messages on different channels.I wrote a pm and thought i was in on 27th may; yet dont appear on the list....
not as bob c anyway
is all ok or are recumbents a step too far?
I intend to do it on a recumbent. I mean, I could use an upwrong if people insist, but it'll only slow things down with all the whinging...is all ok or are recumbents a step too far?
Many rides are 'bentable... a few forumites have done the IOW Randonnee, And the Island's really, really not flat.I intend to do it on a recumbent. I mean, I could use an upwrong if people insist, but it'll only slow things down with all the whinging...
It's an eminently 'bentable ride. Plenty of flat stuff (for a non-Londoner's definition of 'flat').
And think how fast you'll be able to go, if we do the Shooters Hill option!I intend to do it on a recumbent. I mean, I could use an upwrong if people insist, but it'll only slow things down with all the whinging...

Oh yeah!!! We've got to do the Shooters Hill option!!!And think how fast you'll be able to go, if we do the Shooters Hill option!
Probably not. It goes too near to your house and the temptation may be too muchOh yeah!!! We've got to do the Shooters Hill option!!!
high on risk, low on inclusiveness. We used to do Watling Street on the way to Southend, but once we got to about 30 strong it just became too darn frightening. And people on heavy bikes or recumbents (including Andy Gates, who is a tough item) found it really hard going, so the faster riders were hanging about for 20 minutes on the outskirts of Dartford.Oh yeah!!!

Strangely enough I was thinking about the risks this morning. On my commute home, I'll often hit 40mph down there and was thinking if this was an FNRttC I'd probably be on my brakes the whole way down. Oh well, just have to go and see the animals in the Woolwich Zoo insteadhigh on risk, low on inclusiveness
