Bleak Mid Winter CC Ride - London Sat 24th Jan.

[Sittingduck]

A challenging 35 miler but with PLENTY of hills so it'll feel more like 60+ miles in your legs.

I'm not fit as in 'I do 100 miles every week' (or even 50), but I play football and do cycle every day, and am young, and quite fast as it is anyway, so in that respect, yes. On the other hand I've never ridden fast in a group before, so haven't really had anything to compare myself against...

Radius, I think the only part of the ride that will be really fast(hopefully)is the downhill run from Crystal Palace into Brixton.
Otherwise don't worry about fitness etc. this is a ride for all abilities, the only climbs are in parks which can be walked, anyone after punishment or a workout will just have to wait at the top.

Googlemap of ride to follow shortly.

Don't worry, I wasn't I was responding to the question about how fit we all are

A question almost as rude as asking a woman her age.

User3143 you're on the list! It'd be good if you can make it.

 

[Radius]

only for the fatties

Right, here is a rough map of the route!

I like literally 1 minute on a bike away from the Windmill

Sedate pace and cake stops - touring bike it is!

I have been told I am not now doing this ride probably something to do with me going out with the local CTC last Sunday for 8 1/2 hours having said I would be back in 3-4 hours. I was supposed to be digging the allotment in the PM guess what I will be doing all this weekend.

I hope you all have fun, good weather and plenty of cake. See you all in a couple of weeks in the county of the white stileto.

Shhhhh (anyway my damned birthday's in a month and 5 days...)

 

[Sittingduck]

Sorry to hear it Steve.

 

[Radius]

Unlucky Steve btw, what's the list look like now? How much do the tea stops normally cost by the way?

 

[tdr1nka]

Tea in Greenwich and Battersea Parks will be the most expensive on route but all the other cafes under a pound a cup.
