CC Mini Hilly South london interim ride.

[ianrauk]

okey doke...was just a thought

I rode up and down yesterday and fail to see the problem, I was thinking as Idid it that there is very little traffic on that rd!

It's a lovely little hill, very steep, like Sydenham hill and quite short, however if you would prefer to go up the longer hill on the main rd, then that's fine with me, we can all meet at the Partridge!

I could race you to the beer and pies!
Am I bovvered?

 

[DJ]

May I be so bold as to suggest the Partridge Pub in Bromley for your needs

Has a very small walled garden at the side were you can lock the bikes up.

Hi TC if you have a look at the link above it will show you where it is and the post code.

We'll save you a pie if you like!

Yes of course it is, just come along, no problem, I gather you have gleaned the start time/meeting place etc from all the blurb in this thread!

Oh "H" you just beat me to it, obviously I would rather go and help Sig!!!!!!!

 

[Davywalnuts]

Hi DJ, thanks!

Yes, all read and all aux faix with it!

Love hills so looking forward to it!

However, the new wheel is now going to be here monday, annoyingly!! Least my braking power downhill on new rims will be good!

Peloton's getting ever larger!

 

[Auntie Helen]

Who's going to be in charge of the Broom Van?

Yes it is Radius! It's good to have a couple of people on board who I don't think have been on a cycle chat ride before, correct me if I am wrong.

I am concerned that the group sticks together and that no one feels left behind or forgotten, so I have thought of some simple ideas to keep the group together, nothing to be alarmed about I will just run them by everyone at the start.

Also I have contacted, the Herne Hill velodrome, to check it is ok to bring the group in, I also rather cheekily asked if we could have a go on the track, I am not really expecting the answer to be yes to the last question, but I thought I would try my luck!

I will make sure everyone coming is PM'd with my number on Monday incase they are running late have problems etc.

See ya!!!!!

dj, I can bring the walkie talkies if this helps (for ride leader and back marker). They can be useful but will only work up to 1.5 miles apart... so we couldn't get THAT spread out!

 

[DJ]

Thanks for the offer Helen, we have our phones, I think we will stick to that. We just have to ride as a group that's all, I am as guilty as anyone for haring off and losing people, so I think it's just requires a slightly different mentality to ride as a group.

The main thing is that everyone enjoys themselves.

Weather forecast looking good - 9 degrees and sunshine. Positively tropical!
