Iam Free that day are recumbents welcome depending on the weather of course

 

[totallyfixed]

Absolutely!! the bigger the mix the better, no one gets dropped or is made to feel they are slow, simply not the point of these rides. I know you have done a 'bent ride at the water before, in fact we nearly popped along to say hello but were out riding elsewhere.

 

[batesy16]

Hi there. Hopefully I will be able to make it as really enjoyed the last one.

 

[Angel-Diva]

Hi, count me in please

 

[totallyfixed]

Counted, and welcome. If you don't know the area well you are in for a treat.

I've posted this on 2 other threads but worth letting those who are riding with me or live close, Icebreaker Merino base layers going for £10 at Cavells on South St, loads of other stuff too. They are open 10am-8pm tomorrow, 9.30-6 Sat and 10-4 on Sun.

I'm free that day and so am up for it. Not ridden with a group before, so this will be a new experience. Also I'm not used to really big miles, so I'll drive there and back, else it may be a step too far. Any suggestions for the best place to park for free in Oakham?

 

[totallyfixed]

Usually plenty of places in and around the station, welcome on board, good to have another new face.

As long as I'm ok with an average of ~12 mph on my bent trike, then add me to the list please.

Hopefully I'll get the gears tweaked a bit this week so I may be slightly faster.

There are a few hills, but if I can rock up them easily enough on a 75" fixed then I should think the 'bents will be ok, in any case the boot will be on the other foot as I eat your dust on the downhills.
Did I mention that the ride goes ahead unless the forecast is monsoon rain, gale force winds or ice.

 

[Tompy]

I'm tentative at the moment. Felt dreadful on Saturday's club run so will see how I get on this week.

At roughly what time do you expect to finish?

 

[Angel-Diva]

Phew...I've not ridden with a group before either Orange and also not used to big miles so will be a new experience for us both and glad I'm not the only one! Also I only average about 12mph as well and get scared going down big hills but I make up for it all with enthusiasm :-)

 

[totallyfixed]

I would hope to be back by around 3 but the best laid plans and all that, puncture fairy, mechanicals long cake stop. Better bring lights.

Looking forward to it - just hope the Post Office find my new front light that was posted out from Wiggle last Wednesday!
