February's ride for food

[stevevw]

Who's going to bring the spare wheels?

I have a spare tyre he can have

 

[Tynan]

it was a very unsafe verge

anyway, I don't go to sleep in the daytime anything like as much as the night time

and only two falls on three DDs and on only one of those two falls did I need mechanical spares

 

[frank9755]

it was a very unsafe verge

...only if you cycled into it!

 

[Tynan]

fell into it would be more accurate, no marking, just the tarmac stopping at the edge of a six inch trench a few inchs wide before the grassy stuff started

it all happened very suddenly once I admittedly drifted a little bit too close to the edge

Shortly. Got this week off so was going to work on the final details today/tomorrow (after I've fixed the bike after running into a ped). Weather is looking passable though. Very scattered light showers and about 8 degrees with a gusty side wind.

Having decided to take a nice lazy weekend with no cycling at all for a change, I have now caught a very slight cold

I'm trying to beat it into submission with Lemsip and Nurofen before the end of the week and hopefully it won't get any worse.

 

[StuAff]

Still in. I'm going to go for the 5am train up to Victoria (gets in 6.57)- should I miss that, the next one gets into Waterloo 7.32 (I may just know the way to HPC from there).
What sort of time are we likely to get back into the smoke? Trains via Victoria are the better option for me this weekend. There is engineering work on the Waterloo-Guildford line, usually much the better bet for time, so journey times are barely quicker on that one, but there's only one Victoria train an hour (1702 etc up to 2002, then last train- !!-2142).

 

[Tynan]

75 miles yesterday but the week off this week for half term so as certain as I can be, the average speed for that 75 miles was10.4 mph so it'll be nice to go a bit quicker

the back wheel isn;t going to be that round and has a huge ding courtest of Essex roads but it'll have to do, front brakes only

 

[zigzag]

i'm still in, bruised and limping after yesterday's spill, but hopefully will be fine by saturday.

[QUOTE 1308028"]
I have a pass for the day And I have a pass for the pub in the evening, for the rugby.

If I turn up depends on how my mind and body feels Friday night/Saturday morning.

I'm flying back from Aberdeen, landing at Heathrow at 10pm. Then about an hour or so to get home from there.

But I've never been to Cambridge, so do want to come. At this point I'm a yes.

Me and hopefully 3 others will be heading south to meet you on the route, we will leave Herts approx the same time as you leave HPC.

 

[Tynan]

how exciting!

having barely mastered my new low end extrex gps, will it be capable of knowing what a warning point is?

7.30am from HPC? ffs, that's a 6.30 eta from mine, gawd

The warning point will be all of us shouting at you that you've missed the turning

We don't all live next HPC corner you know. It'll be a 6.45 start for me, and I'll have to go all the way back to HPC at the end.
