Good luck!

See you in the morning.

Well done Becs - enjoy it. I have double booked myself so can't do tomorrow but look I forward to the next one.

Despite being someone who hates both hills and early mornings that was bloody good fun! We should definitely keep this going! Didn't walk on any hills and got up Swains twice, albeit with a bit of zigzaging! Maybe next time we should extend it northwards so that it finishes just as the Spaniards/Holly bush/other nice pub in Hampstead opens!?!

You'll be doing this on your road bike soon enough.

I quite like the idea of a late-start Sunday London Ride: lap of Regent's park, past Lord's, up Fitzjohn's into Hampstead and straight to the Spaniards. Or perhaps that should be called Sunday Ride to the Pub.

Hey Andrij, if you start later and finish for lunch / drink at the pub you can count me in! Let me know if you arrange. I'm away this weekend but next weekend might work.......... Jem

Jem,

This Saturday morning I shall be re-hydrating on the beach at Bognor, and therefore spending Sunday recovering.

A late start / pub lunch ride will probably feature as a Sunday London ride some time in the near future. Keep an eye on that thread, but I'll probably put a pointer here as well once we decide when.

Great, ok. Do put a pointer on as I'm still working out how best to navigate this site!

*bump*

I'll be doing this route (see first post) tomorrow morning.

In light of the Bank Holiday, I propose a new, later start time of 07:00. Meet at Gloucester Gate, Regent's Park. Post here or send me a PM if you intend to come along.

Swains lane was closed earlier in the week, gas pipe repair up by Bisham Gardens. Half hearted signage at the junction with Chester Road, more determined one by the cemetery. You'll probably get through though.

Thanks for the warning.

ill be there.


Swains was clear last night. So no excuses =)

Maybe not my duvet wouldn't let me wake up...

 

[Andrij]

Perhaps for the best - I've called it quits half way through. I've never been quick up hills, but today I was painfully slow from the start. I'm now drowning my sorrows in cappuccino accompanied by a chocolate twist at Forks & Corks. Hope to do better next Sunday.

This Sunday, 11/09, I'll be introducing the new bike to London's lumpy bits. If anyone wants to join in, meet at 07:00, Gloucester Gate, Regent's Park. Please PM me with your mobile phone number if you plan to join in the fun.
