Hello from Slough

[Mr Haematocrit]

Anything going down this weekend? ...might be tempted to have a ride out.
What's the average pace just so I know what wheels to run.

 

[Norm]

The pace was slow, because I was feeling a bit second-hand. I think that we were moving at around 16-17mph on the flat. However, as Defy wrote, there's no pressure and no dropping anyone, we were chatting the whole time, it's about social rather than Strava segments.

I'm up for a ride early Saturday morning. If we are doing similar mileage then i shall bring my newbie neighbour on his carrera tdf.

Saturday @ the ice rink 8am?

 

[mark st1]

Im about if your meeting up im thinking the weather maybe a little poorer than our last ride

 

[Phil_bucks]

evening chaps, is this still going ahead saturday? or is it weather dependant?

 

[defy-one]

Mark - is it rain on Saturday?
I was looking on my phone and Saturday looked good.
Is Sunday any better - just thinking a group ride isn't much fun in therain, and the cake will get soggy eh Norm?? ;-

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Saturday is looking sunny according to the BBC.

Your both right sorry my brain is elsewhere this week (work is manic) i was looking at the next 24 hours not the next 7 days looking foward to a nice sunny ride Saturday and some non soggy cake

Did we agree 8 @ ice rink ??

 

[Phil_bucks]

I was considering cycling down from beaconsfield, but I dont fancy adding 20 miles onto the ride

 

[mark st1]

be warned if you drive with the car in the boot free parking is sparse in Slough u will have a ticket slapped on you before u can clip in to your pedals either that or on your return your wheels would have been replaced by some lovely looking bricks by the local ragger muffins

 

[Phil_bucks]

haha really? oh dear, thats me out then I guess, I cant turn a 25 miler into a 50 miler

 

[mark st1]

Nah dont rule it out mate im sure the ice rink car park is pay and display will try n find out on there website

 

[mark st1]

The website says free parking but thats probably for users of the rink no idea how they police that though so i would of thought that would be fine up to you mate

 

[Phil_bucks]

just tried to call and ask, no reply I'll find something if its looking iffy, its not my motor anyway

 

[mark st1]

Thats ok then not your motor not your problem im sure it will be cool so i wouldnt worry bout it
