Northampton ride to London Saturday 24th March

[Aperitif]

My fly enhances the look of my bike like an ear ring on a pretty person.

I'm sure your fly has done its fair share of enhancing in its brief career to date.

I also haven't forgotten that I murmured something about a ride out from Guildford. I have a route from a colleague, but no date in mind yet. Surrey's roads are very nearly as bad as Buckinghamshire's.

Also, if anyone fancies forgoing the joys of Southend-on-Sea, we'll probably be doing a three-day tour taking in the Isle of Wight randonée, again starting from Guildford on 5th May.

Excellent plan - I considered this. Decided instead on FNRttC, SMRbtH (!) then the Veteran Commercial Vehicles run on the Sunday. I make that 60-65 miles/day, 3 days running.

And still give me Monday to 'recover'.

I'm going to throw my hat into the ring here and offer one as well.

Put me down for this as well please Charlie, but as I work Saturdays 'till lunchtime I'll have to do the same and meet you en-route

So I've got Charlie's on 19 May and Adam's on 26 and/or 27 May all pencilled into the diary -- time to start new threads?

Indeed. T'will be done in the next day or two once I've tweaked the route and put it on a suitable site (recommendations, anyone?). I've used mapometer in the past, but I'm sure there are more universally friendly ones out there.

Ditto!

Unfortunately, I can't do this one as I'm not in the country this weekend. Which other training rides are being planned?

Haven't planned anything else. Running out of free days unfortunately. Might look at something for the weekend after next.

 

[srw]

I'd forgotten about Charlie's offer. Is it still on?

We'll probably be looking for a ride on Saturday. I've got Friday off, and we're planning to take the heavy tandem out then, and the light one on Saturday.

 

[CharlieB]

Mea culpa, TMN, SRW and others.

I was hoping for the new wheels in time to get a reccy done in good time and organise this. Unfortunately it didn't happen.

 

[srw]

No worries. And I realise I never got around to organising either the second instalment of Bucks Big Houses or the promised Guildford ride. And it is a bit late now...

Subject to a successful tryout with the touring tandem and a new stoker saddle on Friday we'll be doing something on Saturday on the titanium marvel.
