It was a pleasure to ride with you all - wind and hills, parakeets and jackdaws...you could almost pretend you weren't in London! I must get back into my epic ride reports - this time off the bike has meant I've gotten lazy with write ups!

About 30ish miles for me and Martin, fed, watered and cozy at home.
We're missing a sillicone cupcake wrap- did anyone hold onto it?

Martin says:

"Was lovely to meet you all and come out on the ride, hope to come out on another one and thanks Dave for the tea - my turn next time"

I can't take the credit for this one Mick- it was User who came up with this.
More in the pipeline as he's got more annual leave to use up.

:bicycle:

EDIT: User - thanks for donut shaped badness!

Great, albeit slightly blustery, day out.
Good company, fine scenery.
Thanks, to all who came.

Sorry to keep you waiting, User10571.

I wouldn't worry too much about that - there's worse places to hang about than Richmond Park.

I'm just shy of 40 miles for the day.

That was such great fun, thank you all for being wonderful company and putting up with my slow pace :rolleyes:

Richmond Park is home to the deer, parakeet, blue-eyed jackdaw and lycra serious cyclist.

'I am Rapha. I am God'.

Chapeau to CrockofGold for doing those hills on his fixed. That bike is a thing of beauty.

I worry.
The day you decide to invest in something weight-weenie, carboniferous and blingtastic will be the nemesis of quite a few of us, I fear.

Absolutely, I think you do yourself a disservice, you are a very strong cyclist!!!

hanging around at the back (as i do ) i watched Katie ride up bastard hill on a low gear and was very impressed

i then attempted to lift her bike at the cafe....... oh my

User, i only took 1 pic today you'll have to see Mice, she's the new CC pap



sorry Grace i may have recycled your cup cake cup
 
That was fun! Fab company, location and food - although possibly a calorie overload - those Krispy Kremes are outrageous - and ttcycle home-made sandwiches, yum yum!


An anti-clockwise warm-up put us in good stead for the hill which everyone glided up with ease. I have to say Her Welshness is just awesome on those incredibly weighty wheels. I would still be in the Park if I was riding that bike.

It was a grand plan excellently executed. And good to see a cat in the park. Thank you Her Welshness and User1314 - yes a pint (or two) is owed. I took some pics

Hope we can do it again soon. (Perhaps without the calories though! :eek:)

That, Mister Cat, is impossible - not least because your photos are and always have been far superior to mine. Please reinstate yourself immediately.
