Speedy Ride for food-Olympic RoadRace Route-Sat 14th Jan

[gbs]

If Abs is in the lead I will definitely bring the c'f stealth machine! My guess is that we will exceed 22.5kph rolling average and so arrive at Gomshall no later than 1115 - assuming nil enforced stoppages.

What's a kilometer? :P

Yeah about 14mph average sounds about right. Lunch stop opens at midday and we have space in the restaurant under the name of "Abi" (for those that beat me there).

I've been out for a good fast ride today, my legs are aching so I'll likely be slower than usual.

That's it! Always get the excuses in early!!!

Okay, I'm on the verge of being psyched out of doing this.... the route & map etc look great... but I fear even a tired HaloJ will leave me for dust... or in this case, fog.

Ian's doing a top job of keeping the first page up-to-date. Teef may join us but hasn't confirmed either way.

HaloJ, do you want mobile numbers? Or will you be checking this thread tomorrw morning for last minute bail-outs or running-lates?

 

[HaloJ]

I'm happy to check the thread but I'll PM everyone my number later. X

 

[redjedi]

I'm going to meet you in Richmond Park by Richmond gate (as that will give me an extra hour in bed ). I'll be there at/before 9.

Wrap up warm!

 

[Aperitif]

I'm sick, Abs - not rolling tomorrow...just bedrockin'. Have a good ride everyone.

 

[StuAff]

Train ticket bought, will be giving myself an extra half-hour in bed by getting the 5.32 into Waterloo (Victoria trains are actually faster tomorrow- and nine quid cheaper- but I'd be in town for an hour and a half before the off!!).
That's my excuse for being slow sorted. If I needed one. I'm just slow!

 

[gbs]

I will do the Redjedi thing - Richmond Gate at 0900.

 

[HaloJ]

Cool both and noted. PM sent including my phone number.

Bed time now with a fluttery tummy. Even though I've done big rides many times before I always get nervous before the off.

Abs

 

[redflightuk]

Have a good ride all. Be carefull out there. -6 here at the moment.

Migraine has hijacked my day, i've texted HaloJ. Really gutted to be missing this having overcome yesterday's self-doubts!! 'Twould would have been perfect prep for my first audax of the year, in two week's time. I may be soliciting the forum for a ride partner or two to do most, if not all, of this route next Sat.
