Thursday Night Ride to the Coast - Felpham March 28th

[GrumpyGregry]

summer the top is is ridable with care on 28mm slicks. Saturated chalk might be interesting, though, to be honest if it is frozen it would be less slippery than when 'merely' wet.

Which ever way we go, please make for clean roads.
Thanks.

Very wise, rather than spend hours post ride cleaning the bike, you now only ride on "clean" roads?

My friend, any long bike ride means a bike clean what ever the weather.

The Norwegians are saying minus five for post-Faygate. Brrr.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

But the theoretical risk is more than enough to be taking precautions, surely?

Whilst the impact would be huge, the run of poor decisions one would have to make in order to get Pompeyed makes the risk almost approach zero.

"You know when you've been Pompeyed".

I've done stupider things.

I want to go to Birmingham but they've taken me on to Crewe

Surely, by recent standards, that might seem scorchio?

b-i-l and s-i-l are thinking of taking m-i-l shopping in Pompey this week. She has dementia so won't be traumatised by the experience, or of she is, she won't remember.

You know that song is about sex not trains right?

Surely not! It's just about a young lady who has gone a bit too far.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Precisely.

I've done the chalk route on Red with 25×700 Pro3 Races with no problems, but I wouldn't necessarily choose to go that way with those tyres. Something a bit chunkier is likely to be easier.

I'll be sticking to a road route if I'm given a choice.

As someone else said in another context:

That sounds like it's made almost entirely of grim
