Thursday Night Ride to the Coast - Felpham March 28th

Don't know why, always had you down as a Manze's man?

The pie shop in Greenwich [edit - goddards] that is now a.... Coffee shop? Was always my favourite, such a good crumble in there.

I hate pie and mash, but at least in Goddards you could have aforesaid crumble. Shop is now a Gourmet Burger Kitchen. However, I think a new Goddards opened round the corner.

Pebblecombe indeed. Far, far nastier than Reigate (I appreciate this might seem a touch odd coming from me). The people who speed past me everytime I go down there always worry me. It's tight, it's twisty, overhanging trees so poorly lit. And the level crossing at the bottom to boot. Definitely not one for fixed.

 

[dellzeqq]

right - I'm going to have to lay it on pretty thick next time. And have words if people do anything daft.

 

[ianrauk]

And can I say that the SMRbtH for this ride is probably the best one. A really good cracking ride.

 

[ceepeebee]

is that the one where we turn right down into a tree tunnel? Pebblecombe that is - x-posts

 

[benborp]

I think on fixed Reigate is more likely to catch you out. It's a bit more enticing. What I mean by that is that the gradient is such that it encourages you to keep spinning until you might find you can spin no more. Pebblecombe drops pretty much straight into a 10%+ grade so you have to keep everything in check from the top. It's a shame I'm in Wales for this one otherwise I'd take up Adrian's invitation.

Why do you stand on a pedestrian?

Right, to get back to the point of the thread, and divert all of the descriptions of Adrian's pedestrian abuse and the consumption of pies, I'm in (well I've sent off my email to his dellzeqqness anyway).

I'm not planning on doing it on fixed, mainly because I don't have a fixed bike to do it on. Red will probably get his first outing of the year, he's busy collecting dust at the moment.
