Tour of Hampshire CC Ride - 4th April

[Auntie Helen]

Am on a diet too now, no more kebabs for me this month, so am up for some posing? Buff, Shoes, Helmet and thats it yeh? hehehe!

OK, as long as we get to say where the Buff goes.

My recommendation is that those of you (whether sporting butterfly bars or not) coming from outside Essex do a nice cycle ride to Ingatestone, then hop on a train to Manningtree. The nice 45 minute train journey will give you time to refresh, regroup and trade insults before the ride proper starts. At which point you'll all be polite and gentlemanly and not too tired out.

I expect lots of posing for my Dishy CCers Calendar 2010.

Only if we can get some more ladies along on some of these rides, I feel it's slightly unfair on the chaps that we don't have a similar view to feast the eyes on! Can't presume I am speaking for everyone hear mind you!

Well, as it normally goes around my short fat neck, am sure it will fit anywhere else...

you had a neck, hadn't noticed!!!

 

[Aperitif]

You'll probably have to tie it in a knot in that case Davy...

I agree dj - there will come a time for the ladies not the laddies only, I'm sure.
(Can't imaging them posing outside a Kebabbery though! Shoe shop maybe...

 

[arallsopp]

At risk of being sexist, when did a woman ever stop outside a shoe shop?

 

[Auntie Helen]

As mentioned previously, I have bought three pairs of shoes since May 2007 and they are ALL cycling SPD items (shoes, sandals, winter boots). I take no delight in shoe shops generally.

 

[DJ]

Aperitif I did notice all the bar staff were midgets!

Well some of the chaps did fall short of the others on the height chart!
and as Davy mentioned on the ride a pair of full on roadie spd's do sound amazingly like high heels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the stop outside the shoe shop is not unconcievable.

 

[Radius]

Well, just got back from a 30 mile jaunt down to Richmond park, just to test out whether or not I'd recovered. Looks like I have. Took plenty of food (3 bananas!) and some water, and did it all in around 2 hours.
Hadn't actually been round there before on a bike, nice place for cycling, those b*stard hills are great, rode up them a few times and realised I certainly learned some climbing technique on the Hamps ride.
Now to clean the bike

 

[Aperitif]

Radius - you'll be interested in the Richmond Park three lap challenge 2009 then.
Go to BikeRadar and check out the stats in 'Road Rides' - I think.

 

[tdr1nka]

I did a quick 10 miles yesterday and have done about 20 today.
Legs are still a bit sore but happily my a*se has since regained it's composure.

Also Bollo, you were right about the solar radiation, I've got tan lines from the ride and people are asking, rather suspiciously, why I look so tanned and healthy all of a sudden.

 

[Radius]

Yep I've got a decent tan too, got big line all round my neck
Shame you can't make the TnRttC td,

 

[tdr1nka]

Tis poo, I know. But there'll be other rides coming up!
Need to do another century soon tho, I mustn't lose the fire!

 

[DJ]

Yes we must all keep up this new found fitness, gosh we will all look like rakes soon!

Must admit, its my ankles that are hurting!!!!!!!!! they've never hurt before.
