Training ride Saturday 26th July 7am, top of Boxhill
If anyone fancies it, route may include Whitedown, twice if we get lost, Coombe, and that other bugger that Smiffy nearly killed us on. Or it may be a lot flatter, depends on complaint levels.
All welcome, no uber ponces, emphasis on gentle social, not terminal velocity on the downhills or yellow jerseys on the ups.
Pack your running shoes if we get back early and you are well 'ard. I'll watch.
So far

Dustboy (Chief whinger and Moanfester)
Possible maybe

Any takers?

Almost tempted but don't think I can face Whitedown again just yet, not even once. Next time maybe - but only if there's some real slowcoaches along.

As per my email can't do this weekend but count me in for future rides.
For anyone worried about whitedown, I walked it too last time out having ground to a complete stop half way up it. Ip and bassy seemed to go up it in about 10th gear - how?
Its a bit too short notice for me, but I'll be interested on a future ride...
Cool ... don't want anyone thinking we're in training 12 months out for the next shindig ...
as you sow, so shall you reap my children.
Im going for the CRAB stop making excuses and train,,...hard, theory for my next IM
I'm going for the CRAB approach of asking which cheeky fcker put my name on a list?

C'mon, Shiraz has half an excuse as a chalkie to sleep in, what's your excuse ?
7am ?? when I can still see Nice in my rear view mirror??
not on your nelly.
We is well 'ard though ...
followed by a quick spin and a lap around the block ...
LOL!!! Have a good ride guys!
Well that was fun, ta muchly Dustboy ! Clocked up about 65 miles in the old money, to/from Box Hill and around the winding and occasionally upflat bits of Surrey, with a coffee stop thrown in for good measure. Wimped out almost to the top of Whitedown, still too fat and unfit for the 18% stuff, but in fairness Dustboy did unclip and walk at one point .... admittedly through an 'no cycling' underpass but he still unclipped and walked dammit
Sailed up Box Hill after that and rode home, but the quads have gone on strike.
A couple of lucozade and powerade gels and bottles of orange lucozade over the morning made me want to throw up. The lemon stuff's normally OK, but think I need to find something less sickly and icky for IMCH. Will check out the Leppin stuff someone posted about recently.
