Great Strappy Do you know the way from Sundon over towards Dunstable and Ivinghoe Beacon? Thought if we can get out that far then turn around and come back through Redbourn, Welwyn etc it should make for a good run home and maybe an M or two to fi…

Can i turn up and enter on the line or does this need to be pre-booked? Russell Downing recommends some speed work in a "training block" so this must do the trick.... Aero bars at the ready! Will i be able to do some fencing after this? Off to bu…

Beautiful ride again. Sorry to Martin and Stef for nearly causing a spill when cramp set in and thanks for waiting for me to move again on lap 2.

Just Declan and myself today doing a scenic route out through bygrave, willian, wymondly, Preston, codicote and back through datchworth walkern (no sign of Tim here) benington, redhill and sandon. Nice weather and good natter. Caught Geoff playing an…

Great write up chaps. From what Peter says i bet he will be back next year for more!
-
Andrew Glad you enjoyed it! I couldnt get there in the end but will be aiming for next week.
-
Probably - still have to negotiate ride times for the weekend
-
Lovely day for it again if you had the wind behind you or chose your position well! Liked coming back via Knebworth as the lanes are nice at this time of year and it makes getting home a bit easier. Thanks for the ride chaps. 66miles @ 17.5mph 2,500 …

Happy to assume my normal position outside the Hare & Hounds!

I am up for Saturday morning and am happy to attempt whatever you want to throw at me!

Thanks all for a cracking ride. Great to read all the feedback. First half was a blast. At the feed stop i thought it would be too big an ask to stay with the lead group and MC wanted to get his tea in which was a good enough excuse for me to have a…

It was a fantastic night for riding. Clear, warmish and better light this week. 5 out including myself, Tim H, Jez, MC and Tim D who was swept up between Litlington and Bassingbourn. The speed we were travelling at as we approached Tim (27mph) makes…

Start point and course details please. Aiming to be there on Tuesday. Lights on charge.

I am going to Welwyn track this Saturday to go round in circles
-
ooh yes please! can we start tomorrow?
-
I still feel drained..... Moral of the story is - do not leave Skelders at a check point mid sportif. He will make you pay for it!

8 or 9 out today enjoying the fine spring weather. We headed out into the wind and Langford on a Martin special taking in one of the bitchin Brickhill's followed by some lumpy bits and a pit stop at a visitor centre in a forest somewhere. On to Sundo…

After you are up Galibeir you get the chance to come up Alpe D'uez which looks a little like this. I think this is hairpin No 9.

In case you are struggling for motivation this is the climb up to the top of Col du Galibier.......

8.30 it is then sir! http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/7021/sergeant.png

Has Windsor Davies got any suggestions?

Great ride this apart from the start and finish. I dont like hills like Mow Cop as whilst they are legendary they are too much to include in a big event like this. Its impossible to climb them in anything but extreme discomfort. You cant breath, you …

Best day of the year so far. 71 miles all in for me. Speed dropped off dramatically after I broke off for my "short cut" home. A600 into Hitchen not fun must remember not to do that one again... Sharpenhoe Clappers - where did that come from!! Thanks…
-
Robbie I will have gears tomorrow. Need a shake down ride on the rebuild before next weekend
-
Get well soon Tim. Dont want to scupper my plan of wheel sucking you round Cheshire. If you still have the same complaint it will be to the back of the train for you!
-
Thanks Trahern. In part reading about your exploits last year in the track league has inspired me to give it a crack. I can feel my lungs bursting already!

Geoff - One step at a time for me. Ultimately i would like to ride in the pringle one day.... If you are available to help people in the club have a go this would be greatly appreciated. I am aiming for 9th April as my first go.
