Off for a Jodd- sun 25th September

[Lien Sdrawde]

Thanks. I'm in.

I'm late to this again.... dan poked me with a text.

It's about 50 miles round trip, and as everyone has said it's at a reasonable pace and we always wait for folk.

We've done the ride a few times. Would everyone prefer to go out via Bramhall and Woodford this time, rather than via Higher Poynton and Potts Shrigly (some hills that nearly killed a few of us on fixed) ?

Swiss hill is always an option !

Cake stop - where - Jodrell or the caravan place ? Bear in mind we had to eat outside with the bikes last time at Jodrell - jobsworth's complaining that a kid might come along and knock them over - there weren't any kids about - They have probably forgotten by now. Cake and coffee good at Jodrell.

I'll have a think about some different routes.

I'd be up for it even tho it will be nearer to 80+ miles by the time I get home

The flatter the better for us fixie folks

Might have recruited another one tonight, binbag is interested

There are no hills in Cheshire Paul, this is not a Colinj ride

 

[fossyant]

There are hills, and we could always do them ! Short and sharp though !

I'm only thinking of Paul, not me you understand

I'm only thinking of my legs

The Cat and Fiddle is not an option for a cafe stop under any circumstances

 

[Simba]

I am on the maybe pile, I'm unsure what I am doing that weekend.

 

[cyclegeek]

I might be up for this. Will be moving house that weekend so the ride could get rid of a lot of stress

As long as you don't mind a newbie to the forum coming along?

I saw this thread posted in my "Hello" thread so hope you don't mind me joining in. I would be up for doing this if you don't mind another new bloke turning up??

Some silly questions for ya though: what do I need to bring exactly? Apart from the usual spares and stuff, are we obliged to bring a bag full of cakes etc etc?

Also, since I've only riden a couple of rides of any significant distance could someone tell me if I would be able to keep up? I have nothing to compare anything to so can't make the call myself.

Here is the route I did last Sunday and it took me exactly 3 hours to complete:

Here is the Garmin stats:

Ignore the max speed 70mph! I think the Garmin had a 'moment', as did the HRM coz I never get over 190 so no idea where over 200 came from... unless cycling does that to you... I'm a runner mainly.

I won't be offended if I am a bit slow at the minute, I'll come along after some more rides out as I wouldn't want to slow anyone up.

Cheers

SJ, you will be fine looking at that Garmin track. I think we averaged 15mph on my first one and don't forget it is a bit easier if you ride in a group as you can tuck in behind the faster guys.
I will be trying to get on Danbo's back wheel as I will then have a lovely calm ride with almost no wind at all
