England : London Sunday London ride

[ianrauk]

Wow the scenery looks amazing! Shame to have missed it; now one question - how hilly is is it?

Not very, more rolling then out and out leg stretch. There are more downs then up.. loooooong sweeeping downs..
You would be able to manage easy.

May be tempted at some point - I remember trying to do my old cycling clubs beginner run and that was hard and quite hilly - the last bit right at the end before coming back into Crystal Palace up Anerley Hill left me toasted after going up and down all the lanes.

Short sharp hills and inclines I don't mind too much-more the longer drags that are tiring.

anyone planning to be out?

there is the brighton run with the lorries so i'm undecided at the moment

 

[ianrauk]

Not me this weekend.
Son # 1 is up from Torquay this weekend.
Though if anyone is about Monday during the day for a stretch?

 

[iZaP]

I don't think I'm doing anything yet on Monday that could interfere with a little "stretching".

I'll see how my legs feel Ian

Not me I'm afraid. Heavy cold and throat infection has laid me up. Went out yesterday morning for a few miles to see how I felt and had to lie down for the rest of the day. And I am now ordered to lie on the sofa all day and will probably not get out again this weekend.

Is it time to sell your Enigma, Ross?
Seriously, have a comfortable day and get better. I have had a sore throat for three days, but fortunately just that. A good radio programme is what you need! Best wishes.
