England : London Sunday London ride

[deptfordmarmoset]

Rumours of a warmer weekend leave me interested in a meet up. My legs are so weak at the moment that any riding will be so laid back I'll be indistinguishable from a recumbent. If User10571's going to be sociable, I'll play the dry laconic role. If less impeccably tidy.

Sounds good all any start time ok for me going to be riding into Town.....Do you use the same Start as FNRttC's at Hyde Park ???

Mother's Day innit. Family stuff for me I'm afraid.

Well I wasn't riding anywhere last weekend as the bike overhaul overran by several hours. I can move my ride to Sunday, then do a training session on the way home depending on how much energy I have left.

Forgot about Mothers Day but can still make the ride
Any start time good for me early ok to so people can get back for Mothers Day duties

I think i saw the Clarion/Butterfly caravan on Lambeth walk/Vauxhall st yesterday afternoon as i was returning home from the Shire just as i was entering Topcat towers

Haha! Caravan? That sounds like us. We were making our way home after collecting a trailer from a friend in Limehouse. The wean was in the seat on the back of Butterfly's bike.

Interested in this for the weekend. How far and what pace is this usually done at?

Unlikely to venture more that 20 miles from HPC (if anywhere near that limit - most likely more like 10).
Pace, IME, has always been conversational.
These rides have always struck me as being more about being sociable/having some breakfast than clocking the miles or upping the pace.

Fair enough. I'll give it a miss for the moment, looking for a bit more of a workout this weekend, but maybe another weekend when I'm looking for a more relaxing ride

Relaxing - Would be a good way of describing the Sunday London Ride.
Chances are it'll still be taking place when you're up for something that amounts to something that is less than a workout

 

[crazyjoe101]

@Mr_K_Dilkington If I'm out I'll be doing a workout / training ride after the ride. If you're based in south / SE London we could head home in that direction if we're ever both on one of these.

 

[Nigel182]

Aiming to be at HPC for 09:00 to 09:30 see if anyone's there then head out
Weather looking good

Okay, I plan to finally come this time but still can't garuntee. @deptfordmarmoset, if you're coming would you like me to give you a ring / text in the morning and meet you on the way?

Not definitely but weather's looking very inviting. If I'm up for it do you want an alarm call?

Haha, you can try if you want but the phone won't touch me, I'll set the alarm clock . To avoid a painful repeat of last time I'll text when I'm up so you know I'm coming.
