England : London Sunday London ride

[Martok]

Be good to see you both on a ride one Sunday..

As long as you're gentle with a newbie like me, I've only got a Trek 7200 hybrid and can't do a gazillion miles an hour like HaloJ!

Heh, I recognise that height profile although I normally climb past Hampstead station rather than across the heath. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/34853470

With the weather looking unpleasant and a promise of doing the gardening I bailed (I slept in as well). Myself and Martok shall be along to a Sunday ride soon though.

Too easy, minimal tyre damage, no packs of dogs, funfairs and a certain je ne sais quoi is absent
We were tempted to rap on a door or two along 'The Bish' to see if there was a coffee available - topcat having relived his schooldays earlier was feeling a little faint...

These rides are subtitled: 'The Culture Club'

Weather looks decidedly bad at present for this Sunday. I also cant get a pass past 13.00 either so the Doc's ride is off.

May, just may go on the Bigfoot ride to the hills of kent on Saturday morning to ride in the sun as my boy is out with the grandparents or is anyone else up for a Saturday am jaunt?!

I would be interested in the BigFoot ride Clive.. what time is it?

 

[arallsopp]

No sat for me. am off to The Bluebell Railway, with Tunkaneevey, and possibly Mista Preston the elder.

I'm going to play bicycles with the traffic round the M25 - the traffic doesn't know this yet. Too good a forecast to tumble around town.
Sunday, I will haul myself out and see my public in London - and people watch somewhere.
I thought it was only the Sunday evening thunderstorms that were threatening Clive?
(As it will be only 28 degrees C, You'll be wearing your biblongs, waterproof jacket, 3 base layers and thermal pants anyway - oh and the earwarmers with Thinsulate hat...)

Metacheck is showing rain all day so I guess it will be ample chance to test out my 6 layer jersey idea that I have been toying with plus roll out the winter bike !

Ian, the Bigfoot ride is normally 8ish from old hayes. If the consensus is still ride on sunday then sunday it is ?! I know that I cant do both.

 

[Mista Preston]

ok back on for Sunday. 0830 at the DT and I need to be home by 1pm for my cow and gate

 

[Aperitif]

Sounds cool - if I am alive, would it be nice to find a café open under the Canary Wharf tower, or Borough, or The Embankment. or Tower Hill et le Cornichon (sorry - just been watching iLB's 'night on the tiles' video in P & L )
Dunno.
I have a bag of gravel and will throw it on the road if need be...

 

[Martok]

So, would that be Hyde Park Corner at 9.30ish (10.00 ) ? If so, HaloJ and I will be up for it.
