Saturday Road Rides????

I know that quite a few members have got road bikes so would anybody be up for a regular club road ride?

Meeting venue and route to be agreed.

Perhaps on Saturday so it doesn't interfere with the Sunday rides? AM or PM?

I want to up the fitness levels this (well next) year and doing a regular road ride would help.

Any takers? Gav, Paul, Si, Dave, Brian etc?

Yeah i'd be up for that, need to get the mileage in as doing the
Etape du Dales in May. I can only do every other Saturday, but its a start

Cool idea

I'm game

I'm up for a bit roadie action. Also need to get the miles in for some of the Endurance Events (Merida, Gorrick etc), so may even ride over to MK from Harpenden. Let us know details.

Wicked.

Anyone got any suggestions to a meeting point then? Somewhere central to us all would be useful.

Shall we aim for Saturday 6th Jan for the first ride?

How about Willen Lake as the meeting point. I'm not sure I can do that weekend yet but I was going to try and get out this Saturday if anyone was up for it

Willen ok for me. Gav/Paul??

.............and is 9am okay for the start time?

Unbelievable! Doing the hills off road will benefit! I'll come along in the support vehicle and jeer you all along!



Andy

Im kinda up for this but worried I wouldnt be fit enough to keep up or even worse slow you down.
its been a while.....

Mark your in. Fitness unimportant. This Saturday?

Kick Stand Mike said he was interested, but was also worried about his fitness, explained that it'll be like a Sunday ride and no-one will get left behind, with riding on the road you can just draft someone and still keep up

Do I need to shave my legs and is lycra compulsory?

NOTE TO SELF:

Don't sell road bike !!

Parker International: Here I come ! Wahoooooo

Shaving? Surely you won't have your legs out at this time of year???

Lycra = yes
Peaks on helmets = no
Camelbak's = no
baggies = no
overshoes = yes

And if we encounter any mtbers and anyone acknowledges them, they'll be suspended from the club with immediate effect

Ahhhhhhhhh wear what you like, providing we can all laugh at each other.

Come on then, loads of interest but is actually coming?

If not I'll stay at home and watch Tiswas (or whatever its called now)

I'll come at nine if its just us 2 JK.

ok

I can't believe this is happening!!!

Sorry guys can't make this Saturday as got my son but possibly make next week

Iain, its just a matter of time you'll be riding with the RIMMERS !!!

I thought you were getting a Road Bike??

I'm gonna buy one tomorrow. I'm just trying to find ones in contempory colours. A pastel pink or egg shell would be ideal.

Yea, brother in law said he was going to give me a bike but I dont think he is so keen now.

Yeah Im in for a laugh, any chance of meeting up a bit more centrally, if were meeting at willen ill drive over if its closer ill ride there otherwise i will be fooked before I get there

Mark.

Mark, due to the lack of response this Saturday has been cancelled (replaced with knitting for beginners if you’re interested). I think Si can do next week so perhaps the meeting point on 13th could be Furzton lake (think that is nearer to you and Si is only down the old A5).

OK Cool, sounds good.
Postponed so the ladies can shave their legs
