i've been advised against doing this ride brakeless but i only have 1 bike and it doesn't have brakes. are the descents very scary?

I'm definitley not riding my geoff butler then

Without brakes they could be.. how hard is it to fit a brake to your bike? Is it drilled?

no can do. moving house that day - though if you were to move it to the Sunday....

Don't worry, i'm not that bad. My geoffrey butler is fine. It won't be coming on this ride though, due to not having a brake. :)

Pissed that I missed out on the Monopoly fun but not the rain, just checking Date/Time for the Southend ride??

[quote] mareeoh:

Shame you can't make it jonny. Hopefully see you on the brighton run instead.

no. its a track frame. i've been down some fairly steep hills although they are generally quite short. it's the long hills that are difficult. Does anyone know how the descents comapre to, say, blackheath hill?

yeah, am up for the brighton run. when the date gets sorted. have a good one illy.

also does anyone know what distance is? more or less then brighton?

Report of the last ride..
http://thehippy.net/nucleus/index.php?itemid=863

"Stats: 5hr total time, 3hr ride time, 75k (47mi) for Seven Dials to Southend, making my total for the day 105k fixed, in horrible conditions. Noice!"

Anybody know how many miles (or km) the Richmond park ride was? 35ish?

hey minh ai, general point is if youre going to do the brighton ride (5th April) you will probably need a brake, get a clamp on, so you only put it on for longer rides, theres nothing wrong with having a spare brake is there

the weather will be horrible this weekend, at least is what bbc says...
so if next weekend is horrible too we will have to set another day

everyone agree with 10:00 at brick lane polo court?

10 sounds good, how many people are up for doing it in shit weather?

Supposed to start from 7 Dials man..

yeah, keep it old school! :-P

Seven dials suits me better too......
Definate big NO to shit weather ride....I do enough of that commutin'

Weather will be lovely. I can feel it in my water.

uhhh, like, yeah, that's like, sooooo un-cooool :)

thanks for the advice flickerwiggleby. i might be able to borrow my flatmates langster or i might just be hardcore. i'll look into the brake clamp too.

Right take me off the list. I'd love to have done a re-run, but gotta go up and visit my folks in the lake district that weekend now. If anyone feels upset by this news, I'll bring you back some Kendal Mint Cake to console you ;-)

I'm upset about this news..

comes as no surprise to be honest ;-)

Hippy - white or brown?

Slamm - shut it you cheeky git. You should be thankful I won't be there to knock you off your bike again ;-P

photoben: Both, of course! (I'm not even sure what you're talking about I just know they're food) :P

I am VERY VERY upset by this! can i have 2 mint cakes? oh, and maybe some fudge?

i'll take some chocolate covered mint cake too please. I've only just stopped crying :)

No way! lol ....
nha...im living in Stratford now it means i`ll have to ride west than to ride east...

7:00 am ....too early guys! at least 09:00 please!!!

weather

I think we`ll have to find another date...

Am putting my name down for this, but if the weather is anything like today ie fucking shite. I may opt out. Fingers crossed
