check it out, we're in there in the open men.

so who's going to come up and support us? There's a campsite and bars and we'll need some mechanics if anyone wants to help?

yeah, full right up. they are going to try and lengthen the route to allow more riders but i expect these space will be filled by people that have already entered if they become available. we had our entry form in 2 days after they were released to get a space.

I am the only member who is riding SS at the moment.. This is a request for some forum peer pressure to get Roberto, Slack, and my anonymous friend to HTFU! I have gearie bts ready to go on if I will slow everyone else down.
My 'training' has levelled off and my knees hurt.. I'm riding about 130-150 miles a week, almost all of it is in my 23mile commute.
I did an offroad lap of RP yesterday in 35 minutes.. I'm plan to build up to doing 2-3 of those laps twice a week. is that good?
Roberto, Tommy, Object, MrSmith, infact anybody who wants to do some offroading please HELP me get out more - Any advice appreciated - only 8 weeks left!
Thanks, Prav x

That 20kg lump of metal you ride should handicap you enough that I will look fast.. right?

Possibly. What ratio are you pushing?
Bear in mind that I've got the fat tyres for added drag and it's only a 38*16 SS or 38*18 Fixed.

I'm still gonna get you out riding dude - not this weekend or next but maybe the 10th/11th. This time you need to HTFU and do the extra miles to the station instead of getting a lift :-). How about the Surrey Hills Killer Loop with some added singletrack next time?

Killer loop is a definite.. I'm on it. After the last ride i was frustratingly under-knackered.
I prefer getting the train, hopefuly James will read this and buy a bike-rack or STFU and train it from Clapham like the rest of us Londoners..

I suspect you're lighter machine will make the climbs a lot easier, but I'll kick your ass on the way back down or along the flat (hopefully) ;]
