| | nimbhus - gonna reccie (never know how to spell that) the ride next week. will have a better clue how long it will take, building in time for mechanicals, etc. i can't see it starting at 0800 though as quite a few of us will have to put 15 miles in just to get to the start point. good to get away early enough though to enjoy oxvoid. |

| | I took the very generic option number 4. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for falling leaves but I'd happily drop some GI and give it a go. Be nice to put another long ride in before hand though. as I've not done more then 80miles in a day since last year. Last edited by Object; 30th May 2008 at 14:22. Reason: Spelling is important |

| | i did half the falling leaves route last weekend and am looking forward to doing the whole thing some time. i wasn't down there cycling it just turned out the route was ideal for some trees i was going to look at. it will happen. all these rides will happen, but yeah i think the Falling Leaves is the toughest of them. start time will be sorted once reconnaissance complete. we will be making a day of it l's and g's. |

| | cool smithers, i reckon on an around 17mph average. we have pulled off a couple of decently paced rides recently, what with the last brighton and southend rides. the peloton will no doubt concertina a bit and there may be some waiting to be done for the true roadies. but hopefully not much. there are spires to be dreamed about, and celebratory Gs waiting. |

| | i'm not in training. obviously i won't be doing any breakaways. the truth is i haven't been riding as much as i like, partly due to some personal shit that has been going on, but partly due to the fact that it really IS fuckign murder round here, hillwise. i have found a 6.5 mile circuit round some quiet back lanes, which is of course roughly the same distance as RP, but - i kid you not - 1 lap of this is a fuck sight harder than a trundle round RP. I generally only do 2, and that takes it out of me as much a 4 RP laps would. I miss RP, it's the best cycling resource around. the landscape round here is heaven for climbers, but there's never any flats. it's up then down, up then down. no breaks. i have tried riding geared, but i hate it, i can climb better on fixed. |
