25/11/12 - Steady TG ride - Norwood Hill

[Ghaleb]

There is a couple of us who will be doing the follwing;

When and where: 9.30am from CSS.

Pace: Steady TG pace.

Route: The idea is to include one of the race circuits that are within close proximity to our normal CR. I have choosen Norwood Hill race course for this time. We can do a lap and a half of it and then after that there is the option of either;
1. heading back via the normal CR; or
2. the longer hillier option of carrying on further south and then heading back via Shere and Boxhill.

I will be doing option 2. See link below for more details of the full route.

Distance: Approx. 75 miles (for option 2).

Let me know if you are intrested.

I'll try to make it, weather permitting. Don't wait around for me though; if I'm not there on time you can assume I'm not coming.

[Iliya]

I'll be there Ghaleb. Will there be cafe stop towards the end of the ride?

Sunday should be dry and with a bit of luck we might even get some sunny spells. See you on Sunday unless you make it to CR tomorrow too.

Did some parts of the course today and Wimlands and Green Lane are full of grit. So Instead of that we are better off going up Faygate lane and Capel Road. Thought I would let you know .

[Iliya]

Thanks for scouting the course. You put a lot of effort in planning this ride.

[Wal]

I'm not gonna make the ride tomorrow. Sorry for the late notice. Hopefully next time!

[Antloony]

Thanks for the ride today guys. Sorry I bailed out early but was running on empty after a late night last night and not having eaten for over 16 hours I didn't want to run out of energy. Had a nice thrash back from BH as the wind was a tail one thankfully

[Iliya]

Cheers Ant. I should have followed you. Bonked badly and was chewing handle bars from Sheere until home. Otherwise good ride.

Write up to follow and reasons why Ghaleb should not be allowed to plot routes.

[Ghaleb]

There was a good turn out with 6 of us at the start. Thanks for the company guys - Enjoyable ride over all.

The ride got harder after Capel, where Ilija started to show signs of suffering...I will let him tell how how much he enjoyed the ride today .

Next week I will be doing a similar thing (but this time Ilija won't be around to complain), so keep an eye on the forum.

See you next week!

What you saying Keith, do you think we need a new design for 2013?

Cheers

Marek....

Not a question of design, just wondering why so few were wearing club kit?
