I can see how that sounds now I look at it from a different perspective Very Happy

That would be a sight to see considering she's 94 years old Smile

Hi, sorry, not been too hot on keeping up with the thread. Yes there will be an early Box Hill assault/meander depending on whether you want a PB to round off the year with. I thought just a regroup at the top and then keep moving. Do some more nice hills then aim for the pub and back via the KW chaingang route from Brooklands. Rich - I posted a link to the route, don't suppose you have seen it?

Anyway proposed route is earlier in the thread, and easily downloadable for those with Garmin 705's

9am is fine for me and saturday of course.

Sorry chaps, was hoping it wouldn't come to this but I've been feeling pretty ropey the last couple of days so I don't think I'm going to do more than the odd couple of park laps this weekend. I'd force myself out but even my 20 min slow bimble of a commute has been an effort this week. Sad

Apologies again dudes - enjoy it though Cool

Sat is looking good for me - see you at the gate at 9 Smile

Sorry you can't make it Rich - I've not been feeling particularly full of these last few days, but don't think I'm ill so hoping to get an early night and wake up good to go in the morning.

You must have just missed us, my chock showed 13 past when we rolled off.

Good ride though, we ended doing the tried and trusted route, Peaslake then Leith Hill and up to Box Hill. There was some running event on so we had a snack in the Box Hill CBD area. I clocked 60 miles at 15.8mph. Enjoying some couch time watching the rugger.Cheers

Damn, must have ridden past you on my way in! Yeah I made it to Box Hill too no PB on my way up to the top, but definitely cowbell assisted. I even managed to stay upright round the hairpin, which was a lot better than the same time last year where I dropped my bike and snapped my mech hanger...

The beer in the pub was nice - Hoffbrau and it went down very nicely. I have to go out and clean the bike now, it was filthy by the time I got back.

Glad you all still managed to get out and sorry this didn't quite go to plan! Embarassed Laughing

I made it out for a barely-worth-bothering 15min run (first time I've done any running for YEARS!) and my legs hurt more today than they have after any bike ride I can remember in recent times! Shocked

Potential for one final CCC of the year next Sat - anyone keen on that?

Sorry you just missed us felgen Sad

Thanks to the others for the ride, was enough to properly knacker me. Although maybe last night's 9 hour martini drinking session may not have helped the recovery Embarassed

Unfortunately I probably can't do a long ride next sat as I have to be off. Hope to see you guys again soon though!

Sunday 3rd? Que? Surely Sunday 6th?
Dont know if I want anyhting other than an easy ride, as I might be a little sore after the hoonfest of the Saturday at Hillingdon.

Weather permitting, I'm still interested. We'd need as early a start as people can cope with (leaving home first light?) or make sure we have lights for the last half hour or so.
Anyone else?
