Poll: OcUK London Ride 2015

[grudas]

you're trying to end me with those routes shamrock? and the reason the elev profile is a mess is because the route ends heck knows where on the map... - strava route builder seems to be gone! that's why I used ride with gps.

 

[Shamrock]

They will be okay for purely illustrative purposes. When I pull down the actual GPX file it's all good.

Those routes are fairly typical, they can be a lot more hilly!

 

[Asprilla]

Now that the date will be sorted via the poll we can think about the route!

I tried to create some routes from my rides with Strava and it keeps buggering up the elevation. The total gain is off and the elevation graph doesn't match the route. Anyone else having this problem?

Surrey Hills

That looks good to me.

That route does Newlands Corner, Shere, Leith, White Down and Box. There is a little detour where we had to go back down Box due to a road closure. Normally we'd head straight up through Headley from Boxhill Rd

No Crocknorth? I am disappoint.

just realised that the evening of the 17th I'm going to see Ned Boulting (of ITV tdF coverage) do a talk in Walton so I'm going to have a full cycling related day.

Here are the details if anyone else is interested: https://thelittleboxoffice.com/riverhouse/event/view/2175

I think you should do that route I suggested the other day

 

[Shamrock]

So does the poll mean we definitely have 11 people riding?

Roll call?

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

[Asprilla]

Me

9am at Richmond Park cafe, leave at 9.15. https://goo.gl/maps/mtOrg

Route, well I suggested a route here: https://www.strava.com/routes/2113201

In reality it will be slightly shorter as we lapped RP before leaving that day and also had to double back where Box Hill Rd was closed.

I can easily come up with something more hilly/brutal but this is a ride for fun right?
