Poll: OcUK London Ride 2015

[grudas]

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?

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

Won't be able to make this unless its on the 9th or 10th. Have to go back home weekend of the 16th-17th

 

[Morpho]

I'm still in for the 17th.

 

[Beenom]

I'm in for 17th also

 

[Asprilla]

Confirmed for the 17th (not travelling with work and I have a pass from the Camp Commandant).

 

[Calpol]

I am still able to come. will be driving from Beds.

 

[grudas]

I'd say we need to settle in on the route ASAP!

I'd say my comfortable mile range is 80-90mi any more and I'll struggle, with the fact that I live 15or so miles from RP - which is where everyone is planning on meeting up unless I join you girls mid way.

 

[Asprilla]

Don't worry; we'll stop for a cake on the way back, you'll be fine.

 

[Gamefreak501]

I'll be interested in this. Route will help me decide between my Triban 5 road bike or Rockrider mtb

 

[sHo0sH]

Looking forward to this one, going to absolutely die on the hills though. Just been in Oz drinking beers for 3 weeks so will have to get a bit of practice in beforehand!

 

[Shamrock]

Sorry been away for a week.

So are people happy with the meeting point/time and route? Once we get out to Surrey we can be fairly flexible in altering the route. Also, Box Hill for the cafe stop?

 

[SoliD]

I'll decide on the weekend as with getting the train will be a bloody early start. So will wait to see weather etc.

 

[Calpol]

Its quite a tough route you've set. 100 miles and over 7000ft!!! I should still be ok even if my stamina isn't that good at present. 80 odd miles is the most I have done this year!

 

[Shamrock]

Strava isn't showing the elevation correctly for some reason. It's more like 6000ft.

As I said it's easy to shorten the route by avoiding some of the hills.

 

[Calpol]

Is someone firming up the details on this now. Like who all is going etc.

 

[Shamrock]

Nobody seems to reply to anything I've said!

The details are, turn up at Richmond Park cafe for 9am on the 17th if you want to ride.

 

[Shamrock]

Also, not sure how others feel about bad weather, but I'm willing to make an effort unless it's a really horrible forecast.

 

[grudas]

what's the route? :O

 

[Asprilla]

I'm going.

The route is the one Shamrock suggested.

 

[grudas]

cool! I'm still good to go

can everyone who's coming drop their name in?
