Yea that would be cool, im riding from Thame a couple of times a week, looks like we're riding similar routes. The Chilterns are pretty awesome for cycling. Some of the hills tho, dat glute burn

Aston hill is the longest ive found so far, 2 miles give or take. I prefer them to the short sharp ones

Welcome anytime, I'm just outside Aylesbury. Quite happy to come meet you in Thame and head on from there, would be at a weekend though as I can only fit the Turbo in during the week.

Some nice long-ish climbs over towards Ashendon and also Brill Hill is really nice, neither particularly steep or long but a bit more challenging than Aston Hill.

I don't mind steep climbs, just not when they're long too :p Didn't realise just how big a climb Whiteleaf is until I came whizzing back down it after Kop :eek:

(I was already stood much earlier than I had previously and my HR was already creeping above LTHR before I'd even hit the first bend where it actually gets steep :eek: not trying to sprint the remaining 2/3rds helped :D)

I did point that out when the offer was initially posted in here, free (if you were already ordering and spending more than £10 :p). World and his wife now placing orders for things they don't need...:p:rolleyes:

Spotted than this morning, huzzah :cool:
 
That Brill Hill looks good Benny, its only up the road from work so i might take a trip there the next time i ride home. I head over this way from Marlow or Henley during the weekends usually.

I agree about the SiS stuff, although i did try a cola gel once, that was pretty good!
 
How is it £3.99 for a dozen gels? The minimum order is £10 and the gel packs are all way more than £3.99 (for often less than a dozen gels)? :confused:

edit: Oh, you mean if you don't get free delivery. That's not a terrible deal (but far from "great") and given that wording of the offer suggested something for free, it should be obvious why people are annoyed that they have to spend money in order to get those items.
 
Nice and sunny if a little colder than the past few days today, but time to try and improve on the 27 mile solo jaunt last week later on tonight! :)

Are you logged in to your account using the same email address as you used to register for the offer?

Oh damn. I signed up to the offer with @gmail. My login is @hotmail. I'll try changing my email in my account and see if I have any better luck.


Am I just being a big girl's blouse when it comes to the temperature? Okay, I have just come back from 32 degrees Milan, but I was freezing tonight!!!
 
Yeah on the TT bike I had skinsuit and pointy hat, tonight I didn't. Would have all contributed but with it being a headwind on the fastest bit of the course position would have cost me the most time.

Not sure if I have the pace for that shenanigans ;)

Was gonna do the Tour de Loughborough route but cut it short as I wasn't really feeling it, bit cold and windy towards the end!

I am thinking of the chain gang tomorrow though, is there two groups? A quick one and a steady one?

You've got enough pace, there was a fairly large turnout tonight with times from 22:XX to 30:XX.

Chaingang should have two groups, if enough people turn up. If you go I'll make sure I'm there.
