I just remembered my mate from London is here the night before. Knowing those okes I'm not sure I'll be home by the time the ride starts, so let me skip this one

[Myra]

I'd like to join, please. Luckily there are 2 weeks to work on my climbing.

 

Did you leave me off the list accidentally or is this a hint that I'm not welcome.

[DR ◣◢]

I am not fit to appear in public let along organise group rides

 

Sorry about that. List updated.

 

Anybody else I offended?

If last week is anything to go by, you're great at organising group rides. I was just teasing.

Really looking forward to this ride.

Yes, I find bikes without gears offensive...jk On a serious note though, this ride sounds a bit hectic elevation and distance wise for anyone who hasnt even done a full sesh at NF, I just hope everyone who's signed up understands that.

I think a big part of the day is going to be a mental as well as physical experience.

 

It's amazing how strong the human mind can be. I firmly believe that once you detach your mind from the pain you can achieve great things.

 

That and never look at the top of the climb. 2 meters in front of your wheel is far enough

If I can get to the base then we wil all get to the top together.... thats the great thing about a group ride -motivation. No - one gets left behind and tht feeling of accomplishment will be incredible. Its time in the saddle, distance and hard work. But we wil have coffee stops along the way. One hill at a time... together. (And I will bring that little bracelet that unravels to make a 10m tow rope.... just in case!
