Re Oliver,Hi Oliver!Glad you contacted us, pleased to say we will be riding in the forest this comming weekend on both days, for the first time I sugest you join us for the Sunday ride leaving South Woodford at 10.00am. Saturdays can be a little bit more hectic, look forward to meeting up. Please bring cycle helmet, gloves & glasses. We normally get back about 2pm with a stop at the tea hut at High Beech for a hot drink and some food. Regards, Mike. (Mick the Greek) |

hi thanks for replying. how long a cycle from fulham is this, looks about 15 miles? so glasses are essential? Im good for gloves, a helmet, a semi-waterproof jacket, and my jean shorts are pretty kick ass. Im worried about the temporary flats i have on my spd pedals as they offer no grip but i cannot afford the shoes yet. Know of anywhere i can get cheap glasses? Ill check out evans Friday as it's almost next door.
i cant wait, i'm sick of my only excitement being avoiding traffic in central. Oliver |
