Just to let you all know ,riding again this weekend 10.00 am start from bike shed (shop) in George lane, as I have said before residents parking is not in force over the weekend so parking is available in residents bays if you are coming by car. As rides are getting quicker owing to drier conditions routes may now be more variable, especialy at the start. D'ont always asume we will go via the underpass. I understand we might even see mukesh this weekend, somehow I think he will be keeping his eye on the people at the back, just as a small postscript to last Sundays ride I am pleased to report that once again I was able to outsprint Mick the Brick through the Snaresbrook Swoosh, still wondering how. Hope to see more of you this weekend, Beastway is getting nearer!

Thinking about trying to join you guys for a ride on Sunday (after an aborted attempt and waiting at an underpass a couple of weeks ago).

What sort of time do rides tend to finish as I need to be back at a reasonable(ish) time.

cheers, ian

Normaly rides get back about 2-2.30pm. But you can always break off at anytime, maybe at the tea hut at High Beech, which we would get to about 12.15 to 12.30 this again assumes that we do our usual ride.

Sounds good - will attempt to get to the Bike Shed for 10am. The only slight spanner in the works might be that I am supposed to be doing a fairly long ride around Leith Hill on Saturday.

I will post on here when I get back on Saturday afternoon to confirm so that you guys are not hanging around if I am not going to make it.

cheers, ian

Hello folks,

i'll be doing my usual early sunday moring sprint to high beech and back taking in loughton and chingford on route. Will be passing through the waterworks underpass at 9.20ish and back to Whipps X for 1.20pm. I think it could be a solo jaunt this wkend so all comers welcome. Post if you want me to wait anywhere.

Dan

Would love to be joining you on one of the weekend jaunts but no riding for me this Sat/Sun since my Chilterns' stack last Saturday! The scabs are forming nicely but the dislocated finger has left too much swelling and soreness around the ligaments to hold a handlebar properly... Sad

I am DEAD jealous of you all, I don't know how Cazza managed so long without her Forest Fix!!

Enjoy your riding,

Gary

Hi dan

Doing an early one with Pete, starting from Snaresbrook car park at 0900, so quite likely to catch up with you at Waterworks at 0920. don't hang about if we're not there, tho. Would be good to you a new route. Never done the Loughton stretch.
