Herne Hill this Saturday?

Does anyone fancy the intermediate session at Herne Hill this Saturday?  It's from 10.00 - 12.00. I'm assuming they'll let us on to the intermediate after our club session there the other day but if…Continue

That's a shame as we must have just missed you as five of us arrived at the Green, looked at the road again and then started to have second thoughts.  I headed home to the boredom of the turbo (after mistakenly just popping back into bed…

Yes please.  Selective memory means that all I remember from last year is the sunshine and waffles.

Tour of Flanders 2012: 31 March and 1 April at Belgium

March 31, 2012 from 6pm to 7pm
Chance for 8 to 12 Avanti members to join me on a trip to Bruges. You can ride the full 265km route on the Saturday (or the more sensible 150km), and then watch the pro's on the Sunday. I organise transport and accomodation. Will only cost about £150, including travel and two nights accommodation. Please register an RSVPSee More

I am quite keen but thought I should let others have a go who haven't yet had the pleasure of having numb hands for a fortnight.  If there’s still a place going I’ll gladly have it.  As a non-driver though it might not…

If Michael takes the bribe and gives Avanti guys a shove I reckon we can edge out Bigfoot next year.    Good luck to all of you doing Yorks on Sunday.

I should have mentioned I was out with Bigfoot so their speedy group have had a practice run now.  Looks like it's going to be a great event with some healthy club rivalry.

Went up the hill for the first time today, not sure exactly where we'll start but I can see how you could easily overcook it on the first bit only for your heart to sink once you've turned the bend and see quite a long hill ahead.....

Torrential rain split the group about 15 miles out from Rye (we thought the other group were soft and had turned for home when in fact they were wisely sheltering under a tree for a few minutes) but we happily regrouped after leaving different cafes…

Great weather for it and really liked the reserve cafe we chose.  Nothing like treacle tart and custard to fuel the return leg.  The group broke up a bit and, as always, I was clueless about how to get back to the green so I ended up…

We made it to Rye but chose cappuccinos with little biscuits at the posh cafe over bacon butties.  Although nice, I think that decision did me in as I completely died on the way home, carrot cake just doesn't cut the mustard compared to…

Bad luck Ollie about the puncture as you did seem to be coasting round quite easily.   I wasn't finding the going as easy as Ollie but was managing to hang on in the bunch.  My chain did indeed drop off going up the hill so…

Well done Bill. I managed a couple of hours on the mountain bike in the snowy fields. Didn't go too hard, just enjoyed the frozen trails before they all turned to mud again.

Sundays Off Road ride

Four of us braved the weather to follow the thames river path. Jenny,Glyn, Steve and myself much trepidation at the start after watching Groups of tourest slipping and sliding on the black ice around the Wolfe statue in Greenwich park. We never got as far as Eirth marsh as promised, gave in to the cold and turned back at Trip Cock point and warmed up in the Cafe at the Thames Barrier. 20 miles I add a bit extra on the way home through Castle woods total 30 miles.See More
