We'll meet up with Scarper at the car park at 10:00

Today wet ride http://ridewithgps.com/trips/3488244
Wednesday evening ride http://ridewithgps.com/trips/3472849

So we'll be quite a lot tomorrow then!

Well i can hang around the tail end, i have the route for tomorrow so anyone who don't keep up can catch up for bacon no need for the faster guys to hang around.

Guys,

My first direct train to Chingford arrives at 10.30 so I won't be able to join you. Have fun & enjoy the ride!
I will come later in the day, should we somehow cross our paths I'll be the solitary rider on a blue Transalp bike, wearing a fuchsia shirt.

All the best! Thanks for opening the thread.

Hi guys,

I had a blast today up untill the point my chain lock up behind the chain guard and i lost the oomph to keep on .
partially my fitness too
But on the rosey side i got further than before and i will keep trying because i would like to actually do the return.
if anyone can point out anything i am doing wrong then please fell free to pm me because after all i am LEARNING .


But thanks to (i think it was pete) whom helped me with the chain

Another beautiful day in the forest. Thanks Martin for the leading. Treails dried a lot compared to yesterday. Muddy puddles easy to avoid. Who is the young fell on the rigid riding across the bigger ones? Mad!
And nice to meet stormy, I think, you have another Lynskey.

Summer tyres on!

You have plenty of trains arriving before 10am from Liverpool Street, which is a short ride from Bermondsey.

Well i just wanna say a big thanks for the ride today, was great (even though i was knackered ) I can safely say, even with the route, Rossy and me would still be riding around the forest, probably in circles. Nice to meet some new faces, and am looking forward to the next time i can get down there.


On a side note, did anything happen when your chain managed to get over the plastic guard? hit a big root or stone maybe? or did it just jump there? If its the latter then that rear mech needs resetting i would say. There is no way it should travel that far past 1st. Back to your favorite bike shop

I would say just jumped there.
yeah back to shop
AGAIN!!

Really enjoyed the ride today. Cant wait for the next one!

Yes a good ride today... full of slippy roots, makes a change after last Sundays dusty ride.

As always good to meet some new faces

Javi... yes it's Stormy with the twin bike

Really enjoyed todays ride. Needed it. Hadnt been on a bike properly in ages. My old GT did me proud, very happy with it. Had a few dodgy moments on the roots though, and my forearms got a real workout!

More tired than usual today, needed a lay down, and some more cake

I now know for next time. My phone app was showing me a total nonsense, checked on national rail and yep you're right, 4 trains every hour. Anyway, I went alone in the afternoon, not as fun as in a group, plus I was stopping form time to time to check with Google Maps. Glad to hear you had a good time. I hope to get to join you next time.

Ha, just like London buses, you dont see a Lynskey around for months and then 2 turn up on the same day....and I still missed it.
