Re: The Cycling Thread
I'll go with the majority date wise. I'm on call for work, one week on, one week off so it makes trying to plan things a complete nightmare.
I would suggest date wise that we stay away from the AR and also the Olympic dates ( especially as I have tickets for the Olympic track cycling event ) If its a social reasonably paced ride, I think you'd get a decent number of people. As long as it doesnt turn into a flat out sprint / train gang / interval session it'll be fine I think.

 I'll hide in your rucksack if that's ok?Also the same for me, avoid AR & Olympic dates. What would be cool, would be an Org trip to the Alps next year. I know its a big ask, but our trip to the Pyrenees was something else this year. September would be a good month to look at or May or June. I'm already saving my pennies

Re: The Cycling Thread
End of June would be ideal for me - I'd want to do a social ride yes. Depending how many people will volunteer to help, potentially organise two groups one 'slow' and one 'moderate' (no fast group because for a social ride there's no point pelting it off!)
This way we can accomodate anyone with a mountain bike but still keep the roadies happy. I'll do some research and get back to you. Mavi - alps trip would suit me but I am a heavy lump and so I will be moaning day and night up those mountains... |

Re: The Cycling Thread
I did my first 40 mile this w/end! I was bit tried after that...
Where about you thinking of going? I should be a lot fitter hopefully come the summer. Beer/Wine is good, long as I'm not riding the next day. |

I would be on for a social ride somewhere, but already have an alps trip in the works for early June.

Re: The Cycling Thread
I'm not sure of destination yet. I've not been cycling that long. Knowing where people are who want to come may influence it.
Beer will certainly be involved John. Wouldn't want to disappoint those of us job are alcoholics |

Cotswolds may be good, pretty central, enough hills to be interesting without being too strenuous and I've been told the pubs there sell beer. |
