BH monday ride

Postby Ian A4size » Tue Apr 27, 2004 11:18 am

Any accers up for a longish ride on monday , Paul Brown has a route in mind, I dont know where it is as yet. I am up for it and I think monty is as well.
I guess Marek wont be as he is racing on sunday, I will probably go and cheer our cat 3s on after marshall duties at the TT in horsham.

Time and route to be advised

Details as follows

CAFPA: the Kent Hills Bank Holiday Monday (3/5) ride departing 9.20 from CSS.

This Bank Holiday, 3 May, a few ACC team mates are stretching their respective legs with an extended ride.

We are going to do the Huw Williams-designed CAFPA (Croydon-Ashdown Forest- Penshurst-Addiscombe) run. Copies of the original map, produced by our legendary extended ride organiser (Huw of course) will be distributed on the day.

Thats got be one of the longest recovery rides in history, ended up doing 71 miles all told. At least the majority of the ride was in the dry. Thanks to all for waiting for me up when I dropped out the back on the climbs. It was great fun, thanks for organising it.

Yes indeed...a great ride. Thanks to Paul for providing the maps (would have helped if one of us could map read!). Shame about the rain. By the time I got home I had water running out of cracks I did not reaslise I had.

Good training for the Ladies Mile. The hill out of Groombridge should be fun in a race (!).

Did Paul return safely?. We lost him on the last stretch!
Cheers

Every one home safe and wet. I was so cold on the last few miles, that puddle the car went through really soaked every last crack, memo:- must read map before, probably would have helped, by the way I think we missed a lot of the climbs, but the ones we found made up fot it,

I was driving back from the Tonbridge Triathlon in the driving rain thanking the lord that I did not do that ride with you guys yesterday. The weather was horrendous. I thought of you less and less though as I tucked into my 20oz rib eye steak, 2pt jug of Stella and belly buster ice cream at the Smith and Western on top of box hill.

Cheers

Ahhh ... triathlon recovery.

I remember finishing a local tri that finished across from a Dairy Queen (another fattening US chain). 1 Full Meal Deal later and I had to be dragged to the car.

Ahhh ...
