A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

When?
Saturday 17th January (same day as the club dinner) from 10:30am - 11:00am

Where?

From the top of Russ Hill (near the hotel) to as far as you can get along the bottom.

Is that the hotel venue of the diner? Or somewhere along the clubrun?

Let me know and I'll start removing oil and seals in all my bearings.

I think you should also specify whether TT equipment is ok - it's not all about weight but also aerodynamics :D

Oh and also if the tUnnelCI will disallow "superman" type positions ...


ANYTHING GOES - within reason i.e.no electric motors or turning wheel by hand :shock:

Do we have to let you know we're coming or just turn up on the day?

Russ Hill is [url=http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Russ+Hill,+Charlwood,+Horley,+Surrey+RH6,+United+Kingdom&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=19.458573,39.375&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FQ10DAMdQkv8_w&ll=51.148017,-0.234919&spn=0.04022,0.076904&z=14]here[/url] Sylv. On CR, Up towards Rusper and then turn off down Partridge rather than on to Rusper.

I won't be turning up on a TT bike with my pointy helmet. Weight as well Sylv, you could fill a rucksack with bricks to start and then as it levels off chuck the rucksack to the side of the road :lol: .

So is anyone doing the clubrun then going directly instead of stopping at the café?

Or is that what everyone is doing!

hey Sylv, the cafe is at the bottom of the hill, so it wouldn't be "instead" of the cafe stop, just a slight detour to get in a few extra miles :D

Not sure this is one for me,but as you dont have to pedal I might ride "side saddle" as I reckon it'll make me more aero :?
