    Hmmm, I am tempted by this. If the weather is good it should be smashing.

    Thanks G. That's a very kind offer.

    I am however trying (but usually failing) to live within my means.

    How much does the price increase by if there's only 6 of us Caspar?

    Also let us know where to send the moneys across to and I'll sort it out this week.

    I am happy to trust you are all coming, so you can pay me over the weekend. The price will remain the same.

    There are two meeting options:
    1) My house which is Mile End Rd, E1 3AR at 1800
    2) Earls Court at 1900

    Does this suit everyone?

    I can't knock off work (soho) until 6 at the earliest.
    Anywhere en route to Earls Court I could meet you?

    Caspar got a climbing lesson from Captain Beer'n'Pies. ;)

    It was a fantastic trip. Not sure how he managed to get that nice weather sorted but he did.

    I think there was 2k of flat road in the 120k on Sat. My legs are toast today. I think I need a wheelchair.

    Thanks everyone involved. Hope to do that again. Remember to put me down for the all-girls trip Caspar..

    Oh and did you email "the Aussie girl at breakfast"? :)

    That was an amazing weekend. Great weather and fascinating landscape. Good to meet some new people for road training.

    I am sufficiently broken today. I've never ridden that many hills in one day.

    Would definitely do it again.

    Really good weekend. The weather held up well, got some good miles in. Dartmoor is incredible cycling country. Thanks for organising Caspar.

    However, I do feel my right to not being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment was violated this weekend, and the only thing preventing me from reporting this heinous crime is that I don’t think my shattered legs can carry me to a police station.

    Awesome weekends riding. Hills hills and more hills. Well done to Caspar for organising a great trip with a great route on Saturday. Amazing roads and views.
    Will post up some pics in due course.
    Hippy what was the name of the website you order your powders and potions from again?

    And Brent, i think I have your cold...will try and sell it on the other forum.

    I have got your stuf Hippy, when my legs have recovered enough to go down the six flights of stairs to my van I'll grab them and send them off too you!

    It was a great weekend my legs are really feeling it today! I'll have you next time hippy!

    I'll collect them. You're only minutes from work. Just let me know when.

    stop it, I'm sick with jealousy. still, at least (for now) I don't have to listen to Hippy (or anyone else for that matter) telling me he trounced me on the hills. Only a matter of time I should think.

    Brent's legs arent' that skinny, by the way. You should see mine. Like those of an underfed chicken.

    that's it, i am getting quad implants
    • CommentAuthorcaspar
    • CommentTimeMar 16th 2010
     
    maybe Oct implants would be better.....

    I am begining to understand the full force of his gloating. TBH I was bloody impressed that he could get up those hills so quickly seeing as he is about 15kg heavier than I am. I won't b eso unfit the next time I take him down there, but as the ride leader sometimes I have to go back asn see the tail enders on this hills.
