Sorry we do not forward speculative requests to members.

Could I just say that a 60km TT is quite a long one

You might be better to focus on 10 or 25-mile events, as they are more popular distances.

As a passionate cyclist, why don't you join us as a guest on one of our club rides and see if you can talk some of us into your project?

The front and back

Go check it out and try it on at Mosquito Bikes, 123 Essex Road, N1 2SU - they have all the sizes, from S up to XL (size 2-size 6)

If you decide you want a jersey, we can upgrade your membership for the extra 15 pounds. Email me [email protected] about that

You have to sleep in it and we do check.

+mlgt it is £25 to join, but for £40 you get the jersey thrown in - before I process your payment, would you rather have the jersey option?

You have it exactly right +mlgt

Annabel, welcome

I have to email the nice people at Microcosm and they have to trigger your account. That can take 24 hours.

I'll sort the official welcome email and accept your payment on Tuesday.

OK?

+Velocio can you move this conversation to In the saddle, please.

@Stevek make sure you are using the email you gave me when you joined the club, not a variation.

Hi Rachel welcome to Islington. Why don't you come along and do our shorter/slower group while you build up your strength and confidence. We meet at Whttington Park, Holloway Rd entrance, for an 8.30am depart on Sundays. Our rides are friendly and we have a nobody gets left behind policy. Hope to see you soon!

It will be the standard Thursday route:

If you're new to Islington Cycling Club, you can still look at all of our Microcosm forum and you may take part in conversations in the Clipping in section, which is there to answer FAQs.

You can see all the rest of the site, but it's only members that can post in the In the saddle, Out of the saddle and On the rivet sections.

The only exception is The clubhouse, which is a members only area.

The main thing is to come along to our club rides and see if you enjoy riding with us. You can come to up to three rides as a guest.

If you like it, join up!

Please ask any questions you may have here.
