Thanks @The_Other_Rob.

Thanks a lot @Martine. I'll see what they are like when I go in. I was wondering actually (one for @The_Other_Rob perhaps?), it seems I still can't post in other forums - perhaps that's a setting you need to do manually and that just hasn't happened yet? No hurry at all if so (don't interrupt your bank holiday weekend for it!), just checking I'm not being stupid.

Just joined. Selected size 2 jersey but right on the border according to the size guide so suspect it might be a touch tight based on the above - hopefully can try a 3 as well when I pop into Mosquito? Looking forward to being a member of your esteemed club, having come along to a couple of Saturday morning sessions and enjoyed the workout.

Thanks all - really enjoyed that today, will be back again. Who knew pedalling round and round in circles could be enjoyable? Thanks for making me so welcome.

Thanks a lot @Orestis - that sounds doable, 30kph is roughly a 9 minute lap time (if I haven't got confused) which is very achievable. Phew! See you there. Sam

Thanks! I'm still a touch apprehensive though - what sort of time do you guys generally do a loop of the park in, in the slower group?

Hi hi - quick question - how fast is the 8am Regents park ride? I am thinking of popping along in the morning but would rather not fall off the back too badly!

Thanks @Cy - no worries at all. I'll be back (and in the meantime getting in some hill sessions!).

Thanks @Martine. It's OK though - I know my way about (and, ahem, always have my iPhone with me!). And yep, I had a good day thanks - been a while since I've looked forward to a hot shower so much. Hope you're feeling better now - maybe see you another time.

There was only one group today (not many showed up - I think most preferred to skip the drowning!).

To the intrepid few who made it out today - just to say sorry for losing you (I was the newbie who fell off the back early on). I was only 100m behind you but got stopped by the red light at the junction by the big Tescos, and by the time I got moving again you were out of sight. I'm not sure if you went a different way at the next junction or if you were just too quick for me to catch you! I pushed on for a while hoping to find you then gave up and went for a ride on my own, though not for that long - conditions were pretty shocking! Hope you all had a good (and safe) ride.

Cheers,

Sam

Thanks very much for this advice @Martine, really appreciated. It's reassuring to know I won't be shunned for my lack of mudguards - let's hope it's not too disgusting tomorrow though.

On which ride to join, thanks for these helpful thoughts too. The reason I had thought of the B group was that it sounded like the C rides are quite short and I normally like to go out for longer. Perhaps I'll have a chat to folk there in the morning and see how I feel.

Thanks again!

Hi folks - potential new member here, planning to come along to a club ride tomorrow morning (probably the B ride based on the descriptions - I've done a few 100km+ rides including an audax and a sportive last weekend where I averaged 14-15mph on the 80 mile course, but am fairly new to group riding). One thing I wanted to check given the weather forecast - you don't expect mudguards, do you? I'm sure I saw some mention of it somewhere on this forum, but I don't have any...

Thanks!

Sam
