Hi, I can't quite remember but I may have been one of the leaders on this ride. I can't help you as a ride buddy but I thought I should warn you that you are posting your mobile publicly by putting it here

I got an Elite Suito a few weeks ago. I was a bit stupid with the spacers to start with but once I actually followed the instructions it was very easy to set up and it works very well and I'm very happy with it.

+AdamS I've just noticed 2 drop outs above if you want to join us still. If not, see you soon hopefully

Hello

this is just a reminder that you have signed up for tomorrow's intro ride. If you can no longer make it, please drop out above, both to free up places for anyone else and so we know how many to expect. And bear with us if we are not 100% as its the Club Christmas party tonight!

ps for two of you - you are names not numbers! Changing from user012345 will make admin much easier if you do decide to join

Welcome. Unfortunately it looks like Saturday will have some very English weather but I hope you will enjoy our ride. We have many members of different nationalities and one of our members +ColinFisher spends much of his year living in Italy and has twinned our club with his Italian club so I hope we can make you feel at home.

I don't think Alec will be there but I and 3 other club members will be. Feel free to ask any questions in advance.

The weather forecast isn't looking great but the ride will go ahead regardless. Please all come suitably equipped. If you have to drop out, because of the weather or for any other reason, please let us know by cancelling your attendance as above, as we may not need the full complement of volunteers.

We meet in the park and there is no shelter. I normally turn up a bit early for these rides and if it's pouring down you may find me in The Spoke which is on the other side of the road, a bit closer to Archway, but I will be at the park for 8.30am as advertised.

The benches just near the cat, i.e. just off Holloway Road.

Yes, assuming you are a member. It looks like it's filling up

Yes, it's 8am and make yourselves known as prospective members.

As one of the leaders of this session, we're looking forward to meeting you and riding with you on Saturday. I know some of you signed up a while ago so, if you can no longer make it, please free up your space. Also, if your username is a number, changing it to something like your real name would make processing a subsequent application to join much easier. And there are still places available if you want to bring a friend

Or you could join the group skills session this Saturday https://forum.islington.cc/events/4961/#­comment14848056 - 5 spaces left

It's worth watching out in case people drop out closer to the time or you could join a Group Skills session instead. There are still 2 places (only!) left on https://forum.islington.cc/events/4842/#­comment14800585 and lots on https://forum.islington.cc/events/4844/#­comment14757295

Well done everyone who came along this morning. I hope you enjoyed it and hope to see you on a ride soon.

Hi, looking forward to meeting you all tomorrow. Should be perfect weather. Please do change your username to something more like your real name. If you decide to join, this makes processing your membership easier. You are a name not a number!

Best if you change your username to something more like your real name. If you decide to join, this makes processing your membership easier. Otherwise just turn up on time and hope the sunshine lasts

I think you need to inform the membership secretary (+SallyB) for insurance purposes and make yourself known as a guest tomorrow.

You can join this as one of your 3 "try before you buy/join" rides. You have to do this or the intro ride before you can be accepted as a member.

Glad to see that 7 of you have signed up. Hopefully we will get some more as these sessions are often fully booked. The weather forecast looks a bit damp. In case you were wondering, the session will go ahead but do bring suitable clothing, especially as we will be standing around and talking a bit and cycling relatively slowly. Do cancel your attendance if you can't make it and please try and make your username something like your real name as that helps with admin if you decide to join. Any questions in advance, please ask.

intro rides are generally the first Saturday of the month. Otherwise try group skills on different Saturdays or Thursday evenings

I have my Android phone, but no Garmin, with me and just went through the steps and I think it should work.

I have an older Garmin (810) and can get routes onto it from my phone. Download from RwGPS to your phone and the open with Gamin Connect and you should be able to Bluetooth it to the Garmin

If your work laptop recognises the Garmin, download the file onto it directly

Depends partly on what you mean by "normal bike" and mainly how fit you are. The key thing is are you (as above) "Capable of riding 25 miles at an average speed of at least 12 mile per hour, with several steep hills and only brief stops." This ride does a loop out of London so its only fair on the group as a whole if we set a minimum speed. So you would need to be considerably fitter to manage the ride on a full suspension mountain bike or a folder than on a road bike but you certainly don't have to have a road bike.

They are generally on the first Saturday of the month - see https://forum.islington.cc/microcosms/13­05/
