Edit: The entry gates/pens related to each rider's race number/position at the start will open at 11am, so we should look to be there or thereabouts at that time, to make sure we're each in the correct place approipriate to our race numbers.

Just having a quick read through the race book and it says that registration closes at 10am on the Sunday (opens at 6am). So we're going to have at least 2hrs to kill/warm up/drink coffee before race time.

Posted this conversation on Strava as well and there are a few other guys up for meeting/grabbing a coffee beforehand.

So plenty of us are off to the Tour of Cambridgeshire this weekend. Is there a plan to try and get together on the start line and ride in a group, pro peleton style, or shall we just pick each other up in the bunch?

A little taster from last night's session.

So these are the ones I've signed up to*. Basically they appear to be the closest ones to us:

*Doesn't mean I'll get accepted on them but I've done my bit at least!

P.S. Probably best to ping me an email direct if you're interested.

hello.matthallett@gmail.com

Anyone interested in buying a brand new Louis Garneau Course helmet (black, medium) for £99?

• http://road.cc/content/review/90006-louis-garneau-course-helmet
  
• Currently £129.99 RRP at Evans
  
  

Let me know and (if you live in East London) I'm happy to personally deliver said helmet to you over the weekend.

Great...just need ONE more name and I'll be able to submit 4 teams...and then cross fingers that we all get accepted!

@Glenn, I think Hub Velo sells CCH jerseys...that right @MikeMooney??

Only a couple of days left to get your name down.

Currently got 13 names on the list, so need 3 more in order to submit 4 teams of 4.

Doc is fixed...get your name down!

Hey all,

I had a chat to Keir this evening and the easiest thing is for me to just sort it out - so please read the other message (http://cch.microcosm.app/conversations/264128/) for details on how to get your name on the list.

Had a chat to Keir and the easiest thing to do is manage the club entry myself!

So, if you want to enter the Club Challenge, please put your details in this Google Doc.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FrlatGzdTgpPqfDJ8tUvkCYn7G8yhM4FwVQQ3791OP4/edit?usp=sharing

I've tried to cover as much of the T&Cs from the organisers in the doc but please also check your own availability, eligibility and liability, as per the email you've probably all received (and if you haven't received an email then check up on the RideLondon website). This is important because if there are issues further down the line then your whole team will lose its place.

Deadline to get your name in the Google Doc is FRIDAY 20 MARCH. I'll then submit the application over the weekend, in time for the main 23 March deadline.

Cheers,

Matt

Likewise. Count me in.

I'm seeing Keir on Tuesday at track training, so will ask him about it then.

I'm track racing till 26 March but keen to then get on the road for a few events when the road season kicks in proper.

This'd be my first season racing in anger, so no idea as to what/when/how. But keen to get involved. Would also like to do some TTs this year as well.

P.S. I know a bunch of 5th Floor guys who are also signed up and keen to get a group working together on the day - http://www.the5thfloor.co.uk/

Great. I tried to sign up for both stages but the TT was sold out. But I'm all in for the road race.

Would be good to organise ourselves beforehand so we know who's riding. Maybe even do a few training rides beforehand?!?

This is a thing! - http://www.tourofcambridgeshire.com/

Who's in?

Need to get new tubs glued onto my track wheels and, frankly, I'm a bit crap at it.

I know I can hand the wheels/tubs into places like Cycle Surgery or SigmaSport and they'll do it for me for £20 a pop but I thought I'd just ask if anyone knows of anyone who loves nothing better than gluing tubs for fun.

I know of Dougie down at Herne Hill who glues them for a tenner a pop. Just wondered if there was a Dougie-double in and around East London??

My confirmation email just calls it "Accreditation Stage 4".

Just had a quick look on the website and I think all the places for 16 Oct are now booked up.

From what I can see there are still spaces on the 12.30pm Sunday sessions through November. Maybe go for that one instead?!?

Yup...thought so. So we were riding together yesterday.

Ben, go via the Velodrome, not via CCH. The 16 Oct session is through them, not a session planned by the club.

Ian, if you can switch to 16/10 then great. Which group were you in last night?

So I've gone ahead and booked in for the session on 16 October (next Thursday) at 9pm. There were still 7 slots available, so suggest you get in there asap.

And James, yes...just contact the velopark and book your level 1 session. Once you pass that you can do level 2, 3, etc.

I only ever get them sent via email. Harry sends them out but only to the people who have expressed an interest.

Check your spam/promotions folders if you're using webmail. All the CCH emails I was receiving were going that way for me till I fixed it.

Hey James...here's a few rides you could follow (distance specified is the loop from Epping Rd...as opposed to the full ride distance from my house!):

40km - http://www.strava.com/activities/194213680
50km(ish) - http://www.strava.com/activities/190990046
70km - http://www.strava.com/activities/203476751

Hope that helps...Matt

(P.S. And if you get bored with one route, you can always do it in reverse to mix things up. Theydon Bois hill is a very different experience going up or going down!)

Don't suppose you're coming to the track training tonight? Keen to bend Keir/Harry's ear on the subject.
