 rainbows and blue sky We were all looking forward to a dry and dusty weeks in the Alps…it may not have worked out quite like that but in true Cakeriders’ style we managed to ride in the mud, break bikes, have stupid falls and eat nowhere near enough cake. We did manage to have fun doing all of these things though! read the rest of Alps 2010 report »»  mmm cakes Title: Cake Quest 2010 Location: Walton-on-the-Hill Community Centre, Breech Lane, Tadworth, Surrey KT20 7SN Description: The perfect event for any Cakeriders with a road bike, unless you want to do the off-road “fairy cake” ride. Find out more on road.cc or have a look at the event website. So anyone interested??? Start Time: 09:00  bars and wildlife Combination of not getting out of work until 4pm and new bike fever meant a slightly different training ride today.  lots of riders waiting at London Fields 2010 saw the second time some cakeriders entered the Dunwich Dynamo. For those who don’t know this is a 120mile ride overnight ride from Hackney to Dunwich. This semi organised ride sees around 100 folk decide for no sensible reason to ride through the night to the seaside.

Slightly changeable weather that included bright sunshine and thunderstorms made it a lot more akin to likely conditions for the Kielder 100 in September. Starting from Dorking the plan was to ride around 40miles to get used to being in the saddle plugging away for a number of hours. Title: pre-alps shakedown ride ———————————- So come along and check that bikes are working properly – gives you a week to get any last minute bits and bobs or replace things that break whilst riding…  taking a break on the south downs way This ride was supposed to happen on Saturday but delays in getting out of London and stifling heat put this off until Sunday morning. This is a classic old skool xc route that was in mbr way back in May 2004, see I knew keeping all of those old routes would come in useful one day. read the rest of north of worthing »» Title: riding the Long Mynd Tried to ride this route on Boxing Day but failed due to freezing temperature and ice so going to give it a go in mid-summer instead. Have a look at the Long Mynd map for the ride we have done in the past. Oh and come along… |
