Hi Matt

That sounds like a great idea. I'm trying to go out most weekends at the moment,
aiming to build up my knee strength and stamina so I can keep up with the ox
city. This can be either saturday or Sunday and company would make it far more
rewarding. Normally I
dont plan brilliantly but just go for it if the suns out..
As regards the Belgium event, I'm all ears (and again, hopefully, knees).
Defintely an exciting thing to consider working towards.

Thanks for your email

Tom

Hi Tom and others,

We should arrange some rides from Oxford at some point
that people can just turn up for and split into fast/
slow groups or just stick together. I will try out the
Ox City Road Club Sunday runs.

With my friends I often cycle down to The White Horse
Hill or to Brill. There are a lot of choices for
riders, with CTC rides and various racing clubs.

I am thinking about going to the the Belgium event on
April 6th and other events that members have
mentioned, including the charity events, but feel that
I would get left behind on this particular classics
jaunt- unless perhaps I had fifty bottles of energy
drink or maybe enough Leffe would give me a turbo
boost?!

I am not slow by any means, but I haven't raced in
years, and come from a mainly mountain bike cross
country and touring background!

Matt
