Cycle sprints in Dulwich - College Road Toll Gate


Recommended Posts

Cycle Dudes!


This is a new pilot cycle sprint event for all ages / abilities - and in Dulwich too! I'm looking at College Road and into Fountain Drive up to the roundabout. If you are a cyclist, its though! If you are a fit cyclist, its even tougher as its a timed event!


I've chosen this route as its quite, no intersections (some side roads), there are cycle path markings and its long and steep.


Distances: c.800m

Style: Out of the saddle all the way! (I'm tempted to remove seats - but for H&S I had best not!)


** Pilot **

This is adding to the existing fitness groups from jogging, cycling and etc...


Its also a starting point to build upon and keeping you local. If you are into challenges, please respond on the forum or via PM.


If you don't know me, I'm a team builder through fitness - while I train members of the forces such as the SAS, RAF, Naval and Police, I also work with those in remission, stoke survivors, parts of body removed etc, so I am there to cater all.






Best!

Can you do it?!!!


Its local and fairly tough - it would be great to have a monthly spint up hill locally. You can be on a:


* 3-wheeler,

* Brompton,

* Dutch upright bike (sorry, don't know their name),

* montain bike, or

* full on road bike.



To make sense of this, I need a bunch of crazy people to enter so we can get some tabulated times as a 'starting point'


**Charity**

It would be great to raise money and awareness for a charity, and the opportunity to improve your times too!

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
