Myself, Dave, Johnny and our mate James went to Richmond Park for a few laps this morning. It was COLD but the sun was out, good day for a ride followed by a hot drink, plus I spotted Fabian Cancellara heading out of the park as we were going in. Here are a few mobile phone shots that James took.

2 CommentsCambridge Take 2
Posted in: Rides, The 5th Floor
Myself and Alex made another assualt on cambridge this weekend- determined to make it after Matt’s wheel incident in Track or Treat 2. We followed the same route which despite doing it in the pitch black last time we managed to do largely from memory. We set off at 7am and were back home for lunch. While we made it to Cambridge my phone battery didnt which meant i got stats up to the 48 mile marker. Its a great ride with some real possibilities for high speeds….

No CommentsTrack or Treat 2 Report
Posted in: Rides, The 5th Floor
Track or Treat 2 was a great success, setting of from trafalgar square we had 17 riders but prompltly lost Shane and his wife due to some double punctures. After we navigated east through London it was a great ride, great pace, great people. It’s amazing that there are consistently new faces every time we host a ride. In true 5th floor style our coverage is pretty rubbish, so here’s a before and after shot with some graphs to bore you. My iphone ran out of juice 41 miles in so i couldnt track the total ride. Top speed was 40.3 mph acording to someones computer which down a pitch black counry road was pretty gnarly. We made it 11 miles outside of Cambridge before a run in between a hed3 and b43 meant the ride was over for Matt (the hed3 won!) rather than leave him in the trenches we rode to Royston and took the last train home. Quik thanks to Shane and Tokyo Fixed for the loan of the exposure lights. I’ve got some go-pro footage that i’ll piece together into something resembling an edit! Cheers all.

No CommentsCastle to Castle Video
Posted in: Events, Rides, The 5th Floor, Videos
Remember our ride from Castle to Castle in June? Well, the whole summer should have been like that day. It was perfect – sun, cycling, friends, beer and a dip in the Thames. Take a look…
The London to Paris video took me 10 months to finish, Castle to Castle only took 4… I’m getting quicker!

3 CommentsTrack or Treat Two
Posted in: Rides, The 5th Floor
Following the success of last year’s epic Halloween ride, there is to be a return of Track or Treat. This Halloween we will be meeting at 4pm Trafalgar Square and riding to Cambridge. Thought a repeat of last year’s midnight departure time was a bit unnecessary, so leaving at around 4pm should get us to Cambridge in time for a beer and the last train home. It’s gonna be one hell-of-a-ride!

2 Comments5th Floor London – Amsterdam trip edit.
Posted in: Rides, The 5th Floor, Videos
Here is our go-pro footage from London- Amsterdam 12 -15th August compacted into 3 minutes or so for your viewing pleasure. Big thanks to Rob for his editing efforts. The tune probably needs some explanation, this euro trash somehow became our trip anthem.
