Hi Everyone,
Firstly, as i nearly sued Tony on Sunday with the absolute false advertising for Sundays "leisurely" ride, (especially as i nearly lost my breakfast going up the cow and calf) i thought i better post in the fast ride. I considered Moderate but then realised Greg, Simon and the Mantis would probably be out so what was the point!!!
Anyone fancy riding on Sat morning? Reality is we will probably meet around 08:30 at POW (weather permitting) kick each other in for 3 hours then home for 12:00 ish for lunch and a warm bath!
Let me know if anyone is around. happy to flex as needed

Excuse me.............
but if my memory serves me we tootled around at 16.3mph and........ but for a certain member of the club who will remain nameless, but they weigh about 100 kilos and they don't do "white" in their atire, it would have been a bit slower.
phrases like "come on Brads get around them and up the pace" were uttered by this individual and then the famous "I'm blown.... you boys can leave me and make your own way home... without me !"Which was followed 5 seconds later by a hulk of a figure flying past us on a bike, up the hill from Kirby Overblow to the southern bypass.
Good ride all the same and yes the climb up to the Cow and Calf did blow away the cobwebs.

ha ha ha it was a bit of an emotional roller coaster for me!
Agree Tony, fantastic ride though, felt good to get the cobwebs out! thing is, those dam spiders (read into that porkpie and chocolate spiders!) seem to set a load more each week... one day i hope to be cobweb free
Good to ride with you again, dont make it long until the next time! hope you manage to get into the dragon as a french man!!! makes me sick
Anyone keen for tomorrow then? Possible 9am call from GK

Hi Mike,
Unlikely to make it tomorrow, but will text to confirm in the morning.
Will be out on Sunday for the Xmas ride out though. Are you riding?
