Thanks for leading today Phil, the driver of that car apologised when I caught him up (still drove like an arsehole though!) Cheers for the company everyone.

Today's 'burst' ended with a bit of a bang! We were descending Rose Hill (+ 40mph) when a driver decided to pull out of the rose and crown hotel straight into the path of Ian Taylor, Ian ended up mounting the kerb and down a grass bank just missing a lamp post, luckily Ian doesn't seem too bad and h...

neilo

The weather isn't looking too bad for tomorrow morning so the burst will be around 40ish miles returning before 12 o clock, like I said above whoever turns up will determine the pace.

neilo

I can help out Ade, don't leave me in charge of a stopwatch though!

neilo

I'll lead another 'burst' this week as its fathers day (weather permitting) depending on who turns up will determine whether it'll be A or B pace, or even a combined A/B.

I'll lead an A run on the 23rd June, destination tbc.

Cheers for today Ben, really enjoyed those early hills.....

Great route mate!

Cheers Ben, see you then.

neilo

What's the distance Sunday Ben please?

Just the one flat on the way back today on a blustery day, Paul Johnson rode to the cafe but didn't actually enter the cafe so doesn't deserve club run points ;;-) Riders were- Phil Elwell Phil Gameson John Hitchcock Paul Johnson Neil Lynch Neil Orchard (leading) Jon Sadler Spencer Tapia Vince Tenna...

The cafe I was going to use isn't open tomorrow so bring a bike lock if you have one.

Another glorious day for riding a bicycle! That was until James Bendle came down pretty hard on a corner just coming out of Kenilworth, luckily a very nice couple had stopped and took James to hospital, pretty bad facial injuries and I've since learnt he has no recollection of how he got there. Ride...

neilo

I'll lead a B run to Kenilworth this week.

10 of us on the A run today which looked like it was going to be a soggy one at first, it rained for about the first half hour then a yellow thing appeared in the sky! Just 1 flat which was when we'd stopped at the cafe and Neil Lynch had a small problem with his mudguard (cable ties to the rescue) ...

neilo

Just the 3 of us braving the cold!
Incident free and only a couple of patches of severe ice,
Riders were-
Phil Elwell
Neil Orchard
Steve Tudor
Cheers fellas.

neilo

I'll copy Phil's decision then, see you at 9.15.

neilo

I'll lead an A run 'burst' depending on the weather, a few main roads to start but should still be quiet, 40ish miles and back before 12.
I'll make a final decision by 8.15 so watch this space!
