Big carpark 10am.
Give me a heads up if you fancy it as I was late last week as I thought I was riding solo

Alright mate, ill be up for this, what sort distance are you thinking?

Sorry adam... I like the unannounced, stalker lurking behind you in the woods approach.....

Nutsy is your cube up and running I've got a bb but not fitted it yet the bearing was so seized the bb cup had unscrewed:)I'm pretty sure my pace was effected from the start
12-15 miles it's hard going at the moment.

Yah.. cube is back in the game and the shiny new chain and cassette is ready to... rust?

need to do a bit of fettleing tommorow to remove the play from the rear wheel which i only just noticed, and needs a new headset but who needs to steer anyway... even with a solid headset it will be safer than the other bike.. how i didn't crash and burn on sunday I don't know.. by the end of the ride i got better braking by going onto short grass than i did from the brakes... even at walking pace on a flat road it was better to just jump off...

Sorry guys won't be able to make it tommorow, my shoulder is knackered.

I'll be there.. did 35 miles today though so take it easy on me!!

Sorry chaps, I am about to do a solo this time as I need to be back by 12 for another kids b'day party...in Braintree!!!. I hope its the last of the year. I really need to get my other half driving. I may see you around the woods, I will be cycling from Chelmsford at 8.30 via Graces Walk (little Baddow) so maybe we bump into each other while I am on my way back.

Adam, are you still up for the Thetford Series on 26th Jan? I need to get few rides before then.

Yep, will be over there again this am, see you in a bit

Yay 2 rides 2 walks home yay . Bit of a spill in lingwood but carried on not realising id bent the mech hanger and the second week in a row had to walk out of Blake's wood rear mech upgrade

Bad luck man.. curse of blakes wood. You still beat us to the car.. was hard going today.. too much mud!

Oh mate, what a bad luck. Yeah, the Blakes have put a spell on your bike...or is it the bike desperately asking for upgrades. Not what you want in January I bet. When I went out at 8.30 I was pleased to see the mud frozen. Trust me, it was not fun at all, bumpy ride is an understatement. I have to say, it was quite nice going out so early. The chill made me go faster.

I miss early rides whytey I used to do 20 miles+by ten ride up to Danbury then a loop and home

I know you have your hands full but whenever you are up for an early ride again let me know. I suspect this will become normal for most when the summer heat kicks in...if.

Yep, mud, mud and more mud today and I finished off with a tumble along past the golf course of all places ...
