Pah! you will be fine Dave, we have done a few rides together so I know your capabilities, the little diesel
. Might be a good idea to log your longer fixed rides on here, I will put ours on. Another good reason for choosing this date is that dr_pink is racing a lumpy 100 mile TT the following weekend in North Norfolk.
If I keep my present fitness up and continue to build before the op then get straight on the rollers post op with some kind of support rigged up for the shoulder, I'm hoping that will do it. My only worry is that climbing out of the saddle might be difficult. We shall see.
the little diesel
not fast but just keeps going. I've been posting in your ride today I'll keep doing it, rest weekend next weekend then the Guy Salmon ride on fixed.
I will have a word with the boss and see if she fancies coming over and doing that, I remember we thought about it last year but for whatever reason we didn't.I like that

It starts to get a bit tricky the later we leave it because the TT season is in full swing and doing a 100 mile fixed ride isn't ideal prep for a race the next day or even racing the previous day. I was hoping that by going for a date in May it might give everyone a bit more time to prepare etc. Is that a complete no no then?May 23 onwards would suit me better as well if we can be choosy
See, Colin can afford to do any date because of sheer numbers, in fact it would probably pay to choose an unpopular date! Us, we are a select band [I like the sound of that] and try to please everyone, often ending up pleasing no one. Come on 4F, you know you want to.May is OK for me up until the 23rd. So Tony.................It's a done deal mate, sorry.
Just to bring everyone up to date, I have been given the date for my shoulder op - 25th March so I think that will be fine as regards the ride, heck I am even thinking it might be possible to do Colin's ride 4 days after.I like that

How many of those were on fixed? Decent mileage though.
Oh ye of little faith.. all of them.. Geared bike is in the garage in component parts!
Never doubted it
.
celebrations with the phrase "yes you can go and play bikes with your online mates" I have the sign of approval for the 11th. 
so no changing the date.....
