Anyone up for this? Sorry - postponed due to work commitments .

Brandane, you're tempting us with summer pictures!
You think we could do it on Monday the 3rd?
Got the last big event of the season in my work on the 30/1st/2nd

Haha, just what was in my mind, does he think we're daft? Trades Description Act, Consumer Protection, bla bla.

I'm a little envious, looks like a good day out, hope it goes well.

Sorry, I work every Saturday/Sunday/Monday (+ occasional Friday or Tuesday thrown in). Have now changed the date to Tuesday 4th, as I forgot the motorcycle show is on at the NEC next week and I might go to that. As soon as someone agrees to attend on that date it will need to become fixed though .

OK then, in the interests of balanced journalism: (Click here for loads more Bute pics).

Looks like a good ride, sadly i work monday-friday so cant make it

 

[Seamab]

Weekends only for me as well. Not sure i'd fancy the ferry much at this time of year. Hope you get a good day for it!

I won't be able to make the Tuesday, or any week day for that matter, school's on

 

[zizou]

Really nice place to cycle hope you get decent weather for it

Yebbut.......

I'd be available during the week.

I take it you meant during school holidays? Trust me to pick one of the few weeks when the schools are actually ON!

I've been waiting since the summer of '76; I think that was the last time we had a hot sunny day in the west .

Ahhh; so that's why you were asking if it was going to be before December. I thought that was a hint that November would be better. If there are no takers for the 4th December then I could always change it to the holiday period, but the problem then is that people will probably have other priorities over Christmas/New Year, and of course there is the weather .

I could do the 4th of December. Brandane, it would not be fun for you with only me for riding company, you need to get at least one other at your level.
Never mind I'm slow, I also need to stop every couple of miles for pictures

Sorry Pat ; looks like I am going to have to postpone this one. Nothing to do with your claim to only going at 5mph . More to do with going into work today to find that we are 2 men down going into one of the busiest times of the year. One with broken leg; another with bowel problems requiring an operation, so neither likely to be back at work any time soon. As a result, the rest of us are being asked to do extra shifts to cover. I have said I will do 5 days a week instead of my usual lazy 3 days, but the problem at the moment is I don't know when the extra shifts are going to fit in. Don't want to organise a ride and then have to pull out at short notice, so thought it better to let you know now. It is postponed rather than cancelled!
