Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire Social Ride

I think it will be fine if I freeze it! Might shrink a bit, but it should be ok..
Or, I can eat your slice as well and buy you a fresh one next spring..... Tough decision!

I'll have a fresh one!

(It will be summer rather than spring though, unless I suddenly come into some money and get fit again!)

Right, I tried doing a bit if DIY gear adjustment today and have failed miserably. The bike is currently in bits on my garage floor and ive started to get frustrated so have left it. For that reason I am going to have to pull out of the ride tomorrow. Have a good ride and ill be at the next one after paying a visit to the lbs to sort out my mess.

That sounds a wee bit drastic for tweaking the indexing!!
Have another look later on, possibly after a cup of tea?

Oh, well.. If you insist!

(you don't have to be fit for our rides.. As soon as you're good to go jump on a train and we'll arrange a special ride for you! )

What's wrong with the other one(s)?

Have a great ride, the rest of you. I'd have liked to come along and surprise my nephew, who lives in Wrestlingworth), but I'm too lazy.

Only just got back from Cambridge so too late now to get a decent sleep and the roads are already icy so not going to make it this time. Have a great ride everyone and stay safe out there, hope we can do the next one. Look forward to any pictures.

How did it go guys? Beautiful day for it.
I've just got back from a lovely ride around Potton quarry and Deepdale with the dogs on the MTB.

I have come to the conclusion that I need new drive train components. Chain has started to corrode, even after a thorough clean and the cassette looks very worn.

I've been back about an hour or so, I headed off early as I was near home. Great ride, lovely scenery and weather, and the cafe at Waresley didn't disappoint as always . Get some those parts in, the more the merrier!

Hiya!
Starting getting warm slowly.. lol As predicted my bum froze but I enjoyed both the ride and company!
It was lovely to meet you all and I hope we meet again soon..
In the meantime I will do my best to improve my speed so hopefully next time it will be faster as well!
This chocolate cake.. no words to describe it!! I wish it was a bit smaller though, as I feel I missed out of that lemon cupcake!!!

And some pictures as promised:

The lemon cupcake was dreadful, you'd have hated it.
I had to have a second bite just to ensure it was as terrible as I'd thought.
Likewise the carrot cake was so awful it barely touched the sides...

Jesus. Who's that fat bugger in the CC top?
He didn't need any cake, that's for sure!
