yep but small roads round here are like sheet ice

I was otherwise engaged last night, but I can make either proposed re-run date. I vote for the 2nd, though...Saturday night slightly easier (not working that weekend). I don't have a problem with 9 miles to get to the train, I'd do 25 miles to home!).

Last night would not have been good- wasn't icy round here, or in the smoke, but it was rather nippy!

I'm sure, I'll stick to the safety of the suburbs, I'm going to do a few laps of Richmond Park and chase down some of those infamous Dynamo riders (.....as if).

Ok - the other suggestion I've received was Friday 22nd January.


I may not be snowed in by then.

22nd would be more likely for me

 

[Flying Dodo]

OK - how about we pencil in 22nd January then.

Since people seemed unsure about which date to choose, I've put a poll up over on yacf.

 

[TimO]

If anyone else has a view on when this ride occurs, then please either vote in the poll over on yacf, or express yourself here. The poll will close in just over 24 hours.

It could end with a tie - 15th Jan and 29th Jan are currently joint favourites.

 

[MacB]

just voted for the 29th

The 15th or the 29th would be good for me, fingers crossed for dry mild weather, which would of course be strange for January!!!

I don't think I would fancy a tie at the end of a ride like that Adam - a buff maybe...

Hello Marilyn.

 

[TimO]

Well, MacB has nudged things into a narrow lead. With only 7 hours or so to go, we've probably got a winner, but lets wait and see.

 

[Flying Dodo]

And MacB's the winner with the 29th.

I'll have to dig out a prize for you.

 

[TimO]

After a brief final flurry of votes, slightly over 69% of respondents are happy with the 29th vs less than 54% for the next highest option, and a lot less for the remaining choices.
