Yes, absolutely. We are back to our svelte selves. I washed my excesses away with The Seagull's finest bottled disinfectant.
Aside to ride leader, MrS Legg: We usually receive great write ups and photos from the 'regulars' on here but rarely from 'newbie' riders, or regular riders who aren't CChat members. Their opinions would offer another point of interest, so is it worth giving them a follow up email (given that they have to register with you), with a link to 'their ride' - and an encouragement to join CycleChat / CTC whatever?
This may well happen already, in which case I'll shut up.
