Couldn't join you this Sunday as I got dragged kicking and screaming to the Fromebridge carvery.

Judging by those pictures, I've done some of your route anyway today by coincidence! Was a nice breeze coming off the river which was very welcome.

Excellent. I'll try and bear this in mind. Haven't been out too much this year, but I'm just over in Quedgeley so this might be the prod I need. Did have a bash over Standish Hill this weekend just gone. It almost killed me. I think I averaged about 9 mph (for the entire ride. Over the hill I averaged about 1)!

We also took all of the Black Sheds Lemon Drissle cake! Very nice it was too and very tasty. I think Donger had the biggest slice but he doesn't do anything small! Nobody realised his size until he got off his bike !

Can't beat a trip to the Black Shed

I was thinking the same . As loud and garish as possible IMO . I'm also going to have a day off for the tour .

Sorry guys I will not be around next weekend as I will be at Silverstone at the Moto GP . I'm going Thursday till Sunday.
I wish I could take my bike with me but one day

Just a quick word of thanks to all the Kingsway lads who have stretched me to my limit on club rides lately, and to @Dark46 and those others who have always been there hanging back to make sure I'm OK. Apologies for slowing down your rides, but upping the effort rate for the last few rides, and taking on the likes of the Cranham Wall, Frocester Hill and Hyde Hill was just what I needed to get me over this year's big challenge. (Probably the biggest challenge of my life). Not bad for a fat giant, eh? I have posted a couple of items on pages 900 and 901 of "Your ride today" under "Cycle Chat Cafe" about Bealach na Ba. Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks again. Donger.

Donger it's been a pleasure to have you along. Glad you made it up that big climb. Hopefully see you when your back.

As Gordon put on the KCC messenger " YOUR A LEGEND"
Mate I'm back in the club and will be heading up the newcomers group. If you want to come with that group or the normal group then we all would like to see you riding again on Sunday morning.
Nice ride mate just don't ask me to do it for a few years lol.
If you sort yourself out a FACEBOOK account then we can add to you on the messenger
Group . Missed you last night at the Owl

Next Sunday (@ 09:00) Kingsway CC is hoping to see as many newcomers as possible outside the Tesco Express in Kingsway. We promise not to go too fast, and to make it a gentle introduction to social road cycling in this area. If you live locally and are wondering about joining a club, come along and give it a try next Sunday. It'll be nice to see as many as possible. Gordyfinbar and I have volunteered to lead a beginners' group in the following weeks to attract newcomers and Donger will be along too .
The rides will be steady and flat and short

 

[Dark46]

Just a quick note to anyone in Gloucester and the surrounding area that are looking in. Dont forget all people interested in joining a club we are meeting outside Tescos on the Kingsway estate tomorrow at 09:00 everyone welcome and don't forget it's not going to be warm so dress so that your arms and legs don't get too cold
