This is me

I'm the bald guy (aerodynamic reasons) in the red top.

Hey DaveH, how does the two for one offer advertised on the PfS website work? Does it only apply to certain items?

Could this be read as a long night on the lash, could not get my head off the pillow and I left the bike down the pub but which one? ;)

See you for the the next one.....

I'd grimace as well if I was cycling in shorts like those!

Naa, they're fine. Since chopping the front off my saddle I just don't need Lycra shorts. I prefer them loose. Same with the top, I have a few cycling tops but I prefer a cotton T-shirt. Don't know why, I just do.

That knee looks fine, you malingerer!

Yeah, it looks fine! It's the left one by the way. I was really close to chucking it on Sunday and getting Val to pick me up where I fell. The heavy cycle traffic actually helped I think because it limited your speed, so you weren't putting pressure on yourself to go faster.

It's a lot better already, might even make it out with the guys at the weekend. Still don't know what I did to it! I was fitting new gear cable on Saturday morning so maybe I knelt on it badly, don't remember doing anything but it must've been something like that.

I'm 614.

assume most of you got survey email today ? From questions its
appears relatively obvious that they've either heard the concerns
regarding the Embra end of the ride or they were aware it might be issue.

Hopefully they'll take responses on board for next year

I doubt it - there were similar questions last year, and nothing came of it. A number of people on CC also emailed the organisers expressing concerns about the overcrowding on paths etc last year too - and never even got the courtesy of a response. I get the feeling that the surveys are just a 'ticking the box' exercise and the responses pretty much ignored.
