All going well I'll be in Southend on Saturday morning so it's not possible for me. Unless... if your pass starts on Friday night you could do the FNRttC to Southend??

Still not getting any more available. Shoes still drying out from yesterday, and will be in Scotland (possibly) next weekend.

Not worth it today the wet and the leaves over the lanes is a bit too slippy.

OK, all change and I am free this weekend. And it looks like the last decent weekend of the year. Anyone else free?

Yes - I need to be back for 10.15am though so either a shortish ride (20 miles ish) with a prompt 8.30am start or could do earlier.
Have been doing 25 in 1 hour 45 but a nice 20 miles should be 1 hour and a half easily.
Caned it back tonight, knocked 10% off my fastest commute home too with average of over 17mph.

Hopefully we are gonna have some more but it'll really be weather dependent so hopefully we can get some good turnouts as the winter fast approaches.

Right - your homework, Phil, is to keep the fitness going throughout the cold winter, and next summer we'll get you up Romsley AND St. Kenelm's Pass without stopping.
I think we'll leave Winwood Heath Road a bit longer, though...
Could be some rides out Wyhtall way next year.

On my way up to Scotland, looking at the azure sky, clear, dry roads, thinking of going out this weekend. 
Looking at the BBC weather forecast for Saturday, and deciding that it is a BAD idea.

I'm out of action confined to light spinning on the turbo trainer. Cracked a rib, some tw@t decided to step out in front of me without looking as I was cycling through a high street after work, obviously an important text he was reading.
Swerved left up the pavement and chested a metal bollard. My body took the impact so luckily no damage to the bike, just me!
It's hurting to breathe at the mo, beginning to wish I'd of just rode in to him!
