I'm doing the Martlets FNRttC tonight, so I definitely won't be around. Tomorrow morning looks like it'll be good - have fun if you do go out!

On my own then? I feel a bit like a Billy-no-mates at the moment.

Did you go ?
It's been a really nice week.
Got up to about 47mph down the big hill.

Took me til after mid-day to re-build my bike - new big ring, chain and rear cassette. And gave it a good clean too.
Went out in the evening - 25 miles, 16.5 average, and two big hills, but both in my neck of the woods - West Hills and Weatheroak Hill. Felt really good with the new mechanicals, and still plenty of energy when I got back home. However 1/2 hr later, legs complained when I went upstairs! Feel fine today, though.

Have yet to decide what the smaller ring is for.....
Probably poor greasing regime, and too much time spent on Canal towpaths.

That's a fair lick, I'm struggling to pass the 15mph average. Mind you it's surprising how much of the ride is uphill.
Replaced your brake pads ? You had less than me and that was over a month ago !

... err, what?? Oh, it wasn't you I saw waving at me along Court Oak road last night was it?PS: do you still need brake pads? My stock of Koolstop Salmons will fit if you have standard Shimano brakes.

I wouldn't mind, but don't expect flying speeds from me, I've found it hard going the last few weeks, not sure if it's the wind been picking up or if it's just the autumn blues!
