Good ride today, couldn't ask for better weather, my legs held up better than I thought they would, they felt tired at the start, but weren't to bad when I finished. No doubt feel it tomorrow. Catch you next time.

Thanks Paul. Good to have the company. Crap doing long rides on my own - get bored and want to go home.
My ride stats were: 3hrs 34 mins of riding, 52.6 miles, average of 14.7. I think we parted at around 31 miles, with an average around 15.
Three big hills, then bacon buttie. Then another big hill (Weatheroak). At which point muscles that I didn't know I had started to complain, so took it gently for a while. All OK now.
Weather stunning. Just a joy to be out in it.

Well you put some extra miles in, fair play, I clocked up 37 mile, that was enough for me and my legs, I saw quite a few heading towards clent on the way back home, it's definitely the weather for it,

I was going to go tomorrow although it has just literally just started hammering down with rain.
If though it's dry I'll be at Grange Road island at 8.30am. I was planning to go on my own anyway but any company is always welcome.

Sorry - busy today and too late.
Strange weather - only a few drops here yesterday. Weather looks good for it, though.

Wierd. Drove that way yesterday afternoon. All dry around with no sign of rain, but very wet with puddles at the Grange Hill roundabout. VERY localised showers round there.

Right. We need to set a weekend for the next ride.
Firstly, User - when are you free?
Secondly free weekends in the near future for the rest of us?
7th is OK, but forecast rain. All future Saturdays looking good until 28th, which isn't.

21st out for me. Gear cable breakage, and can't guarantee to get it sorted by Saturday a.m.
