Looks like it's going to be a cold one all day folks so wrap up warm! XC & WunderG are both saying clear and sunny peaking at 6 degrees during the day.

Jay, are you riding to the start?

I was going to meet up with Charlie, but it looks like he's sold his bike and won't make it, so yes it looks like I'll be cycling down the A5. What time and where do you want to meet up? I'll be going along this route

Well last time I did it at the weekend it was only 30 minutes from the Tesco/McD's we discussed meeting at last time. So to give a little breathing space would 7:45 at the Tesco/McD's at your 13.5 mile mark be ok? All this only if Charlie pulls out as I'm not sure what route you'll take if he doesn't.

Update 2: The road bike will still be with me on Saturday, so I'm still in. The swansong ride for the Bianchi.

Crikey, Abs, you don't hang about, do you?

 

[HaloJ]

Crikey, Abs, you don't hang about, do you?

LOL! I try not to but it is a faster journey early on weekends than it is at other times and I did flat out sprint down Park Lane. If you're riding to the start I'll happily meet earlier for a more sociable pace.

I won't be able to make this now I'm afraid. My Dad has been seriously ill for a long time now and we got a call early this morning to get to the hospital a.s.a.p They said there is nothing more they can do for him and that he has 48 hours left. I have been at the hospital all day and I don't think he will last the night. What with Nans funeral yesterday I don't know how Mum will cope. Sorry to let everyone down especially Abs & Charlie who I was going to cycle to the start with. Hopefully I can make the ride for food in Feb. Enjoy the day everyone. Jay

 

[martint235]

[HaloJ]

Oh, Jay, so sorry to here this. All the best to you and yours.

Jay you are not letting any one down at all.
We should be the last people on your minds at a time like this.
God Bless your father.

Jay, so sorry. My thoughts and sympathies are with you.
