Planing to be there unless it's deemed unsafe - raining like mad right now but the forecast just shown is for improvement by the evening.

Off to an awards dinner tonight so have made up for it with a 0600 turbo session.  I'm surprised you can't feel the waves of radiating smugness !  However, the point is that you need to be getting a session in where possible, particularly with Xmas around the corner...

Out tonight were: Terry, Tony, Dave, Harpo, Shawn, myself and Stripey (late mark). Weather too fine for Mark E, obviously.
Mixed group held together quite well for first half and well done to Stripey (Andy) for doing second half solo. Last lap was a blast-fest with everyone caning themselves on the front so it broke up a bit. Andy reckons we were under 52mins so perhaps someone with Strava or related tech can confirm? Regardless of times, everyone seemed to achieve the aim - a decent Winter workout.
