7 pm wrap up warm
-
I'm going to start a bit earlier at 5:45pm to try and get laps in before the temperature drops below zero. Saying that the Estate looks to be well gritted this morning so should be safe under wheel.
If anyone wants to join me at the earlier time I will be in the usual place
-
I can do either time. Anyone else aiming to do the earlier time? I'm happy to join the majority. Anyone thinking of approaching via Heronstone Lane, be warned it is still very wet (thus likely to be iced later) and I have just driven through and was held up by hedge cutting.

Hi Shawn,
I have just ridden up & down my street doing a bike check and it is already mightly cold ... 5.45 sounds a good idea & I will be there then.

Ok, so will I.

Shame I didn't pick these posts up earlier though I may have struggled to get there for the earlier time. Still planning to go for 7. Dodgy and Tony - are you still planning on going?
-
Ditto!! Just been on turbo now
-
Terry and Mark sorry for dragging you out early and then riding like a complete pleb
-
Hi Shawn,
No problem at all - the temp was dropping fast when we were riding home so not at all unhappy at the earner start time. As long as you are OK - we stopped at the roundabout for a brief moment and then looked out for you on the next lap; guessed then that you were a bit below par. Anyway, we completed the laps- have to confess Mark did more than his fair share as I tired after 6 laps. Still, happy with the workout.

Sorry Richard I have only just seen your message. It was a bit too icy for me :-\

At normal starting gate/time were: Rich and Mark E who peeled-off as Mark R, John, Rich J, Toestrap Steve and the Mummy (sorry - loads of clothing, but no name) headed out to Llantrisant on A473 - a smooth ride and a wise move to avoid the sharp corners of the B'end Ind Est as temperature was falling faster than in 'The Day After Tomorrow' (of the Exorcist, if you prefer). Toes just starting to recover now.
