At the moment (following my accident last weekend) I won't be out and about this weekend. I need a new helmet but have to send mine back to Kask then wait for a new one to be delivered.
Is there anyone who can lead the ride for me please?
-
I'm away this Sunday Ben sorry
-
I'll do it Ben. I'm up in Nottingham all day Saturday, back in the early hours of Sunday morning so won't be 'up' for a pasting with the Pacers.
Also still recovering from last weekend! :-[

How did you get on Andy?
-
Survived!
I was a whole 2 min and 11 secs quicker than last year. 50 miles, over 15 hours that's what you call marginal gains!!
-
What size helmet do you need Ben? I have a spare Kask Mojito size 59-62 sitting in my office you are welcome to hang on to until you sort yours out.
let me know and i can drop it to the committee meeting on Friday if required.
cheers

Hi Craig. I'm on an XL Mojito the 63-64cm I think :(
-
At least you finished Andy and in a quicker time. Thats the main thing.
-
thats a shame Ben, worth a shout though

Re Helmets,
I have a Carnac , they are on offer with 69% off at the moment from Planet X and currently cost £15.
Not the best looking helmet but not the worst either, I find mine comfy.
-
Luc has one but its a little small for my funny shaped head ;D :o

I'm on call with work Sunday and I know they want some work doing which I'm trying to push back to the afternoon so I can come Sunday morning!
Hopefully I'll be there!
-
Suggestion for Sunday, comes in at 36 miles.

Evening guys... Plan to get out in the morning and wondered if I can join you as I having been planning to for a while now ?..

Biggest group I've seen for a while Chasers split in two so.e with Pacers some with us. 10 riders altogether. Myself, Andy H, Matty, Tom, Carrie and Nick H, Nostraps Mike, Roy (not sure which though we have several) and two new riders Adrian and Mike.
We rode a slightly modified Tuesday ride. Turning left down towards Ruthin and across to City. Then over to Watery Lane and on to A48 where we stayed on to Dyffryn for an early coffee break. Tom and Nostraps Mike carried on from here. We then went over 5 mile lane to Llancadle where Nick and Adrian decided they wanted a swim in the rhyd. In all fairness it was very a slippy road there.
A quick check of the bikes and we tootled up along green Dragon lane where new Mike's chain fell off. We went off round Gileston and through St Athan. Through Llantwit, St Donate and Ogmore by Sea. I stopped at Hilary and Ian's for another coffee. Everyone else went on. Saw Tom and Nostraps on the way back.
-
Yes thanks to Andy for the route-Mike and I couldn't face a coffee that early so pressed on doing an improvised route that gave us something in the low fifties by the time we got back-your new kit was dazzling Ben!

I do like the new Jersey. Makes me feel faster :-D
