Thanks for the ride today guys.
That write up is like a science fiction novel.
It has made me out to be like some kind of super hero.
We all rode well and looked out for each other, which is the most important part of any club run.
I was happy to ride at that tempo and it was great we were able to have an enjoyable morning doing what we love.
And thanks Haydn for the coffee and cake we, were all in need of a top up . It always taste nicer when someone else pays !!
Until the next one...

Thanks for the ride Sunday lads.
Sorry there was not much talking but hopefully we all had a blast.
Legs were tired yesterday so we must have worked hard.
See you all soon

Steve
Thanks for the message yesterday lifted my spirits for sure.
I won't be out too long hopefully as it's only a small fracture and not load bearing.
Just need some strength in my hand and I will be back to it.
Cheers to all who might be thinking of me and my mis fortune
Until next time!
Ciao

Thanks Andy,
Great riding with you guys. Gutted I did not have time for a long hilly one. That would have been just the ticket yesterday.
Hopefully do a full club run soon.
See you later for a few laps!

Well the numbers seem steady from what I have seen.
I am more than happy to have different groups,and I would also be happy to continue on the same format.
I have been riding long enough to realise that quality outweighs quantity every time.
As a non member I will go with the official stance on how this will go forward but as a rider I definitely think having the stronger riders in the pack helps more than hinders.
Start again next week and let's see if it can work as a unit as it has for the last few rides.

I guess you are directing those comments at myself!
With regards to kicking on the first lap, firstly there was no kick and standing or sitting to get up to speed is entirely optional. My choice is to get at a certain pace and sit there... yours might be otherwise.
We are all at different abilities and levels, some have not missed many or even any of the summer or winter chain gangs I am lucky that I have been involved in 95% of them. The fact you came into the ride tonight with what was arguably the most disorganised group that I have ridden with on a Tuesday is unfortunate. No calls split groups at junctions etc they all add up to a little bit more disruption than one or two kicking or riding strong at the front. If I or anyone else kicks at the front then let them go focus on the group ride rather than just one person.
I am happy to die in the wind on my own and also suffer more than 10revs before pulling off the front.
So until next week i guess happy riding!!!!!
If any of these comments offend anyone i apologise in advance.

Hi Steve
Joined the forum to keep up to date with the mid week rides. I think the strong turns were shared equally!!!!
Tough out there last night
