Reminder: Tuesday Chaingang

[Amy]

Well, I should be out next time unless it's lashing it down - seems I've got no excuses (barring something on the ultrasound scan...)

Perhaps you lot could ease up for the end of year and tow me the entire way round before getting the eyeballs out in the New Year

[Ghaleb]

It was a good ride this Tue. the gang was a small one this time, and as Antony mentioned Phil had to drop out and 5 of us ended up.

Thanks guys for waiting up for me and Iliya, next time we will be stronger ...hopefully, and you wont have to wait as long

[Dan_K]

I'm gonna try and pull my finger out and get back on this. Been lazy and when it's cold outside it's much easier to make a cup of tea and eat some biscuits.

If my bike's fixed, it's not too cold and the biscuit tin's empty next Tuesday, I may come out.

[Iliya]

Good ride and it was fun although I was hanging on for dear life at times. I shall be back next week with a new cassette and hopefully faster.

[Sylv]

I should be out tonight

[Antloony]

Not sure if I can be bothered, will see how cold it is later.

[Del]

I'm not ready to re-join yet.

Sinus operation seems to have gone ok, but the recovery isn't over yet.

It was bloody painful and I'm currently awash with nose drops and steroids, so you really wouldn't want to be riding right behind me in a chain gang!

[Antloony]

Hope your back out with us soon Del, speedy recovery and all that.

[Iliya]

Hope you recover soon Del.

Can't make chain gang tonight unfortunately.

[Ghaleb]

I will probably be out there !

Come on Ant its not that cold ! its only gona feel like -4 deg according metcheck.

Freezing !

[Amy]

I don't mind the cold - it's the getting warm enough to get in the shower. I was rushed on Saturday and ended up in agony and nearly scratched myself raw

Don't think I'm fast enough even for the B gang so will have to give this a rest until I've got a few more miles and a bit more strength under my belt

[Andy K]

I could be persuaded to be there tonight if there are there any B group takers and it remains just above freezing

[Antloony]

Sorry guys but I'm a deff no show tonight and wont be out next week either. Have fun all that go and have a safe one.

[Sylv]

Sorry didn't turn up, was not in the mood as it looked like 900euros worth of frame and forks i sent to a friend in France had vanished in transit, turns out now they haven't. (should have gone out ..)

[Ghaleb]

It was me, Dan, and Andy. We waited for a couple of mins for Sylv but he never showed up, so the three of us headed to Gatwick !
It was a good steady ride the first half an hour and we kept it together, until we got to Horley road I think, I was leading and a fire brigade was sirening behind us. So I slowed down slightly and looked behind me to check on the guys and as I turned my head back I noticed a huge pothole on the side of the road and did not have time to shout it out. Both Dan and Andy went in the pot whole, I heard a bag and hoped that nobody wiped out. Furtunately nobody did, but Dan got 2 punctures and Andy got one on the rear wheel. At least nobody got hurt and we all participated in getting the punctures replaced on the side of the road in the icy cold night ! We got all that done and we all headed back home ! It was a speedy return home as Dan was hammering it !

Sorry agian guys, and next time we will have to becareful from that huge pothole!
