Reminder: Tuesday Chaingang

On road, off road, round in a big circle or down to the coast, we do the lot. We don't just do it at all speeds and for all levels, we do it Agreeably as well!

Had a great work out this week, although rode on my own for all but upto the the M23 junction when the road goes then the group rides off.
I seem to be slower of late (could be due to spending my Saturdays at HH) and need to increase my fitness so I don't just die when the road goes up. The best part of the ride for me was at the end being dragged up Stoats nest by Darren and Andy in the fastest time for me ever. Cheers ( no I didn't have the pies).

Can't wait for next week, bring it on.

BOING! (That was the topic bouncing - not the elastic snapping as we lose Marcus off the back.....)

Looking forward to this again tomorrow. Along with The Inbetweeners, this is fast becoming the highlight of my week :lol:

Fingers crossed for dry roads....

I'll be there.

I really should see if Bike+ have got the right part to fix my mudguards.

If I can get away from work on time I'm hoping to make a debut appearance.

I need to drive up from Horley, otherwise I'll end up doing the whole thing twice. Is it possible to park at CSS at after 19:00 without paying? If not, I'll park further down the A23 at Hoely and ride up from there.

I'm not sure on parking but there are plenty of side roads that you'll be able to park in behind the station by the Ullswater trading estate or on Chipstead Valley Road.

Might as well uncross them, forecast is not good for tomorrow.

Thursday looks better, anyone interested in changing days and staying dry?

Dry sounds good :D I really don't recommend that motorway junction just before Gatwick in the rain and dark... If it's definitely wet tomorrow, I'm happy to postpone.

But I've just got my mudguards sorted.

Last forecast I looked at was rain in the middle of the day but dry in the evening.

Well just seen a forecast and very heavy rain tomorrow afternoon so roads will be horrid so I wont be out if thats the case. Thursday still looking good so I'm happy to wait till then, no fun riding in the wet at night.

Well, I can't make Thursday (got schools to visit) so if it's rubbish tomorrow then turbo. Or beer.

Take a rain check this afternoon?

If go out and it's wet I suggest everyone turns at the roundabout before Gatwick... at least.

Forecast is dismal for tonight so I guess it is off, but for the future, do you always meet at 7:30 at CSS?

and what is the route?
