Chaingang revival

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!

Tonight B group was me and Mr Boardman. I started with As but dropped off on dual carriageway as expected. Anyway managed to do full B route averaging just over 18 m/h.

I didn’t get past by anyone from A group on the way back. Are you guys ok? How was your ride?

Well done Iliya for turning up and showing the rest of the B's how its done....where are you guys?????

My ride was crapmungus, hit a pothole, blew my tube and wrote off my back wheel, its slightly oval, buckled and has a huge dent in the rim. :cry: Oh and to make matters worse I've been coughing my lungs up since I got home. Other than that it was bloody fantastic. :lol:

I'm giving up cycling, it hurts and its bloody expensive. Anybody wanna buy a bike, well looked after, just needs a back wheel.

I’m sorry to hear that Anthony and I hope by CR on Saturday you will change your mind and decide to keep the bike.

It is bloody expensive hobby though. I agree with you on that one. :)

New wheels ordered.

Yep Sylv, 6 lights, 3 front, 3 rear, I like to be seen though didn't stop some gimp pulling out in front of me last night.

Thanks for waiting last night guys and big thanks to Andy W for giving me a nice tow after my head went down and I got dropped again.

Good to hear you were not serious about giving up cycling Ant!

Talking about lights what do you use on forks and seat stays?
