Well Ive had a quick look at the forecast for this sat coming and so far so good, fair bit of sun, light winds but feeling cold...but the main thing is it looks like its going to be dry...so they're saying, plenty of time to change they're minds yet...never trust a man who works for the met office.

What a day, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed cycling in the rain. Reminded me of the summers at home in Ireland!. Got to Coulsden South really late, no one in sight, started to feel cold, so thought must try and keep the pace up to stay warm. Failed to catch Montys group, but made it to the cafe. Rode home with Toby who had a spectacular crash when he hit the kerb and smacked into a metal railing at some speed. He decided to continue on in pain sounded like he might have broken his finger. Hope you made it home ok Toby

As I got in the door at home heard a loud hissing sound only to see the largest piece of glass I have ever seen in my tyre. Ah well, it got me home and might get a few more miles out of it with a little super glue.
Roll on next week!

Ouch! Hope you're okay Toby, and just after coming back from your broken arm .

[Hal]

Ouch Toby hope you are ok

I had seen the forcast and wasn't feeling very well after more than my recomended alchol consumption on firday night at an office party. So I ended getting up too late for the club run and decided to put on all my waterproofs and meet my mates in a cafe in Caterham (its much closer than charlwood ).

After a full english I went up onto the downs for a short detour before heading back home round past fannys tea shop. A pleasent little ride if a bit wet and cold.
