Sorry Steve, hijacking your post like that - well done on getting a long ride in - it will do you good later on (or not if you listen to Toks blah blah blah)

Nice one Paul, that's probably the first of many then? How many do you think you will do?. Place your bets here folks, I reckon 8 :?

Good to hear you're back on the bike Huw.

I can see the powertap would focus the mind, so will get it fitted on the bike while I'm off having my knee done (monday). Last ride this saturday for a while, hope it's a nice day :D

See you then

Steve

Steve - I wish I wasn't back on the bike with what that bloody powertap is telling me

DON'T FIT IT - IT RUINS YOUR LIFE

Good luck with the op

8 rides to Brighton? - that's january taken care of, what about the rest of the year?

Only every other day, the alternate days are via Eastbourne for variety.

Calshot on Saturday, bets on PVT riding there and back.

The only thing wrong with his wrists is they can't turn the handlebars in any direction other than Brighton
