A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

As we were winding through the lanes prior to Newdigate, it was clear that one of the group was struggling. Fortunately, we'd been joined by the Steve "the Shadow", so I felt confident to leave him in charge of the group and drop back to nursemaid the "victim of our relentless pace :wink: " to the cafe via the shortcut along Partridge-from-the-other-end.


I was that victim. Thanks for the company and support Grahame.

I still haven't recovered from a heavy cold and chesty cough over Christmas and finally ran out of steam on the lane to Newdigate.

I arrived at the Cafe and spent the first 15 minutes coughing up what was left of my lungs. Still at least I got there before the queues. :)

[quote="Grahame"]But no, I saw no familiar figures until Ed caught me at some lights on the way through Croydon by which time I was really struggling every time the gravity went the wrong way. That'll teach me to combine 2 weeks of idleness with an attempt to overdose on mince pies :oops: :D .

Right, that's it.


It's fair to say you were moving slowly when I caught you at the lights and I don't think you fancied travelling to Bromley Bikes either. :cry:

Had a good day in the 18s despite not being out with the club for probably 2 months. Certainly beats commuting which is all I've been doing in between.

Enjoyed the pace on the way back after the cafe stop which picked up with Adam on the front for the best part. Tried to hold on all the way back to Coulsdon but couldn't close a gap on the drag up to the a23 and ended looking round to make sure noone was coming up behind. Oh well there's always next week.

Hopefully try out a Wednesday night chain gang to see how long I can last :lol:
