I'll see how I feel and what the weather is like. I came off on the way home last night. Nothing major but my right hand shoulder and hip seem to be stiffening up as today progresses so I might just turbo instead :!:

Hi Nick, If you are OK in the 19s group, you will be alright with us. Ive done 16 miles of cross country running today which might take the edge off my riding.

Dominic - The cold is good for reducing inflamation and you should always keep your joints moving so I recommend you come out for medical reasons.

Sounds good then. Forecast currently doesn't look helpful, but will be there if at all possible.

Safety first, but if poss.. come on Ant, you know it makes sense :D

We did this route last year when the weather was worse and there were no problems.

Just Paul, Nick and myself went in the end. Quick blast down to Gatwick and back. Roads were fine, just the odd spot of ice nesr the kerb but nothing that had us worried. Great ride, 39 miles on the clock door to door. Sun shining, nice and cold, old dears chatting us up, loved it, thanks guys. :D
