Black Pig, Sunday 28 October

Cut Throat Jake

Got all the charts in order and route planned, so no moaning, groaning, wading, paddling - or mutinous talk - on offer this week, I know some crewmen will be glad of this. A steady 45/50 miles at an early autumn pace, around 17 mph, leave at 9.30 return for coffee at the Tuns around 12.30. Punctures this week will optional, not a definate, so come along me hearties and join the crew. Normal 5 minute rotations on the front make for a more convivial ride and allows the new crew members to get to know everyone else. We set sail promptly at 9.30 from the Tuns, Ashwell High Street, see you there.

Remember: the clocks fall back one hour at 01:00hrs Sunday morning.
= you get one more hour in bed.

Just a note that this is the route for the Emmitremus ride from Stevenage: MAP

So for anyone on any of the Sunday rides you can either join the crowds or avoid altogether.

Ahoy the Stern
Good to hear will last past first puddle
Still sure I can find something to debate about
No grog this week so no excuses
( did come down with the plague though afterwards )

Never trust a pirate !
all the charts , all the chat , no show
something about hugging a tree

Good ride with plenty of crew members
not sure of stats about 40 miles at about 17ish back for 12.30
Barkway / Chrishall / Fowlmere I think ..... just keep turning left
they where even flying a jolly roger for us on the route
good solid winter riding with rotational bliss thrown in

See you next week for a new adventure
perhaps "go west young man" for a change
don't knock it until you have tried it
