Welcome to the forum
09.30 ride Sunday 12th
Ahoy me hearties
09.30 3 tuns , 35 miles @ 15mph
looks like a clear night, some frost first thing
route will depend on the road conditions , nice and easy
nice bit of bottom aerobic base training, or just a bit of a laugh
The skies are clear , frost is in the air
the pirates set forth, they do not care
Pugwash shouts easy, all to take heed
its all about base , no need for speed
for mince pies lay heavy , indulgence indeed
the crew are lethargic, slow down they plead
But spring is coming, so get out on the bike
your fitness will build, this you will like
So if you are canny, the pirates are for you
this time is for spinning and enjoying the view
summer time is coming, the mountains do call
that is for later, so lets have a ball

ok sorted it
Managed 15 miles around the villages with Junior Dutchman this morning.
Will be there tomorrow, possible sea fret notwithstanding. Will someone bring an icebreaker?

Looks good. South East to head into the wind.
New ways for 2014
Which way South East does the Black Pig tack? May meet you en route from Port Hitchin, rather than Ashwell.

I'll be out on my cross bike, so even slower than usual. See you soon

a crisp sunny start , but nice and easy
Rupert took the charge, when it got a bit breezy
a nice round eight, became the magnificent seven
being with old men, not Daniel's idea of heaven
Bearing east to Foxton , the crew set sail
the sky was radiant blue, the frost was pale
then the gentlemen satisfied , retired to the shed
Rumours started they where about to be wed
a couple of strays joined the pirates for coffee
some friendly banter after the christmas toffee
see you next week

Taking it steady, no aches and pains
A touch of frost turned the gutters white
Gentle aerobic riding, to avoid a fright
Steady paced with plenty of banter
The pirates went along at a canter
Numbers down on last week's bunch
No free Cap'n's gels on which to munch
Wrapped up warmly against the cold
No sign of Gandalf, or Boris the Bold
Absentees must be resting their legs
No sausage baps, or even fried eggs
Plenty of layers, looked like Michelin
Tidy group riding, no one switching
33 miles at an average of fifteen
Enough to burn fat, make pirates lean
Ahead of next week's Cap'n's curry
No sneaky sprints, what's the hurry?
Beer and tikka massalla on next week's menu
That's if we can all remember the venue!
See you next week
