    8 out today for the rehab ride. Some crocks and others willing workers. Good teamwork in the blustery conditions.

    We're gonna need a bigger boat!

    It was good to get some miles in today instead.

    Thanks for dragging me round most of the way!

    Glad I'm not out in the drizzle today. Looks an absolute shocker, so glad we got out yesterday instead.

  • Turbo turbo if you care
    Not the same, cause your not there

    summer just around the corner
    All together and much warmer

    Journey begins lots of banter
    Turn those pedals at a canter

    Hear the birds with their song
    A sea dogs life you do belong

    See you next week

  • Yo Ho lost boys

    5 old lags out today, including the long overdue return of CTJ and Pete2.

    Ashwell, Bassingbourn, Fowlmere, Foxton, Barrington, Orwell, Shingay, Guilden.

    30 very pleasant miles @15.7mph.

    Fitness, distance and speed slowly coming back for the rehab crew....

  • Thanks for a great morning and good call on the weather

    Apologises for my poor group riding skills as turbo training took its toll, steering and unclipping when stopped was a bit of a novelty as well!

    On the plus side, great company and banter although it would appear that i had forgotten rule 54;1 of the 'Pirates Book of Rules and Easy Everyday Meals with Beer Volume 2' that states;

    Although in many cycling circles, taking your turn at the front in a headwind is considered a noble and gallant act of selflessness, crew should remember that the riders position whilst leading at the front should be strictly upright at all times with every effort made to increase your wind resistance to aid the following crew. The adoption of any position even considered slightly aero including even minor bends in the elbow is strictly forbidden.
    Such deviations are punishable by considerable moaning about the offending rider, anybody else that comes to mind at this time and life in general. The duration of the punishment is as a minimum to the end of the ride and possibly and not excluding the following rides for an indeterminate time in the future

    Same next week?
  • Yo Ho damp squibs

    Out today to help the Flying Dutchwoman on a training ride for the Ride The Night charity ride in May.

    Season changed back to winter from spring yesterday. 20 miles plus around Barkway/Pelhams area in the squalls.

    There are a few others to look up as well.
    Half wheeling
    Not consistently pedalling hence going backwards unpredictablely
    Taking aero positions on the front
    Generating a gap while on the front
    Not being on the front
    All to be discussed next time
    But not bad for a cabin boy

    Givin' up on the spirit that's in Sky

    Never been a sinner I never sinned
    I got a friend in DB
    So you know that when I try
    He's gonna set me up with
    TUE system that's in Sky
    Oh set me up with TUE system that's in Sky
    That's where I'm gonna go so I fly
    When I cry and they take me to test
    I'm gonna go to the place we detest
    Go to the place with the rest

    With apologies to Norman Greenbaum
  • Lots of performance deteriorating fluids to be consumed by the crew this weekend.
    Captain's table full of foreign bounty.
    Probably start Sunday ride at 10 am to allow post workout rehydration.

    Apologies to your training plan

    Looking forward to some Therapeutic Unbalancing Electrolytes at the Cap'n's table this Friday.....should give our blood a boost.

    Hope the meal isn't full of cortisone. Might need a doctor's note for Monday.

  • You mean Saturday of course
    Energy drinks clouding the mind
    Hence the 10am start

  • Open to a multi million pound sponsor though if any are reading.

    Lots of raw talent available on the Black Pig.

  • Yo Ho

    Of course you're right Cap'n.

    Thoroughly Uplifting Edification is Saturday night, not Friday.

    We are not fussy where the sponsor money comes from, be it lucre from large multinational beverage manufacturers, pharmaceutical firms or the local curry house. Will consider all bribes, sorry sponsorship money.

  • Yo Ho believers.

    Prepare yourself, you know it's a gain
    Gotta have a friend help with pain
    So you know that when you try
    He's gonna recommend you
    To the TUE in the Sky
    Gonna recommend you
    To the TUE in the Sky
    That's where you're gonna go when you fly
    When you race: on road, track or test
    You're gonna go faster than the rest.

    Will observe Temperance Utilisation Exemption on Saturday at Cap'n's table feast, but may moderate the amount of stimulants taken, given the ship's bell will sound earlier than usual on the Sabbath.
