Chaingang Tues 20 June 2017, 7.30pm

Ashwell, Three Tuns 7.30pm: departure/warm-up.
Steeple Morden, Waggon pub 7.35pm approx: for the start.

1. If more than 15, we need to split in half. Faster group goes ahead.
2. Keep it smooth. No surging or breaking off the front.
3. You can't expect too much mercy. You may get dropped. Create a new chain, TTT with others or solo it.

Weather forecast utterly scorchio. Quite strong easterly wind. Sunset a ridiculous 9.25pm.

I'm touch and go to be there at the start, or even at all. I may end up on a later solo, but hope to see you out there.

    Unfortunately, I cannot make it tonight - I picked up an infection of some sort in my inner-ear, which is playing havoc with my balance & makes me dizzy/nauseous every time I move my head. Probably not the sort of thing I should be riding a bike with!

    Get well soon Mat. btw - I see you're second on the reserve list for the Alston RR. I think it's likely you'd get in?

    I met the chain on the first lap, making 5 a 6. Then James D turned up to make it 7.

    Lap 2 was hard in the wind and heat. 23.6mph, and Sophie did great to smartly stick to the group all the way.

    Lap 3 had reduced numbers, so we did a TTT, 24.1mph.

    Warm down tootling around Ashwell for the sunset and bumped into a couple of Bartletts for a good chat.
