Captain got the lurgi
Probably not on deck tomorrow
FD sunk
Needs someone to lead the ride
Great chance to take some bounty
Post if you can steer the black pig
Recumbent CP
PS not around next week either. Take good care of her
At least the weather has been foul again...who would want to be out today or yesterday in those awful conditions...pouring rain, blustery gales, freezing temperatures? Luckily, I've now managed to miss the last 4 consecutive terrible weekends, confined to port with one eye.....only another 4 weekends until I can ride again...should be lovely weather by then......!!
5 out today for a coffee and cake great ride weather just right 70 miles @ 16.9
I ended up with 85 miles it may be time to put the summer bike away for winter storage
Tony - I reckon there's a few more weekends yet for the Summer bike. Looks like the group wanted something much longer today? I was on hill climb duty - see you next week.
Thanks to you all for your encouragement, coaching and patience over the last 2 Sundays.
Yes, 15.5mph outward into a lightish breeze for the 30 miles to Saffron Walden, then looping back south of Cambridge for a total of 70 at 16.9.
Couldn't have done it without you, especially Carmelo.
Family birthday this Sunday, so won't be joining you this week.
Arrivederci,
Derek
October looking busy for myself, will make a guest appearance soon
Regret end of sprinting looms, green jersey already claimed
Dominic's form all too late
Frustration and regret beckons :-)
So take care of the pig
tutte le strade portano a Roma
Many thanks to Tony & others for the navigation and company. Very enjoyable late Autumn ride in pretty reasonable conditions.
Hope to see next Saturday.

The prognosis from the ship's doctor yesterday was......
......for another 4 weeks off the bike...making 7 weeks in total!
Not even allowed to drive yet, but fit enough to return to work on Monday....

Paese che vai, usanze che trovi.
Dopo il cattivo, viene il bel tempo.

70 miles, 800m climbing, av 15.5mph. Bicicletta in Saffron Walden was doing a roaring trade
Dominic tried and tried to stir up a sprint, but the group was having none of it ... please get well soon James, otherwise I fear he might explode
