have a good one guys. Happy 50's....I'm 65 next feb so looking to do summat say in April if you are coming up.
had a great ride last week. probably the last really fine day this year to ride my bling bike. Did a cheeky 80 miler at just under 16's so happy with that. Spending most of my time catching up on the farm work.
I should be there, having spent several hours during the week simultaneously shouting and fitting new "Longboard" mudguards to the winter bike Weather currently looking promising for testing them.
You guys are nuts. It's going to be so wet for two hours in the morning.
I may make it for an hour or so but need to get back for the bank.
Been meaning to get to it all week but didn't get the chance.
Good gritty autumnal ride for eight hardy riders and birthday boy Jeremy... blue egg special clocking 70 miles plus. Another next week before the Shaun Birthday Special on the 21st November.
Oddly I quite enjoyed that. The weather and conditions overcome with a positive mental attitude and a bit of determination. The right clothing and bikes helped too. Getting to the Blue Egg was easy in the tail wind. Getting back to Ashwell was super tough with the worst of the rain too. It was difficult to keep the group together in the conditions and I too suffered with the pace riding my winter tank.
Special thanks to everyone who braved it today. Celebrating with a few bottles of Leffe tonight.

I am putting together a new route, though with a new cafe stop. I'll post it here when I've finished it.
... and Shaun's on 21st Nov? (Else a pre-birthday ride on 14th instead?)
How about a trip out to the Blue Egg?

Can't ride with you for a while but enjoy the half centuries!
November now. Welcome to winter riding. Didn't we have a spectacular October, though
Have a good ride all.

My mudguards work well. I did notice that everyone else's mudguards are now not up to scratch. Address that before the next wet ride please.
