  • phil kphil k
    should be there - looking at the forecast i might need to dig out some big gloves!!
  • JaneJane
    I did try to organise some birthday weather, but the forecasters are resisting

    Looks as if we're going to get a frost on Friday night, followed by sleet first thing on Saturday, plus winds of 20-45mph all morning. I really hope they are wrong :o

    Big Night Out on Friday (following awards lunch!) ....not that I would have been able to keep up with you all.

    Hope the birthday ride goes well Shaun and all stay safe if predicted weather conditions turn out correct. You must try harder Jane!

    Happy birthday Shaun. Unfortunately sending apologies - got a family weekend that has already been rearranged once which scuppers any cycling plans.

    Looks like a good route and hope the ride goes well.

    Got me bananas...
  • ShaunShaun
    Hi Guys

    I think I'm going to save this ride for next Saturday. I'm not happy with the Weather Warning in place indicating strong 40-50 mph gusts.

    Stay safe if you do go out tomorrow morning...

    Shaun
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    Ok Shaun... let's du the 9.30! See ya there
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    Maybe not.
  • VincentVincent
    I am out today and will ride at 9.30am.
    Setting up mudguards now.
    Weather rideable and not too wet at the moment.
    Wind is challenging and what the Belgian's get strong riding in right?
    May be a short one if very tough going.
  • JaneJane
    Yes, the ones that survive are pretty strong

    Please tell me you got home ok, Vince. We need you (especially now that you've got mudguards)
  • Pete WPete W
    Hope everyone got home safely. Anyone out tomorrow?
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    Yes.... think Vince got home ok. Three of us ventured out. Hit the gusty side wind going down Langford hill... Shaun blown off! Decided to take it easy... and cut it short to 30 miles. Fierce headwind heading back especially on me fixed. So... let's head out tmw 9.30. See ya there.
  • VincentVincent
    Yes thanks. Got home fine and had a fabulous ride. Wind gives you wings. Thank goodness for gears eh Robbie.
    Big turn out tomorrow for Sean's 50th ride, weather allowing.
  • JaneJane
    9:30 possible tomorrow. Less wind, but v cold ... probably safer to wait until the afternoon

    Anyone seen a gritting lorry yet?
  • JeremyPJeremyP
    Saw you guys on the hill out of Langford. Was in my warm Audi. Looked like a beasting day and respect to those that ventured out. Reckon next weekend best for Shauns ride.
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    Yes...nippy but dry tmw. Looks safe.
    So Birthday boy ride at 9.30 followed by pint in the Tons.
  • Pete WPete W
    See you there.
