Curry night

On Thursday next week (16th July) we are going to do our usual ride and then finish for a curry at the drovers arms Steppingly. The reason for this is that we havent done it yet, but have talked about it loads, and it is my birthday on the tuesday so we are using both reasons as a good excuse. We are hoping to sit outside on the terrace area (weather permitting) and my advice would be to bring lights as it starts to go dark at 9ish and we will be having starters mains and beers!!!!!

Not out tomorrow

Just to let you know I am not going to be out tomorrow after all! Enjoy the ride

Thursday 18th June Ride

Only Dave and myself made it out tonight and it was a nice evening for a ride. We went along the usual route but with a few minor changes. I almost came off again for the second time in a row on the sandy descent through the woods but just about managed to keep it together!

We went under the motorway with the plan of doing the bridal way by the drovers arms. The rest of the ride continued without incident until we reached the bridal and rode up to find it came out by the French Horn. We then went right and came out along the bottom of the sandy descent took a right and came out along the road with staples on it. Back along the A507 and into the Engine and Tender for a couple of Dallaligio's finest!

Ride Stats:
Distance: 17.39
Average speed: 11 mph
Max Speed: 26.1mph

Not biking tonight

Carbon Paul, Rob and Chris not out tonight. ..Has anyone seen the weather forecast?! Whoever is going, enjoy the thunderstorm! Plan to go out tomorrow night instead.

CO2 Cartridges and pump

Hey everyone I brought a box of 30 CO2 cartridges so if anyone wants any let me know. They cost £15.66 for 30 of them so 50p each. Let me know and ill bring them on my next ride.

Also I got this CO2 inflator because I didnt think they would work with my inflator I already have. As it turns out they do so this is surplus to my requirements. If anyone wants it let me know - £6 will do includes 2 cartridges

Bank Holiday Monday Rideout

Rob, Carbon Paul and me are meeting at 1.00pm outside the cottage bakery today for a ride out. If that isnt enough to tempt you to join us the engine is putting on a free BBQ from 2.00pm onwards which of course we will be partaking in. See you there!!

Monday 18th May

On Monday it was decided that we would do the now infamous "normal" route.
During the day and early evening the weather was very changable, one minute sunny, then absolutely wetting it down then it seemed a hurricane was starting, but by the time we all met at the bakery things seemed to have settled down. Out for the ride was Carbon Paul, Daniel, Rob and I. Well it was a little slippy and muddy in places but a whole lot of fun, Daniel has now realised that riding without your back brake half on actually makes for an easier ride, but it probably has help improve fitness quite a bit!!!!
The whole evening was a good one, adding on an additional field, going over the motorway instead of under it, the flies going up the brook are minging, as i found out again by going first and straight into the swarm talkng to paul, so there really was not any need for food as i had had my fill of protein at that point. One of the highlights of the evening was rob turning round to see what was going on and flipping over his bike, then paul getting a little over confident and quick and nearly flying off into the brambles. Then it was all back to the Oss for some of Skips chicken wings, drummers dips and nachos. Cracking ride - no stops, bring on thursday
