That was probably Emma talking away AlOriginally Posted by Al Fowler
Ady, if it is the group i see....you come past my house on your route.
I didnt see them all today but last thursday i missed my bus and whilst turning round to walk up my drive i heard all this shouting and then the bikes went wizzing past - do you really need to talk that loud.
What about that weather today! Club social ride up to the Dales, probably 70 miles or so. Some brisk sections on the way back and all told a good ride out in what may have been the warmest day of the year yet up this way.
Yes a nice day
Wanted to get out yesterday but i felt ruff early on and actually had the day off work.
( well i tidied the house, cooked dinner, cleaned the shed out and brushed the dog and did a 7 mile run)
Im desperate for better weather.
Well done Ady
Normal service is resumed. The bike has been retrieved from the cold damp shed and sits proudly dripping in it's rightful place in the front room because..............I've been out for a ride, just a short one, about an hour, and a slow one, very slow in places actually, but that being said, I'm back, well sort of!
Unfortunately I have broken a promise I made to myself, my wife, children and dog, the Dalai Lama, all higher beings, the choir episcopal, Warren Gatland and St. Shane Williams that when I went out for my first ride it would be nice and warm and dry and not raining, wet or slippery in any way. It was all of the above, I am truly sorry and repent for this consort with Beazulbub himself. However, I did survive, a little nervously I admit. Please do not tell anyone, especially Mrs T.
Confidence will soon be resumed. You are always concious of fast bends after an off. I came down a lovely descent with several twists yesterday (dropping into Austwick from Helwith Bridge side) and there is no better feeling than sweeping round the bends at speed counter steering using all the road when you can see a few bends ahead - fantastic!
Missed the training ride at 09:30 due to being on the last minute and finding a flat tyre when I got the bike out
Just did a short 2 hour potter into the Ribble valley and called in at Pendle cycles and bought a pair of Easton EA 50 L wheels for the winter bike. New bars, BB and crank and it will be all fixed up.

Emmi,
NEVER, not even once, don't start, ever; they get themselves out, they can get themselves back. There are only 2 exceptions and one of those is a maybe, these are:
1. For some unfathomable reason you have loaned them your bike it is legitimate to retrieve it - and them if suitably clean for the inside of the car.
2. Arterial bleeding combined with them owing you money (it is a judgement call on how much cash warrants their being collected).
Tough love maybe but there are limits.
