Cannock Fools Gold Ride - Aftermath

[BerthaPog]

Thank you to all for a great ride today, was a little disheartened when I saw the weather first thing, but combination of good bikes and good people changed that. And then the weather improved beautifully.

Thanks again.

That was great fun. Shame I had to cut a bit short but I thought my lungs where going to fall out. Nice to see you all.

Not as short as my Saracen. For the freehub to fail after a mile was a bit poor. But the run back to the car to fetch bike #2 was most invigorating!!

Afraid I've just dumped everything in there so you'll need to flick through them a bit... You can also add photos to that album if you have any? Seems like a good plan to keep them all together!

Had an absolute blast, legs are destroyed and my rear rim isn't far off either! Brilliant fun.

Great to see you all and some really interesting bikes too.

Going to look into clashes with other rides etc but we mentioned the weekends of May 6/7th and 20/21st for potential Peaks and Long Mynd rides...

Going back to bed for a bit - was about one am by the time I'd got the bikes spotless and then gone for a recovery curry in Milton; ache from top to toe now!

Re:

Thanks to Ted for organizing a great ride yesterday and he gets extra brownie points for bringing cakes

Perfect Retrobike ride really, good mix of bikes, lots of pointless gassing and a "tat" sale!

Feeling it a bit today but really enjoyed it......anyone got a 29.4 seatpost??

The last ride and drive with her for 250 miles were good though.
