If I weren't a thick-skinned insensitive kinda chap Si I could be quite upset. Just don't call me 'Old'. :? :?

As discussed at last night's ride - does any of the regulars have any objection to moving next week's ride to Thursday night?

No objections? OK Thursday it is

Bloody technology...this is all I managed to capture! I was working it wrong. Still, not bad picture quality!

1:13? Doesn't sound right. I made it 2:18, 11.7 miles, av 5.1, max 24mph

That's the time actually turning pedals. My thing stops the clock when the sat nav detects no movement. So your average speed is based on chat time as well. Mine is the "massaged" time with stops removed.

It was 11.7, I rounded up.

Hi Midlanders a frame on ebay has caught my eye but its pick up only in Derby. I've mailed the guy to see if he would consider posting but if he won't would anyone be inclined to pick up for me? You would of course be suitably rewarded its a long shot at the moment but it'd be good to know if someone could possibly do this major favour!
