As no riding tomorrow and this afternoon 'domesticated' it had to be an early start. So at Cannock for 8.00 and a couple of laps of Follow the Dog. They have been doing some trail re-laying and it seemed less harsh than I remembered it.
The front tyre seems to be slipping on the rim so maybe this Panaracer is going the way of the rear one...or the rim's spreading :?

Damn! Regular group rides have spoiled me!

I can't find the motivation to go out and cycle on my own this weekend...In the old days I would have ploughed a lonely furrow...now I'm even offering to do DIY rather than face the cold wind and rain!

It's true - I have 2 hours to myself just now and can't be bothered to go out on my own!! :shock:

Here I am listening to the footie instead...

I wish I could but family duty calls.

Rob, you put us 30 somethings to shame

Believe me, if there had been the slightest hint of rain this morning I would have stayed under the covers.

Really enjoyed Cannock, but the surface of a lot of the stages is rounded pebbles which when damp are as bad as roots and I was extremely cautious ( SLOW ), but it was so quiet I didn't hold anyone up or get passed. We really must organise a ride that covers the whole Chase rather than just the centre.
So many rides to fit in... can't be bad

Andy (Gump) knows Cannock like Matt knows the Pines. He'd be up for it I'm sure

 

[rc200ti]

Maybe it should be posted in the rides section if Gump is willing to lead.

I have his mobile number - I can contact direct - he's not been on much lately. Will do when I get back off holiday.

I'd love to know Cannock better. I'd be up for that.

Have a good one.
