Nice one thanx TedC and Monsignor Bobcat
Looks Epic and gorgeous woodland as I recall from driving around Thera
I will try and make this one along with my East Mids buddies
Any need for suspension ?
Just thinking it might be a good outing for my Marin

Only suspension I'm going to have is a couple of mm give in the grips.

T-minus 24

Just a little reminder that the ride will be starting at 10.30. If you need to faff, arrive with plenty of faffing time to spare, we will be riding out at 10.30. This is to make sure we get to the lunch stop around lunch time

Looks like we're going to have quite the turnout! I'd better scare, I mean warn the village we're stopping in

If anyone wants my number, please drop me a PM and I'll reply with it.

Trying to decide which bike to take. I was going to bring the pace, but due to a injury to my achilles tendon I'm thinking of bringing my modern swift

Do you think I should be sensible and ride modern, or 'man up' and ride the pace? :?

 

[TheGreenRabbit]

When has sensible ever come into it !
