2007-05-27 - Let's ride to Southend and then out into the sea

Someone posted a route earlier in this thread.

Whichever is the latest version of that on Friday afternoon will be the one I print copies of for everyone.

cool..
nice one, will be a good day, almost sure that will be sunny

Think brett's route looked pretty good, no?

Yup, it does. Wasn't sure if there were revisions to the bit around the reservoir. But if not, we'll go with Brett's route.

velocity boy Yup, it does. Wasn't sure if there were revisions to the bit around the reservoir. But if not, we'll go with Brett's route.

Ok, it's been amended slightly to include a bit of the reservoir - hopefully pleasing to everyone...

PS - have knocked up a set of directions which should make it easier. I'll bring a load of copies on Sunday.

100k on a track bike.. ooh this is gonna be fun.. :)

went for a ride today, the hand held up on the way back, things could be looking up for sunday, depends on the x-ray tomorrow though..

Don't overdo it. You don't want to slow the healing process or do MORE damage.

60 miles again ;), will be hard!! so the way back by train...

for sure beers to celebrate when we get there

just hope the Sun will ride with us...

Clean your room!
(I was just speaking from experience.. injured, go back too early, result = injured for even longer)

31trum wont

Damn, you're quick on this thing!
Not as fast as me though! Heeya! Hasan Chop!

aaarrrrrrgghhhhh!!!!
edit...that means i get another week off sitting in the sun with a nice cold beer while you lot are busy workin"
;^)
na, hippy, i ain't totally stupid and i totally understand, if i feel it's up for it, and the doctor removes my caste tomorow....no bastard will stop me...

I'm a bastard.. wanna put money on it? :P
Cast off already? I thought it was 4-6 weeks usually? Hairline fracture?

I wish I could find the photo from my last job where 3 out of the total 5 staff had broken arms/broken collarbones. All three done in one week!!! Lucky (hmmf!) we work in IT and can continue our jobs :S

could be fractured but they couldn't see from the x-ray, the won't be sure until the bone heals, apparently new bone is easier to see on it.
(can someone roll this for me?)
