Tuesday Night Ride Club (TNRC)

^ sam - you looked in great early season form to me mate the other week. as did des on the whitstable ride. first into every climb and attacking all the way. impressive lads

^^ - Oliver - it's always been a pleasure riding with you. last year on the roydon ride it just happens to be the one where people liked to sprint finish the last 8 miles and stretch the peleton out. let's hope your elbow gets sorted soon and we can do some long ones.

Cheers, Tim. I remember that we were in danger of not getting to the pub on time/missing the train owing to all the punctures! (It woz them werewolves wot did it.)

I did 50k yesterday (in three parts) and the elbow held up OK--just had to stop up one hill as I couldn't pull on the bars hard enough. Absolutely shocking form initially owing to having done nothing for weeks, too, but it started to feel good towards the end. Feeling optimistic now.

you heard anything about the chelmsford 100 this year?
Hm, not yet, no. Not sure they've had time to spend on it--CCH keep winning things left, right and centre this year (http://cyclingclubhackney.blogspot.com/2010/04/cch-123-clean-sweep-hog-hill-bill-theme.html, http://cyclingclubhackney.blogspot.com/2010/04/mean-while-back-at-ranch1-2-number-two.html, etc.), but I haven't heard about the 'Round Chelmsford'. It's getting a bit late for it now. I really love that route, perhaps I should make it my club duty to organise it in future years. I'll e-mail Keir to ask.

The return of the fixed wheel. It's like we're jumping on some kind of bandwagon.

Yeah, I know. I'd taken my eye off the ball, too. It should normally be in early to mid-April, but everybody was too busy to do it earlier, it seems.

Maybe you two can catch up and discuss it in a pub one night.
I think neither of you are busy on the 27th ; )

lolz - perhaps they can invited wools along too.

Don't make me flounce.

Don't do it.

Shit, just realised that I won't be able to flounce after all - there is a bum carpet sale on in Ikea.
