Travel restrictions at work mean no travel for me next week so I'm in. Hurrah! Looking forward to a night in the hills.

nice one andy, good to see your name on there.

It seems I have recovered sufficiently enough to be tentatively up for this one.
So I may meet you guys at Waterloo. But not if the weather is doing this

heard reports that it will be windy and lightly raining. ride will be on unless we have a repeat of Noah's Ark.
mikeC- nice one dude.

Am interested. What kind of lights do you guys run? What kind of an investment will I need to make?

my cat eye cost £80 and is plenty powerful enough. we did lots of rides last year so it pays for itself.

My Hope was £69, and my Romisen torch was £11 (delivery inclusive on both).

£80 seems to be a popular 'entry-level' budget :)

I'm out. My left knee is playing up and 3 hours riding hills in the rain will probably do more harm than good. It looks like it's going to be a nasty night, let's hope the forecast is wrong.

dudes I'm in for these rides, I'll probably slow you down as I grind away behind you huffing and puffing up those inclines, but its got to be done, might not be for a couple more tuesdays, but I'm in.
Clint/Jonny will this be a weekly event? If so I'll check diary and book in for a few weeks hence...

I'm out too unfortunately. Everything hurts and something else has come up.

Have fun!

I'm out too. My excuse is that it's going to piss down and I don't fancy it.

Sorry, I can't do the fancy strikethrough!

It's easy Sam - just put a [s] and then a [ /s] around the text, but remove the space.

As I have a rule of never riding for pleasure in the rain cos I am a wimp. I too will probably be bowing out

oooh!

dropping like flies.

corny, come join when you are feeling up to it dude. you will love it.

i broke my finger and sprained my ankle playing football yesterday. am looking forward to the ride later. yee haw!

Trying like mad to do the strike through butfailing - more detailed explanation please?

jonny always the definition of htfu,
hope the training for the mountains isn't going to suffer in the wake of the sprained ankle.

keep up the good work

cheers corny, the sprained ankle should be alright, but the broken leg i also suffered last night could smart a bit ;)

Sorry, Jonny. I'm just not hard enough. Truth is I've chipped a finger nail.

Enjoy the ride!

no worries sam et al. there will be plenty more of these.

the schedule is normally every fortnight - will post up tomorrow the next date for sure as two weeks today is st patrick's day and for this plastic paddy that only means one thing - the G. so most likely next one will be on 24 march - though who knows, we might just get this on next week.

yeaj next week for sure.
to all those who don't like riding in the rain- honestly guys it is always good fun. you won't be cold because you'll be climbing and you will love yourselves afterwards. make the effort lads you won't regret it!
corny- nice one mate see you soon
andy- rest up for next week
jonny- i'll bring some morphine as usual
martin- you've been quite mate, hope you haven't forgotten

If it ain't raining...
I ain't training.
See you gents later.
