CC Jodrell Bank Run Spring 2012 - SUNDAY 22nd April

[fossyant]

When I run a forum ride I don't tell anyone what the route is. Coincidentally no one who comes on my rides uses a Garmin. Coincidentally no one comes on my rides. I'm hoping one day there will be a huge sunspot or the satellites crash. In a survey of university students a couple of years ago something like 70% of them thought the M1 was a river.

I could have just not told anyone, heh heh !! Dan_bo said on one ride a couple of years ago - "Glad you know where you are going, I don't" ad he's local.

PS Parking at the station isn't that cheap - make sure you park in the smaller one near the Station Entrance / on the back of the swimming pool. The big car park is very expensive (long stay). Edgeley is a couple of minutes ride away, and it's much cheaper.

I have found this web site http://en.parkopedia.co.uk/parking/near/grand-central-pools/ No 4 (Ritz car park) seems ok based on Free on Sundays , and just over the road (past McDonalds) to Station Rd

For those who don't know thE area, you have do drive past thE two car parks on Piccadilly, then take the first right, and right again into Fletcher St, then right into the car park. It's the car park on the left you want. You basically have to drive round the outside of the car park before you can get in.

'Fraid I won't be joining you as I've got my son next weekend. By way of compensation, I went out that way today although I didn't actually go "for a Bank"

Looks like I've been given the all-clear for Sunday, so if theres room for a (not-so) little one, I'll come along and make you all look fast and slim.....with the possible exception of Colin... I'm not a miracle worker

True!

You beat me to it!

I was saying yesterday that maybe I should take a sabbatical from CC, go off and sort myself out and come back one day fighting fit. Instead of the trim 50 year old with brown hair in the current avatar, there would be a trim 57 (?) year old with thinning grey hair in its replacement. (I SKYPED my brother-in-law a couple of weeks ago and he started laughing at me. He said I looked more like Chris Moyles than me - nice!)

There's nothing like sympathy is there?? And that's nothing like it!

They know I can take it.

What they don't know is that one day they will come on a forum ride which is somewhat quicker than they were expecting and they will have to ask me very nicely to slow down ...

Colin, you are nothing like Chris moyles, he's lost weight
