This is your opportunity, if you decide you take against the up to 3 trikers on this route, to get your revenge. My backside is 10cm above the asphalt so if you want to hear me shrieking you can route us through a ford...

buttsbury wash ?

I went there early in the New Year on a ride with my brother-in-law and his kids. We arrived at Buttsbury which had ice either side and concluded there was no way I could do that and retain a dry backside! So we turned round and went home again.

[Sig SilverPrinter]

Sig Silverprinter must go... please... WE NEED SOME OF THAT LEGENDARY CAKE

I have just made the cherry cake

I will either be there at 10.45 or 11.06 depending which train I get.
Have not been too well this week and now i've got conjuctivitus
Because of this I will not be cycling very fast[although I was pretty slow last time] so I'll be at the back with the whistle

surely not thwarted at the last?

 

[Auntie Helen]

It's only forecast to snow for a bit, it should clear by 9pm I believe. Can't think it will cause too much of a prob.

 

[iLB]

ever the optimist helen

 

[Auntie Helen]

Snow ain't stoppin' me, I've done min 17 miles per day for the last week, including blizzard and ice conditions. A few sleety flakes which will melt overnight will be no problem to any of us, I am sure!

 

[iLB]

For those of us on three wheels, no amount of snow is ever a problem.

but when faced with even the smallest hill...

 

[BigonaBianchi]

..now it's stopped....phew
