Jolly Crofters *
BL6 6RE
8:15 Blast Off

CX Friendly / nothing stupid as those who are doing the ‘puffer have wrapped their bikes and lower limbs in cotton wool.

I should be there, but that depends on the state of my rear wheel after last week and I haven’t had chance to look at it yet.

* To be confirmed by Dunc.

In which case I might give the P7 a break from commuter duties and put some proper tyres on it. I've basically been using it as a gravel bike anyway, but I suspect that the Small Block 8's presently on it might result in my untimely death. I remember spannering myself quite severely last time I attempted Rivi with them on after coming a serious cropper through Wilderswood

Anyone using the term Gravel Bike needs to have a word with themselves.

I’m in London tomorrow, but should be back in plenty of time as long as the trains run to plan. So I will be out.

I will be unless it is absolutely tipping down. Sorry, but I'm of an age now where if isn't going to be fun I'm not doing it. My character is full formed and no longer needs extra building in horizontal rain during a gale.

Rear wheel sorted and I even managed to get the tire off the rim without snapping any levers.

The forecast is currently for it to be dry. Well at least no new wet stuff coming from the sky. I am sure there will be bit of damp stuff on the floor already.

Pub maybe shut but the alehouse is 2min away if it is.

You can park in a myriad of places.

I'll be on my Gravel Bike so will be gently mincing around
