So Chris, I'm trying to fathom - via G-map overlays - which is your 'Warm up lane'. 201-038,  perhaps?

Would love to come but I'm out with Wheely et al.

Geoff, consider yourself whipped.

Many thanks Chris and all on the ride. Great fun and what brilliant weather. Thought we covered a lot of ground, no mechanical gremlins and only a few lesser spotted badgers ..... two by me smile.gif

Photo of the fog in the valley didn't come out as well as expected ...

So there I was, walking the dog in the fog and gloom of a grey Sunday in Ivybridge when I espy a lone biker leaning disconsolately on his bike. I approach and question said disconsolate rider about his woes. Turns out he was on his way to join your ride out and his bike packed up a mile from home. Mutterings of "too much oil and not enough shaking causing the plug to foul" were followed by his partner turning up with suitable implements to hand to aid said stricken rider.
Turned out to be Jlaw who lives 2 roads SE of me in Ivybridge.
I hope he's got his bike going and manages to get out with the TVTR soon.

It was a great day only marred by Jim not being able to make it. At least Jim has now met Andy so has no excuse about getting out on rides when Andy eventually gets back in the saddle. By the time Jim got his bike fixed we were as far apart on the ride as we could possibly be.

Jim I will post a ride soon so hopefully you can make it out. Keep an eye out for Wheely's runs, he will hopefully post something for the coming weekend and usually starts a bit closer to you.

Everyone made remarkable progress, Withy deserves a special mention for a remarkable performance, the angels did gave us a bit of a battering, but all ascended in good time.

Thanks all for coming.

Chris

PS. Watch out for Grasshopper, he is a bit tidy on his new steed. I had to send him on point for a few lanes.
