Chaingang 18/3/10

[Rob W]

I did the DP chaingang last night and there was a good turn out at least 10 of us all doing a good T+off for most of the ride,until it broke up when the pace picked up on the hills.But what a shame we as a club can`t get a better turn out for are own Chaingang.

Maybe people are allergic to riding their bikes on any other day than a Saturday.

I'm available next Thursday for a chaingang.

[Antloony]

I should be as well, will be better by then.

It would help if some of us were told where the meeting place at Elmers End is and perhaps a brief description of the route so the slower ones know roughly where they are going. I think I may have asked but didn't get a response so I trundled off to CSS on the off chance somebody else might turn up. Which they didn't. I ended going around Titsey Hill and Oxted.

Thanks Edo. Call me pernikerty but where abouts in Elmers End do you meet?. I don't want to stand outside Tesco when i should be at the triangle.Also Wednesday is awkward for me to get out so it would have to be Tuesday. I know this is the quick one but if I know the route I can go at my own pace. So my next question is:- what route do you take to get to the A21 ? and when at Pol Hill, is it the roundabout adjacent to the M25 that you turn around? If you could furnish me with the details I would be grateful and promise never to ask for so much information in one sitting ever again.
I don't wish to be a pain in the rear but , as my wife often tells me , I could make an occupation out of it .

My excuse for this Thursday is that I'm going bowling. Which after today I feel may be more my sort of sport (guilted into going to a work morale/bonding thing - I have to put up with those idiots all day every day).

Anyway, I do want to do more stuff and riding with a group stops me from slacking. But as Amy says, you need to define what the standard is - is B standard supposed to be something that an 18s rider can cope with?

But ultimately it is about lazy people like me hauling their @rses out there and actually doing it.
