Cool, i shall definitely be there. 6.45 is a bit too tight for me, so if that's the time i may have to come straight from work on my fixed. If it's 7pm then i should just manage a quick bike change on the way home.

Let me know the time and i'll see you there.

The chain gang is an all out very hard training ride done by some of the training group guys. It's basically hammering it up and down the A23 to Gatwick and back (with good lights on). Thru n' off rotations at close to full bore.

That was a great ride, cheers guys :D Wasn't sure how i'd manage on the fixed, but was pleasantly surprised.. Hoping to make it out each week now, hopefully on a normal bike.
