Thanks,

Re: Chaingang starting date
It should be this Tue...I think it got a fair few pitching up regularly last year...
Re: Chaingang starting date
These were really good last year. I won't be able to make many from now on but hopefully most of the regulars will be out to keep it going.

No one out tonight! Didn't post earlier as I wasn't sure I would be able to make it. Anyway nice to be riding outside again!
Hopefully we'll get a few more next week.

Re: Chaingang starting date
What time does the ride start (and when do you pass through Tockwith as I might be able to join you there work permitting)?
Keep pedalling!
Re: Chaingang starting date
Usually meet @ 6:15pm next to the Rufforth roundabout on the ring road. I'll post when I can ride.
Re: Chaingang starting date
I'm hoping to be out tomorrow. A spot of lurgy last week and technical difficulties prevented me from advertising the fact!
I say the same stuff about this ride every year- its fast and flat and a simple route - serves its purpose in my opinion. But the ride needs a critical mass of participants as its bloody boring and not that fast on your own & holidays, work, races, illness means not everyone will make it out!
Should we need to post on here about this ride every week - especially if you're not going to be out? Its the same ride at the same time so just turn up!

Re: Chaingang starting date
6.15 just isn't do-able for me I'm afraid. Like many I suspect in the pressured modern world the working day encroaches on early evenings.... 

Keep pedalling!
Re: Chaingang starting date
Are the posts after Paul's deliberately taking the Mick?
For what it's worth, I wasn't there.

Probably not, Rob
This ride would have died a death last year if it wasn't for people posting on here and generating some interest.
The average number of riders is probably about 5/6 so if 3 of the regulars post to say that they can't make it you know that it's not worth hacking across town for as there will be no 'gang'.
I don't really see what the problem is with posting. After all, what better use of a cycling club's discussion board than to organise rides?
