I know it never cycled it always full of muck and sh1t.
Are you cycling out in the morning.

feck sake lads

enjoyed the spin this morning lads ,wind was very strong but we got it right great spin home.we had two new faces in the group i think they enjoyed the trip of 46 miles we had to cut it short by about 7 miles because one of the lads had to get home in a hurry so we duely obliged:D:D
see you all in the morn 10.15 bike shop .
the wind again is north west so i suggest we do a similar route unless someone has a better one in mind.

decrrrrrr

Good spin alright. Especially enjoyed putting the hammer down on run from Colon..:D

Not around tomorrow, so will catch you all next week..
