Just a pity Chappie 1 didn't advise of Chappie 2's interest when arranging for Chappie 3 to make a 150mile round trip.


I now believe that Chappie 1 was unaware of Chappie 2's interest in the frame in the early days, so the above was unwarranted.

No hard feelings towards either party.

Khane?

We also have a new person who may be joining us on rides soon - Alex (alexransome). He can't do this week but hopes to join us on future rides - welcome if you're reading this!

In terms of the coming weeks I have managed to negotiate (and get written into the official household diary) the following nights:

Tues Feb 16th
Tues Feb 23rd
Weds March 3rd
Tues March 9th
Weds March 17th
Tues March 23rd
Weds March 31st

Of course anything may come up to change this, but it's perhaps something to work on?

I've sorted a route for tomorrow. I don't think I'm going to be very popular


In trying to find interesting and new sections to put into the Ticknall loop it inevitably brings in doing things back to front together with sections which are either 'road' or 'unpleasantly hilly' or both. As Carol is away for a couple on nights I was able to indulge myself with watching the first two Bourne films and consuming a nice Scotch. I felt very brave after this. Distance would be about 12 miles. One section I haven't done for about 15 years so finding the way in the dark should be interesting (uphill bridleway), one section is on a road that is currently closed so we may have to turn back, two sections we have only enjoyed in the opposite direction. Let's see what the weather's like. Confused
