A can't-do-Cambridge early one?
Anyone who can't make the Cambridge ride want to do a short-ish one early Saturday, maybe meet at 6 or 7? Cool and clear roads at that time...

Can't think of a route so any suggestions welcome for a circular ride, say 30 miles...

Yep RP sounds like a good destination. I'm none too good on the route but I reckon I could re-trace the Australia day night ride OK...

shall we say 7.00?

Dependent on what happens with Emily and myself moving in and how much work we've acheived I may be up with this. Could do with a few early morning miles to clear my mind.

I'm sure you're a fittie - she has impeccable taste ;)

If I can drag myself out of bed at six and tweak my grumbly cranks I'll be down there.

getting up early: you always thank yourself when you bother to do it. The roads should be lovely then.

I put a 44toot ring up, janart?

the chain tension is too uneven right now, it's wafty and I have to attend to it before I set out.

got 68 on the sick pompino and love it, 170 cranks though.

have to see if I've got the spin.

meh.

38/15 on the pomp is THE sickness though.

I've a mind to take it on a longer ride, if I didn't think something would break
