Should be back to normal tonight - 6.45 at Little Chef just off the A38 - 2 groups one fast one medium. Some of us are doing a warm up 5.30 from the same place if anyone is looking to do a few more miles.

We've got a talk by Duncan Putnam on training with power at 8pm at the clubroom after which might interest some.

Just bumping this up.

Tuesdays has been 30 plus riders most weeks. 2 groups fast and steady (20mph - edging up a bit during the ride and the last few miles turns into a race). Steady group regroups at Ripley market place to pick up riders dropped on the hill and does about 4 miles further coz it goes up to Whatstandwell.

THursdays - smaller numbers, just a fast group.

All groups through and off as far as you can manage - don't go with the fast group and sit on all the way just do the steady, same thing don't go with the steady if you want to rip it up there is a fast group for that.

Mainly Derby Merc with a few Belper, Heanor, DeUno and a couple of lads in sponsored teams like Duncan, Andy Young now and again Sharman etc.

Im always amused that with chaingangs there is never a "slow" group - fast and medium, or for three groups fast, medium-fast and medium.

YER SLOW - GET OVER IT.

Correct. 1 gold star. Another gold star is on offer if you can tell me whether London is in the East Midlands.

No, London is not normally considered as part of the East Midlands. But I lived for 40 years in the East Midlands Wink
That now makes three gold stars to me and none to you. Laughing Razz
Unless you're considering a move there.

Teachers award gold stars to students. I'm glad you like yours.
