Bring your lights !! - routes changed to the winter gloom of morley top and Locko park. Judging by the weather outside I'm glad to be going out instead.
Enjoy.

Why on earth would you want to go on a chaingang in the dark, when its damp and foggy???
Its bad enough in broad daylight |

though called a chaingang it really bears no resemblence, it is basically a club run for around 6-10 people. I think it lost the chain gang title when it switched from roads which encouraged through and off in the early-mid 90's

| If you fancy a change Tuesdays 6.45 from Little Eaton Little Chef - been over 20 riders out most weeks - mostly steady - it's lit all the way round and comes out about 28 miles if they do the Whatstandwell bit. |
