With Steve C and Chris W missing you will have to make do with me posting. It also means that only two of us have now been out for all four Wednesday changangs in 2011: Simon G and Chris P.
Nine riders set off taking good advantage of the tail wind out, picking up a tenth rider on Normans Bay: Paul HH late on his way over from Eastbourne. Ivan was driving the lead bunch along on his fixed with Chris P, Duncan and first timer Rover Dave H from Eastbourne making up the grupetto. Malcolm has come on really well and as others eased off he was first to Pevensey roundabout. The headwind made it hard on the way back but Max was happy since it meant he had a tail wind for his ride back to Eastbourne.
A blowy but dry evening, apart from those that got wet coming out of the Dolphin later on.
Max has sliced his thumb open on a milling machine so is not finding it that easy doing simple jobs like quickly truing up wheels in the workshop. When it is injured you realise how important the thumb is. Apparently Matt R has seriously damaged his thumb whilst cleaning his fixed wheel bike. I said the moral of the tale is do not clean your bikes but it is actually do not turn the pedals when you have digits anywhere near the chain ring since it is not uncommon for fingers to get trapped and chewed up when there is no free wheel. Apparently Matt has had surgery at East Grinstead so we hope it mends completely soon.
Sunday 30 Jan: be at the Harrow ready to depart by 9.10am
