Chaingang 16 November


It felt like a proper November evening for once with temperatures around normal for the time of year . A lot of the regulars (Chris W, Ivan, Max, Matt, Chris P, jay etc) were absent but with most of the Eastbourne crew there, numbers were still qite high at 19 . Someone warned us that there would be a lot of congestion around the Glyn gap area due to the arrival at Ravenside of the famous coca-cola truck from the adverts, so we took it easy and stayed together as one group to galley hill before everyone went at their own pace . Steve Denny was on his new Raleigh Airlite 105 which he bought brand new for just £550 pounds. He definately seemed to be going faster than normal as this was the first time ever that he beat me on the way out to Pevensey. On the way back some of the riders decided to check out the free cokes that were being given out from the coca-cola truck. They came back very unimpressed, complaining of queues and half size coke tins. Good to see Dan (the legend) Harwood was there, he has become one of the regulars again!
