Great turnout at the Friday chaingang with 8 riders. This was my first run out with my secondhand Giant SCR that I managed to get from eBay (after several years searching) and it was also Nick's first Friday chain. Also good to see Paul Baxter back on the Friday chain again. Ivan arrived knackered on his fixed wheel having already done many miles that day but determined to do the route so as to get back to full fitness after the 'big freeze'. No problems with potholes down Battery Hill as the council had fixed it within a week of my reporting it. We stayed together until Rye when the long drag up to Broadoak started. Anthony was going well but suddenly pulled up with cramp in his leg, but soon recovered and more or less caught us up by the top. Ivan was lucky not to come off when he hit a pothole on the way down from Broadoak, the shock through his forks caused his bars and one of his hoods to move out of position. Anthony and Simon floated gracefully up Stonestile lane but Ivan was completely done it and had to get off and walk, some of the other riders emulated this and they got off and walked as well, LOL
