Chainganging on the rivet Feb 13

Good turnout of fifteen for another cold and windy chaingang. Our local road clubs well  repped with  Nick W. over from Rye, plus the usual mighty puncheurs from Hastings CC,  the Rovers, and Ingear, not forgetting Stravanauts. Only Malc and I on fixed this week,  I thought Malc's  34 x12  could prove a usueful hill climb iron with a 17 or bigger on the back.  A tough pace of near enough 22 mph out and back without much wind help either way had everyone on their limit.  Nathan, Barney and Nick feeling strong at Cooden also Stu and Malc on form -  but what about  John C tearing it up with powerful spells on front on an old faithful steel bike? I'll let you into a secret - for any given speed, the rider with  the heaviest bike in the group is getting the most training benefit, say no more ;-)
