First of all, thanks to Shaw for coming with us. I was a little apprehensive as there were quite a few new faces in the Transition/Development congregation at our end of the carpark and with the wind, I was expecting gaps to form during the ride which makes being everywhere in the group impossible.

We had a good ride today with about 22 people. The wind was not as bad as expected (a couple of peeps with the luxury of deep carbon rims chose to switch their front wheels for more traditional, shallow rimmed wheels). I was pretty chuffed with the ride. The pace was civil and people stuck together well for the most part. In the end, the ride was as good as it gets with that kind of wind and most importantly, our safety record for the year remains intact.

I’d encourage more T groupers to try to get to the new mid week and Sunday Early Morning Rides. They are good training and a good experience.

I am hoping pete will put in the kit order in the next day or two as I will need a new wind vest pretty soon. I am a bit soft when it comes to the cold. If you haven’t ordered yet, get in quick before it closes.
