HAD A NASTY CRASH ON THE FINISH LINE LOL.

Yes there is a place in the garden to put your bike. Be good to see Greg again, not seen him for years.

See you one Monday, keep you eyes on the forum for rides, they are relaxed and sedate sometimes. Sundays are best. This coming it the Osle of Wight, next is a sportive, up to 95 miles for the mad ones.


All the best

Rob

Hi Hugh, good to have you back in the fold. As Rob says, there are plenty of opportunities to ride with the PNE these days. Some of us oldies are still about, having gone away and come back again. Please remember me to Greg Rolfe when you next see him. I often wondered what happened to my old Colnago after he crashed it...! Paul

Hiya paul,
greg had lots of crashes and lots of accidents training and riding to work etc after his parents died a few years ago, greg sort of gave up cycling completely! i tried to get him to re-join but he really had no interest and last time i seen him he said hes bought a cheap reunaround mountain bike to get a to b, so il text him soon and let him know im meeting you lot on monday next week and you never know we could both return!
it will be great to be back in the club cycling is such a good sport great for the body and mind thats why its so hard to stop! im about to do my usual route tonight flat gosport course from north end 26 odd miles 1h 23m i did on tue, so i am improving...slowly, so i hope to beat that again tonight tho just done 12 hours overtime 7am to 7pm!il get in touch with greg asap and keep you updated chat soon, say hi to sheila for me, i promised her id be back a few years ago when i seen her time keeping in heavy rain at a course on the back of the hill...it was just a matter of time lol
