    Hi Andy. I ended with too many commitments and the biktride lost out. Was the route a success?

    I’ll do my best to come, unless it is too wet.  Cannot find my rear spray guard, so I advise against tailgating.

    10.01am it is.  Derek Russell

    Hi Andy.

    Please accept apologies for my lack of reply for the last few rides. I have been unavailable either because of clashes or health. This time, I’m trying to get some work finished, and the alternative of stormimg into Bronwen isn’t attractive enough.

    HAve a good Christmas

    Hi Andy.
    Hard luck about your knee – I hope it clears up quickly. I think I will be back to normal on Tuesday so I’ll follow the pack. Calorie top up at either tea room.
    Best wishes, Derek

    Hi Andy.

    I thought I would be out because of a strained back, but it seems to be OK-ish.  I will do my best . . . and try to get down in time for the ferry.

    Best wishes, Derek Russell

    Andy.  I cannot do 13th April – I have a medical appointment.

    I would like to get back into regular rides, so would like to do the ride on 6th April.

    Hi Andy.

    It looks as if you will have a small elite group on Tuesday.  As threatened when I saw you last week, I shall do my best to join you (soon bring the standard down).  I should be ok because I have managed a couple of 25m rides in the last two weeks.

    Look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Derek

    Looks like a good choice, as the weather could do anything.  I intend to come, but I may duck at the last minute if I feel rough.  Hope to see you at the Station at 1000hrs.

    I’m grateful that someone is thinking ahead. Many thanks Andy.

    I have accepted an invitation for NY day and I have agreed a hospital appointment on 8 Jan so that just leaves me looking forward to February ‘s run. Bother.

    Happy Xmas, Derek

    That sounds good and I hope to be there.  However, don’t wait if I am late.

    Should my tyres have changed shape following our highly pressurised philosophical discussion?

    Hi Andy,
    I am not confident that I have recovered enough to do even the short run yet. Sorry about this, and hope to see you in October. Derek

    Hi Andy.  After 8 weeks on board my sailing boat, I was looking forward to a good cycle ride.  However, I have acquired an infection in my left arm and I know that I could not manage 4 hours even on my e-velo.  Hope you have a good ride.

    If I am ready to go immediately after a successful session on the web, if the wind is in the right direction, if the gods are kind
    then I might just get on the 10.40 train. I shall try.

    My only previous experience of taking a bike on the train was to / from Brighton, and they would not let me on the first train because they had already hit their max of 2 bikes. Is this enforced on the Waterloo trains for such a short journey?

    Hi Andy, I thought that I had replied to your message this morning, but my reply seems to have evaporated into the ether, and I must have pressed the wrong button (or something).
    Very unfortunately I will have to give the ride on Tuesday a miss, and I guess you may not have heard the unusual reason before. At 10am I need to be on a good wifi connection and connected to Ticketmaster, because the tickets for the NFL (American football) games to be played at Wembley go for sale then. We lived in Jacksonville for 18 months many years ago, and my son and I have created a short-lived tradition to go to the Jaguars game in London. If you have to postpone because of weather etc, I am on for the following week.
    have a good ride, Derek

    Hi and Happy Easter,
    I had been holding off until now to reply, because I had picked up a bug. Neither bug nor weather look good for tomorrow, so I shall pass. If you postpone the ride until next week, then I am ok for Tuesday 10th.

    Sorry about the late notice, Derek
