    Hi Andy.  To my regret, I have carelessly committed myself to being at a sailing meeting tomorrow.. . . and just as the weather was turning better.  Still, I shall take the direct route to Portsmouth by bike and via the Hayling Ferry.

    Have a good ride.  Derek

    Friday is fine for me.

    Good decision with the forecast as it is.  I also have a slight bias – I was going to have a fairly tight deadline at the end of the ride.  Let’s hope for decent weather in a week’s time.

    Would that be meeting up to get the 1030 ferry . . . . or do we intend to wait a little longer and cycle over on the ice.  Derek

    9th is much better for me as well.

    Best wishes for 2018.  Derek

    Gil’s new partner sounds like an escapee from Star Trek.

    Unless the conditions are bad,  I shall wallow up the mudpath known as the Billy Line – If anyone else is going that way, I’ll meet up at the station at 1000hrs.  If no one else, then I’ll just go past the station without stopping.

    I would be happy with either alternative.  Thanks to Mike for offering to lead the ride on the 5th.

    Andy, I hope you have a good ride and lunch.  Derek

    I won’t be able to make it as I have an appointment at QA.  Hope the weather is kind to you.

    I was just about to email with my intention to go on the ride.  Then I had the offer of a cancellation date for my cataract operation.  The op is at 1.30 pm, so I could just do both . . . . . but it might not be a good idea.  Hope you have a good ride and see you in November.  Derek Russell

    Hi Andy,

    I hope the ride went well, and sorry that I didn’t reply to your message before the ride.  I have a hospital appointment early this afternoon, and I think it would be the ultimate in brinkmanship to try the ride as well.

    See you in a month’s time. Derek Russell

    It seems like a good ride, so long as the wind behaves and doesn’t blow against us in both directions.  See you at the ferry, and hopefully I will get there in time.

    Sounds good.  I will see you at the station at 1000 (so long as my body un-seizes after 25 miles off-road with my son yesterday).  Derek

    This time, I’ll take a view in the morning.  Catching Friday night ferry with a boat load of gear and in London on Thursday.  However a ride in this company would be good.  Don’t wait if I am not at HIADS at 1000.  Derek

    It looks like a good idea.  I’ll aim to join you for both directions, which gives me a “get out” of returning by rail from Petersfield to Havant if either my stamina or the bike’s battery fade.  I assume that you are starting from HIADS at 1000.  Since I live in St Thomas Ave, I will meet you at HIADS.

    Here’s hoping for good weather, Derek Russell

    Just finished 4 days work on kitchen sink, plumbing et al, I can at last wash dishes again.
    Question is: will my back ever straighten again ? If I can stand in the morning, a gentle cycle will do wonders. If I don’t make it, it will be due to lack of ability to move.
