    i reckon if you pop into Cyclelogical in Forest Hall, the owner will be able to help. He seems to be in the know on all things cycling

    I've definitely seen some canny squads out during the week, around the Stamfordham/Matfen area

    If it's not a stupid question :oops: - what exactly is a chain gang? And how is it different from a club ride? Is it just a regular group of mates who cycle close together to go as fast as possible?

    I'm in Durham so not too far from Newcastle.
