    A big thanks to Colin & Alex for organising today, all 3 spring rides have been great so far.What makes this year better is no crashes or falls!

    A very good turn out, lets hope number four is as good :)

    I thought this was only the second one? Clue being in the thread title and all that?
    Might have stayed with you guys If I'd know you were going to chicken out of the Street!

    Can't quite believe that I managed to stick this out to the end!

    Thanks to Colin and Alex for organising and to everybody else for turning up and making it worthwhile.

    The first one wasn't called the Spring Fling, it was in February and it was a C+F training ride suggested by Popette to prepare for the Cheshire Cat. And it was very very very foggy. In fact I nearly died when I turned right off the C+F and a van appeared out of the fog at 60mph and missed me by about 2 metres.

    I thought the first one was (unofficially) the NapD Legbreaker Ride!

    No! I broke my leg 1 month after that Feb one, the Legbreaker ride was 6 months later...

    Bhima had no banana bunches.

    Or yoghurt pots.

    Didn't seem right.

    If you went on the Spring FLing last year or this year and would like to show your appreciation for one of the organizers (me), could you consider donating 2 Euro (or more) to my fundraising effort? This is to help me get to the Paralympics...

    Many thanks to anyone who has already donated and those that will!

    Colin, why don't you organize another one in the near-ish future, as a bit of a fundraiser for your 2012 goal? I'm sure plenty of people would be interested in going along.

    To be honest - it's not a bad idea, but my travel/racing schedule means it's tough to find a weekend when I'm actually free!
