    They are run by local cycling clubs who all have their own reliability rides - now is the time for them as they are meant to be pre race-season jaunts. Run throughout the local area depending on the host club's venue - some Notts/Derbys/Leics/Staffs.

    Helps if you are in a club to find out about them because they are not always widely-publicised.

    So it's pretty much a washout for me this week.

    No go on Tues and Thurs as meetings require attendance :shock:

    Motorcycle racing season starts for me this weekend :D so off down to Pembrey for a test weekend so no can do then either.

    I will be off out during the day between now and next week but only as and when work permits so no chance of coordination i'm afraid.

    THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE REST OF YOU CAN SLACK OFF :P

    I'll be around this weekend. Not sure when's good but I'll ask the gaffer. We'll have a house full of kids at some point on Saturday so a ride that just happened to coincide with that would be handy :)

    So Sunday looks favourite but I may well get out this afternoon too, avoiding the Griffydam/Diseworth route of course.

    My place is being invaded at 10:30 this morning, so I'll be heading out round about then, putting me in Belton about 11am (maybe 11:10). Fancy a blast this morning?

    Heh, I did go out but it's as well I was on my own - I had a late night-ride last night on the MTB and was shattered, so much so that I bonked after a couple of hours this morning. I wasn't my usual charming witty self ;)

    3 hours later I'm still desperately hungry :(
