   Wonderful flowing writing style. It reminds me of your pictographic from a couple of years back.

   This reminds me of John’s pedal motion, 100% efficient and to the point!

   I thought that was an absurdly quick ride report when it popped up on my phone, now I see why. Similar style to a Michael Bloomberg press conference!

   Nice photos of everyone ducking down to get under the fallen tree. It looks like me and Lloyd had a bit further to duck than the rest 🙂

   Shame about the rim, I suppose you were up late into the night with a panel beaters hammer?

     Where was that fallen tree? I feel I ought to recognise those roots, Blind Terror 2 ?

   Couldn’t drag myself out of bed yesterday after a ‘busy’ Saturday – Holmbury was just a bit too far time-wise for me. Having said that, it was exactly the route I was expecting you to take.

   Should be back to normal this weekend though.

   Very concise summary John! How did you damage the rim, landing a four foot drop to flat again?

   Was good seeing you boys in Holmbury. Hope to be out for the full ride next Sunday, free planning advice included….

   In my haste to write a brief report I forgot to mention how I had to rummage round in Lloyd’s scrotum to find his “big bastard” tyre lever for Nick. When it come to tyre levers, it really was a big bastard.

   @Matt – not sure how I dinged the rim – but the only 4ft drops I do are in my sleep. Maybe 7psi was a tad too low for the tyre pressure over the roots of Hogden Lane, or China Pig on Saturday.

   @Dandy – yes it’s the bit of the “Blind Terror complex” just after crossing the road.

   @Chrissy – great to see you and Ginny too.

   For once nobody died (metaphorical for fell). No somersaults from me. Still fun though. Looking forward to Dandy bringing us back to earth.. (metaphorical for carnage creation, aka, my first Sunday) for one more Sunday before I depart for the Alps.
   See you on Sunday.

     You’ll have to wait until you get back for some carnage, Duncan. I’m off to the Alps on Sat morning (ferry permitting). You can show us your Alpine-honed skills in a few weeks time 😉
