Re: March CTC - 30 minutes
I thought I was going mad when I saw no entry for me or my mum's result....
I knew I entered them at the start of March
Thanks Mike!

Re: March CTC - 30 minutes
Managed a very poor 6041. And just to let you know Margaret H is my 85 yr old Mum who registered her first CTC for a long time this month.
Previously was under the name of Michelle's Mum! I cannot remember how long ago it was.
Anyway she started rowing and using an indoor bike to aid her recovery ...

Re: Another year
Thanks for all the good wishes I have received. Yes I did see the programme Wolfie. I think that was one reason why I decided to post about my depression. Prior to posting last week, only a handful of people knew......well over 200 have seen and now know

I had no idea of my password, its been such along time since I was on the forum. I've not been in a good place for quite a while. I was diagnosed with depression.

Re: Madchester 2015!
Jill,
Sorry to hear about your father in law....always very sad when a close family member passes away no matter what age. Condolences to Richard.
Unfortunately it will be another year that we don't make Madchester.....we've organised a weekend away to Belgium cycling.
One year I will make it

Re: May CTC - unrestricted 2 minutes
Instead of waiting til the last day I thought I would start on the first one for this challenge.
Quite pleased with 1:59.5 502m it was after I'd already done 30 minutes and I've not been rowing much recently.....hopefully can find another 40-50 metres
