Re: January ctc - 6k TT

Hi everyone, Well its been a while. Over the past couple of months managed the odd row. Rowing has been a struggle since I fractured my ankle. I decided I would attempt to get back on the machine. Logged a very poor 6k. Cycling has been my thing since Covid started. Got myself on Strava and been enj...

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
