i disremember anything on a retro ride on 1 Nov. If there is anything planned let me know. If there is nothin; it still is a good idea! Would host one here in Kensington if there is interest. (just off Beach Drive).

Somwere in the middle front, and low on the bike. Oh, why hadn't I checked for frame cracks, overhauled the BB, tightened chainring bolts, torqued crank arms, snugged stem nuts and/or saddle bits? Visions of walking home arose, as I didn't have the cell phone with me, and I doubted I could fix whatever this was with the few tools I had. I was being punished, no doubt, for greed, sloth lust, envy and and not training sufficiently this year.
