Pain killers is what you need. That way you can worry about the pain afterwards. You know it makes sense.

(actually it doesn't make sense at all and it hurts more than child birth when the pain killers stop working but fun at the time. )

Rideout's depend largely on the weather as the TV lot seem to think that their bikes will dissolve if it rains. Rideouts thus far have been fairly regular - roughly once a week. We try to have a combination of smaller morning or afternoon runs combined with occational day long rides such as our last one to Brighton.

Shame you cant make tomorrow's ride but I hope that you will come and meet us on Tuesday at the Shire. You can come by car if your thumb is dodgy and there should be people there from 6pm onwards. Personally I usually arrive at 7.30 cause I commute from London.

PS - the Ape may look like a friendly creature but please dont feed him as he will bite.

So you're coming tomorrow then?

I went on last weekends rideout with my finger looking like this.



End result was two stitches ripped out. Hey, it's only pain right.

Ooh...you could have a 'lightning strike' style scar.
