rant

things did not right today, things went did pete tong as they say, did not go out on the bike today only to town and back, may sit on the turbo for a bit, the ctc tomorrow are not going far, 1/2 hour down the road, so i may go out by my self get a good ride in,
talking of the ctc just reading cycle news from ctc shrewsbury, it made me laugh.
1, HEAD IN THE CLOUDS, the ctc head office has produced a strategy for the next 8 years, if you can make head or tails of the high speak language you are better person than your editor,

what the F- if the ctc has work to make a strategy why is the news letter written by the your club running down this strategy, it there to make cycling safer, and aid the club.

2, THE VIEW FROM THE BACK, also in a larger group please do not leave all the responsillity of the ride to the leader, the leader can`t always be aware of who is at the back of the group and how far behind they are, we all have different abilities and ride at at different speeds so it would help the leader.

the club runs only run at 12mph max, this way all riders should be able to ride at this speed, as a rider that can AV 20mph for 12 hours, this is slow for me, i would like to see the club runs ride at around 16mph this way you can see more of the countryside, i would love to have a group that way you could do a real club run covering say a 100 miles in a day without all this stopping, if the ctc shrewsbury did this i think it would get in more racing lads, and younger riders, a club run based on a racing club run,
