Hi Al,
I’m actually in favour of calling it off as well, for a couple of reasons:
1. Unfortunately I don’t think I will be able to attend either – I’ve somehow done some damage to the back of my right knee from Saturday’s ride. It was fine during the day but since Sat night it’s been inflamed and painful to walk on (I feel like a geriatric – now where did I leave my walking frame?) The anti-inflammatory medication has yet to kick in, and I’ve been on it for a few days now. Quite tempted not to go to work tomorrow to rest it up. I suspect that if I tempt fate on Sat and go for a ride I may end up doing more damage, particularly on the slippery tracks around Cessnock, which brings me to point 2.
2. They have forecast showers around Cessnock for the next few days and into Sat. I tend to avoid that area in the wet, as you would agree, the tracks can be deceivingly slippery. Not comforting for me at the moment with this bung knee.
Also there are a few old bulls away on this day on another ride, so what say we cancel it and reschedule for a later date when you, me and others are available, in more favourable riding conditions?
Else those old bulls who are still keen to go arrange an alternate ride amongst themselves.
Now where did I leave those slippers……:huh:
