…and I think it’s still too warm for Gary.

I look forward to seeing him when the temperature drops below zero.

Or the alternative (Mike Field and Flapjack) view.

Quite cold, threat of rain, bloody windy. Gorgeous day for a forty miler, meet at 9 if you’re hard enough.

Slight hitch with the kit, won’t be ordering before Xmas.

5 Things I have learnt today

1. If the Valley Road crew are on time, they are up to something.

2. Sometimes there are more non-Dynamos club jerseys than Dynamos club jerseys on a Dynamos club run.

3. Sometimes the short route does not feel particularly short.

4. If a road sign says ‘Deep Ford Ahead’ there is probably a deep ford ahead.

5. Vertical rivers of cow shit do exist and it is possible to cycle up them.

Remembrance Sunday

There was quite a crowd gathered at Bloomfield this morning. Pete, Mad Doig, Gwen, Beloved Chairman, the G’s Nick and Matt, Tom, Flapjack, a chap with an orange bike dressed head to toe in orange (a Dutchman?), quite possible one or two others and my Sweaty self.

The weather was good, of course, and the route posted in plenty of time but I think the reason for the massive turnout was because it was Remembrance Sunday, a chance to remember our fallen colleagues. At the appointed time, 9.05 or ValleyRoad o’clock we held a minutes silence to remember the sadly missed and fondly remembered Mr and Mrs Valleyman.

Our Beloved Chairman followed this with an emotional speech recounting Kim’s fluid pedalling style and 10% discount for Dynamos members as well the more cautionary tale of Ian’s furious pace setting followed by the inevitable Paula Radcliffesque lolling of head, back, arms and even legs as his misguided bravado took its inevitable toll.

After much clearing of throats and wiping of eyes the group set off towards Freshwater East. We hacked along at a fine pace, our Glorious Chairman, Mad Doig and I sporting our Movember facial hair, Matt the beginnings of a ‘Grav Goatee’ and Celia her lovely year round down.

The ride itself was everything a club ride should be, lots of chatting, everyone staying together and a good deal of smiling. When we hit the Ridgeway the group split into two with the early birds heading home. This faction further fractured in Tenby when I stopped to watch my son play rugby.

Now, it could have been the Sun in my eyes or the sheer emotion of the day but later, as I meandered up Narberth hill towards the monument, I could have sworn I glimpsed the Valley Road Two heading towards Plum Vanilla whilst discussing the do’s and don’t’s of polytunnel use.

I miss them!

Anyone else?

Hi Matt

Ruth and I definitely coming, will bring the deposit to Turbo on Tues.

Hopefully, everyone who was interested in ordering club kit has had a chance to see the samples. What we actually order and the price paid will depend on the total quantity of each item wanted. From the interest shown I think we will be in a position to order two or three products. Obviously, the kit will come in the club colours.

1.Club jersey – This can be long or short sleeved, normal or winter material, choice of zip lengths and personalised with a name if you wish.

2. Gilet – Full zip, optional mesh back, personalised etc

3. Wind Jacket – Full zip etc

All the details can be found following this link

Please post in the next week or so if you require kit. I will need full details of the kit you want plus sizes etc.

If we order before the end of November we should have the stuff by Christmas.

The Nails Two, Sweaty ‘Hard As’ Eds and Flap ‘Harder Than’ Jack, met in the Colosseum at the appointed hour. They acknowledged each other with an exchange of steely glances and headed out into the teeth of the gale. Dodging the falling branches and flying chimney pots the Nails Two reminisced upon more clement times when the club rides were swelled by the keep fit sunbathers and resolved to keep the club rides going all year even if it was just going to be the two of them.

After a pleasant meander, Hard As headed home leaving Harder Than to complete his century before a well earned Sunday lunch.

Dear Fashionistas

Valleyman may or may not produce an order form before he decamps for Morrocco. If he does, ordering will be self-explanatory. If he does not then I’ll post further details about ordering and paying here.
