Hi, I’m having some technical issues and running a bit late, really sorry for that. How late can I show up/catch up with you to make it? No problem if you cannot wait, just wanted to check

I think I will be max 15 mins late

Thanks for the ride this morning everyone, and in particular to the ride leaders - notably Geoff and Rachel (apologies I cannot recall the other names!)

I was thinking perhaps we could all chip in for a club sponsored/branded road sweeper to preen the route and prevent a thousand punctures :-)

Great to meet everyone - thanks for the chat and friendly atmosphere.

See you all on a club ride some time soon.

Cheers

Lovely to meet you @DanClements
I had another puncture on leaving the pub to add to the collection! It was a huge thorn probably from where the farmer was clearing the hedgerow on the route….aaarrrgghhh!!!!!

Funnily enough, I must have gotten a puncture yesterday too, but maybe a smaller one as I got the flat tyre only this morning....... :)

@RachelD sorry to hear about the flat!

Can we simply go ahead and join the club to participate in rides now?

Yes! Just this link to join: https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/club/profile/2040/islington-cycling-club

Does anyone know how long the jersey takes to ship? I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago now.

Thanks!

Hi there. I’ll check, but I think 4-5 weeks in total. We’ve just moved to a new supplier and it hasn’t been an easy process. This will be the first batch from the new supplier 😊

Okay thanks. Also one more, is there somewhere that explains how the coloured levels work? Is silver faster than blue?

Hi
The speed order is green, silver, blue and black. You can find the details on the Islington website here: https://islington.cc/ride-pacing

Hi when will the October date / link be released?

Shortly. It's normally 4 weeks after the last one.

Hi Spinner - I heard today that the first (ever) batch from our new manufacturer is expected mid-September.
