Done.

Welcome +Ryan_79!

+shannonball - Sounds best.

+Laura - I will stop now. I was just being mischievous.

+Laura - Noted. Apologies. I am sure they call you lot something different in Lancashire.

Given the number of "Yorkshirepersons" we have in the club I often have that feeling.

Crikey.
I am not going to weigh in on the public sector/private sector issue as I would hate for +shannonball to feel got at.
When you take account of US public and local holidays US employees get significantly more than two weeks a year. Where is our Memorial Day, Labor Day, MLK Day, etc al? As you might expect, I have this debate with my US partners all the time!
As regards US healthcare it is not like a second mortgage, as least not unless you mandate that everyone has to have it and the terms on which they do so, which is what is happening currently. And the US has very significant subsidised/free healthcare programmes such as Medicare and Medicaid. And as regards quality of care, I refer you to Mid-Staffs. US/UK mortality rates for key disorders show the failings of the NHS all too clearly, and given current demographics the NHS simply won't be there when you need it. (If, heaven forbid, anything serious were to happen to me I am out of here on the first flight.)
So book your ticket +shannonball. If it wasn't such a socialist republic I might choose Oregon myself. It has to be Wyoming for me, especially given how great the skiing is.
(I am now going to retire to my bunker.)

Indeed. Time trials. Witch trials. All bases covered.

+ShauNuff - WI? As long as he spares us the photos from his "Calendar Girls" photoshoot, I am relaxed.

+Shannonball - Three?

Thanks, Laura. You make a fair, and important, point.

Well done everyone.
Thanks +Laura, +Ali and +Morgan for leading this.

+Mike_B - Welcome!

Andy,
It is great to have you on board. Welcome!

Welcome.
It would make sense for you to attend one of the forthcoming Intro rides if you can. Pending that, do feel free to join us on either Saturday or Sunday. As regards Sunday, I suggest you try the C Group and see how you get on. As for Saturday, the 8am group would be a better starting point as the 7am ride is intended for those with more experience of riding quickly in a group.
I hope that helps and look forward to seeing you on one of the rides soon.

Welcome, Andrew.

Martine - Well done, and welcome!

Tom,
Great. I am glad you enjoyed it.
It was certainly a perfect day!
Best,
Richard

Welcome Scott!
