It was 3 degrees. If we cancelled rides at that temp we would only ride 3 times a year.

How the fuck did they get a swab in that cunts throat? It's full of razors!

The winter weekday rides are done on set routes due to the added risk of riding in the evening. The summer and weekend rides all year are on differing routes. These aren't risk assessed. They're done by the ride leader. They're usually on roads that they / we know. But again the whole rides aren't risk assessed so doing something like cancelling rides due to weather I just think the club are leaving themselves open.

spic mick NNo it was a bloke called Ronnie Dunne

But based in Spain Either that or Diego is a mick too.

I am looking at you @strawb. I am a a member of a cycle club and in the early days with fewer members it was a lot more fluid. Now we have 400+ members from what I last heard and the H&S understandably has come in. The majority is for the good. A few years ago we appointed a 'H&S officer' Someone I don't think is even qualified as a H&S professional like you Srawb. Last couple of people who have held it have been older riders some with more life experience, but not necessarily riding experience. During the winter we have two set rides on two set routes to mitigate risk. Sensible IMO. Last night the committee and H&S person decided to cancel the rides due to the below freezing conditions. It was forecast to have a 'feel like' -4 (I know that's time to put a jumper on for you but my whippet shivers at that). All the ride leaders are volunteers and FWIW I would have chosen not to ride last night. Now my question is. At what point does a club start wandering into grey area and leaving themselves open? If a volunteer wants to ride out with a group of people who themselves are not being forced out. Are we taking away a level of self risk assetsment? Doesn't that leave the club open if someone falls on a ride because of gravel on a junction that the club didn't point out in their ride risk assements?

Steve Wraith likes it.

The medical will have been late. They'll announce mid morning for photos at the ground etc. True Faith poddy has a great interview with ewerk on. Well worth a listen.

What's this kid like? Vlahovic? Where is our Italian correspondent?

@Christmas Tree come on, whats the flight radar situation?

I think Botman if we do get him will be late in the transfer window. They want the sell but they will play hardball to get the best price.

Digne to Chelsea to sit on the bench.

Did you used to work with Gary Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarlow?

I wouldn't mind seeing the young lads play tbh. This is a season where I couldn't give a fuck if we were knocked out in the 3rd round.

Botman please.
