Re: Leyland Brothers ride (BR6)
I think they've all rejected the name of the ride. Personally.... I don't like it either.

I've been interested in joining since BR3 but i saw a mention of 67kph on the flat and my hopes faded quicker than you can say "dropped" Would there be any objection to me tagging along for as long as possible and then just leaving me behind? I dont want to be holding ppl up is all  |

Even if you should drop off the back after that, the bunch comes back together again once it gets back into suburbia. It's really only on the climbs that the bunch tends to fragment a bit. So Yes come along and give it a go. Geoff |
