*Come to think of it, if the Tories are the C of E in politics, are the CTC not the C of E on a bike? All those tea stops and a nice steady pace.
Can't be, too many CTC rides are on Sunday mornings, therefore the intersection of CTC membership and CofE must be like me the CTC members who do not partake in the rides.
None on Saturdays round your way? Or even Wednesday evenings (other evenings are available)?
Come to that, does the C of E not do Saturday evening services?
No there are no Saturday CTC rides round my way and Saturday evening Mass is a Catholic method of observing Mass without interfeering with Sundays.
Yes Reading CTC have a Wednesday Evening ride but I would have to attend straight from work without eating first and that feels like a recipe for Bonk.
Well the solutions for Wednesdays are simple:
a) Find a reason to leave work early
b) If no reason accepted, slip off while your boss isn't looking
c) Take some food in a saddlebag
d) Persuade the ride to stop for a pub meal, early
e) Isn't Bledlow otp a regular on these rides? In which case, he'll lead the rides past your door, slowing down for you to catch up!
Admittedly the weekly combination of a/b and d might result in bankruptcy, but apart from that, no problem!
