^ Just have a shot of brandy whenever you have a Gregg's mince pice. Simples.

Yup. Some of their 'special' produce. Only available at the dalston bakery of course

^ It's a good job I didn't get a bag of them I tell thee! I did get two with the intention of having one tomorrow.

It's already gone down the hatch. Inevitable really.

Finally got my chops around a Gregg's mice pie... superb. Tastes really homemade, great pastry.

The sausage roll to warm up the tastebuds was pretty ace too, in a filthy kind of way

My earlier comments on Pretorius taking themselves too seriously weren't meant as any sort of dig by the way... Any faster-paced club runs always take on that wannabe-pro vibe, and I'm guilty of it myself.

Good to see there's a club available for East London that sets out on good strong rides!
^ And yes, the kit is decent. A lot better than most of the lairy club kits out there.

^ Thanks. I do some work for my core and back in the gym, so think I'm ok in that respect, I think it's just I'm really tight / tense. They do yoga classes at mygym, which I tried, but just got bored tbh. I just want some positions I can do in my own time at home really

I have a pretty tight chest and rolled shoulders (I stand up straight, but my shoulders just tend to come forward a bit), which means I'm really 'elbows out' when riding. Y'know, the Chris Horner look.

Can any recommended stretches / positions to try to sort it out a bit? Have done some googling but it's a bit of a minefield.

^Thank you! Fingers crossed...

I was out there early doors, and nothing. Sorry dude, that really sucks. You could get in touch with Pretorius (the club / shop) - they were out yesterday too

I'm in on this too.... Dunno if I'm more excited or scared

^ I crossed paths with a Pretorius club run today.... Must have been about 20 of them; almost too many for Essex's little lanes.

What's the deal with their shop then? Wasn't aware of it til I got home and googled it. See!s to be a custom build place?

They were taking themselves very seriously I thought. But not as seriously as me of course.

Finally watched the hunger games. great Saturday might mong out material I thought

^same here, totally random for me

Tonight's finding: Sam smith's beer on tap is fucking filth

^ I'm not a premium member.

I just went back and looked at the ride and it's showing up as normal (i.e., old style), but when I'd just uploaded it, it came up in the jazzy new format. Maybe it's some kind of soft launch.

If you take a look around your profile, there's links everywhere saying 'preview the new ride page' - it's to do with that

The page where you see all the details of your ride has been revamped. Looks good, lot more info. Apparently they've done something to the segments bit, but my ride was just a turbo session so don't know what it is yet.

Think it only works on newly-uploaded rides rather than backdating all the old stuff.

Just broke my mince pie virginity for the year. Was a pretty crap mini one from work, but it has set off the cravings nonetheless... need more! Still yet to get to a Greggs. Needs to be done asap I think.

^ Or you're just a fanny.

Necked a nuun drink before going to bed after about 3 pints too many last night. No hangover. Win.

^ The ear / neck flap thing is amazing. I kind of want to be wearing it now coz it's so comfy.

You must be a yeti or something if you've only just moved into heavy tights though!

Although I've complained about it being too hot earlier in the thread, the country hat was an absolute winner at 6.45 this morning. Felt like my head was wrapped in a duvet

^ My apologies.

Froome for BBC sports personality 2013? Can't see it happening. I guess you need a personality to win it...

I've signed up.. will probably end up doing about 50km, but hey. The plan / pipe dream is 4 or 5 realistic length rides rather than trying to smash it in 2 sessions or something.

Would be way better if it was 22nd - 29th for me.

^ glad to hear it

Eaten an unhealthy amount of peanut butter today. Newest creation is pb, Marmite and cottage cheese on toast.
