The Rumour
Rumour has it that this man, aka Bloomers, made a return the M1 Bunch on the weekend. Apparently he was there at the carpark at the start of the ride and he was there for a brew at Craig's, though in his tracky-dacks. Not sure what happened in between, but....rumour has it.. he never made it out of the carpark; the obligatory flattie. At least tradition is being upheld, Bloomers is known to have a flattie or three.

The Sunday Sessions
Well the Sunday roadie ride started out exactly the same as the Saturday morning ride - a flattie within 1k of leaving the start. Snapper thought he was at the Nitro Circus try outs and was jumping all over the road to avoid the hole.... or maybe he was just being mindful of his nice new steed and didn't want any first week bingles??
Croz was in charge of the flat tyre change - no instructions needed today Caro! Might I say though that I think the instructions are a mighty good idea for newbie riders (and those that don't ride with their own mechanics) however, you may want to leave out the "squeal like a girl" part when you use the gas cylinder - that was a little embarrassing Croz!!
Unfortunately for us, there was no coffee shop to pull up at in Goondoon Street at 5:30am so we had to change the flat and ride on. I can honestly tell you that I was looking around pretty darn hard for that coffee shop too.

The Snapped Snapper Ride
In breaking news from the ride this morning, the Snapper got Snapped in the paceline but none other than his better half Skeeter. There were no flatties or mechanicals involved - just sheer guts, strength, determination and awesomeness on Skeeter's part!!!!!!! And as always, everything you read on the blog is true!
Snapper did take revenge along Anderson Way, driving it on the front and splintering what was left of the bunch to pieces.
New rider Monty turned up for his third road ride this week and even felt compelled to join Captain Anderson and myself for another stroll over Haddock. I believe Andy may have even ventured out there as well??? Chris did an awesome job of controlling the bunch this morning in the absence of our beloved Hef.
If you didn't get a chance to get out this morning, Jordan is heading up the MTB ride that will leave from Choice petroleum at Sunvalley at 5:30pm.
