I'm up for Randonee .. had a look and it's May 9th next year so will be marking all the dates for our cycles next year.
As for the May 18th .. I did suggest booking hotels before they get hard to come by. I found a hotel not too far from the houses of parliament which is quoted at £105 for a quad room, which works out ok. Who wants to share? Prob best to meet at Southampton Central and get train up. Once hotel is secured then we should def arrange to go out in town. As we are all on Facebook we should chat on there if we dont on here now.
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas & happy cycling New Year

Back down to earth and I wonder if anyone is feeling a wee bit flat like me? I thought we were so lucky that everyone had such a good sense of humour and comoraderie andhelped each other. When I look at the pics it is so funny and I miss you all. I am trying to get the hang of facebook but I am very unsure about it so hopefully I will be able to keep in touch with you all through this. ANYWAY, cAN i WISH YOU ALL AND YOUR LOVED ONES THE VERY mERRIEST OF cHRISTMAS'S AND A SAFE , HEALTHY HAppy New Year. God Bless you all. Aly xx

I'm up for Randonee and Solent Coast!!
Julz, I'll be up for sharing on the 18th. I've found a wonderful website where if you book multiple tickets you can get cheap train journeys - wonderful when you know how!! :o)
I'm also feeling a bit flat, not quite sure what to do with myself when not training. However, my appetite still thinks I'm training ... but hey, it's nearly Xmas and I need the winter padding :o)

Hi
I'm up for any cycle rides in 2009, the more the merrier.
Yes, I am feeling very flat at the moment and finding it very difficult to motivate myself. Have been to the gym just to keep my fitness levels up, but need something to focus on.
Still miss all of you, we did have such a good time.
Wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Deena

Hi Girls
I think we all feel a little bewildered and flat, we had such a great time together, now we are all back in our folds, and if any one is like me I have to check facebook and the kodak sites daily to see who has added new photos so I can re-live the memory, how sad am I.
Like Jules, Sam and Elaine, and I am sure a few others I am up for the solent and what ever else is on offer, although I am probably the only one who hasnt been in the gym or on my bike since I have been back.
Elaine I will look at hotel accommodation and a show in the new year, I will try to get a general concensous of what everyone would like to see, and how much (which could be the problem). I know there are a couple of places where you can rent 8 bedroom apartments for the weekend, which could work out cheaper. Once Christmas is done and dusted I will put the wheels in motion and keep you informed. How do we want to keep intouch, do you find it easier on the forum, or do we want to use facebook.
Thinking of next year what about meeting up for a lovely weekend, maybe with only a short cycle or even no cycle just a lovely lunch a bit of shopping and then a slap up meal in the evening, oh god it sounds like I'm hungry and can only think of food!!!! (must be christmas).
What ever we decide it would be lovely to meet up with you all, cos I miss you's.
Luv to each and everyone of you and your family's luv Sue xxxxxxxxxxx

Yep, ditto....
Am missing you girls, even waved at Sarah on the telly at 3.30am this morning.
Suz you're brill for agreeing to arrange hotel and show.
Am up for the randonee, will try to persuade Deena to come down with me.
Cards in the post for Weds, didn't see any cycling ladies though!!!
Did anyone who sent postcards from Cuba get them yet? I may have to write a letter of complaint to Roul re his postal service soon!
Just checked out some China bike rides on you tube, there's a whole lot of them to go through, but the scenery looks amazing

What about starting a China 2010 forum, I won't be doing it but I can still chat to you all and join in with the get togethers.
I can't believe it's christmas next week, we have got 11 people for christmas day lunch and I've done nothing for it. I'm then off to work for 4.30pm, yippee - not.
I'm up for all cycle rides, the more the merrier. I also miss you all, I keep checking the forum but not many people have been writing on it.
I'm still trying to sort out the dvd, for some reason we can't get it to play on a dvd player or any other computer, I was hoping to send them out with christmas cards, you will kill yourself laughing at our attempt to sing Bohemian Rhapsody on the last day.
Have a fantastic Christmas and new year, love to you all

hi everyone
Yep I feel exactly the same as all of you -
am def up for rides next yr! Like sam I am still eating like I am training so the weight is going on but the fitness is going down! I really need something to aim for - flat is a good word to describe how I feel despite Being up to my neck in work, concerts, parties and school plays!
Sarah when we make DVDs we have to "finish" the DVD b4 it'll play on other devices - have u done that?
Donna can't believe u saw me on tv- I always assume no one is watching at that time of day!
Have a fab Xmas everyone - I am up to my brothers in north Wales again but not taking my bike cox no room in car without leaving all the presents and food behind! So no cycling in snowdonia for me this time
Lots of love - miss u all

Hi,
Sarah I wasn't up I was not asleep, and not on purpose.... I waved and said hi Sarah to the telly at which point Rob sat bolt upright and grunted, and promptly fell back to sleep!
DVD - it could be that you need to download this thing from the internet to convert it into something...... I'll get the details off Ellis's techie friend again.
Right girlies, Sarah M has selfishly decided not to join us but is most def right about setting up a China forum. At her selfish insistance I'll do it... only cos she knows we'd make her come with us if she does it.
The saddle is still off my bike and what with all of Christmas festivities I haven't been to the gym for a week. Boo Hoo.
Will be training for the Randonee next year. I bet that Amanda will be leading the way with that one.
Off to Create a are you up for China page.
Donna

Hi
Saddle and pedals still not back on my bike, perhaps do something about it after the Christmas break.
Definitely up for the Randonee and starting to save for China in the new year.
Not been accepted for the Moon Walk next year and am gutted, never mind must now focus the mind on doing lots of bike rides and anything else that crops up.
Good on you Donna for starting a China page.
I went to see Justina today, Donna, and she has worked wonders with my back problem. Going for another session in January all being well.
Once again MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.
Love
Deena

Hi Girls
I have had to work hard since back from Cuba to get rid of the 7 pounds i put on whilst out there. Can u believe it. I can as that is what i do. Knew if i didn't do something about it it would be a stone after christmas. Natalie coming down this weekend for a few days will be nice to see her. Only been on bike a couple of time since the weather got worse bit worried about the ice so stick to the gym now for time being. The girl doing Jordan from Plymouth not replied on forum since before Cuba so not sure if she still doing it.
Postcards - no none of mine have arrived. And we thought Royal Mail could be bad.
Like the idea of China forum as i can access this from work but i can't do facebook hence not on it very often.
Up for cycle rides as u know don't mind travelling.
If i don't speak before have a lovely christmas..
Donna did you put that list in the post for me or would it be quicker and easier to send it via email. My adress is on the list.
Amanda

Brill, brill, brill..........thought Id be upbeat for a change.
I will def get myself in order after Xmas. Amanda i cant believe you put weight on. I managed to loose 1stone whilst out in Cuba but have probably managed to put two back on since. How I wish I could work in pounds.
Susie, you cheered me up. Fantastic original Xmas greeting. Can I just wish each and everyone of you a fabulous Christmas just in case you dont receive my greetings cards.
Julz, I am up for sharing in May. I think the girls missed your comment about the reasonable accomodation because it does sound good. Wait till New Year before booking though as money is getting tight.
I am now going to check out the China forum. We should be able to out number the visits on that one. Wonder if we get a prize for the most hits on one site so for. Farewell Cuba event.

Hi Ruth,
Please email me on justingordon-farleigh@uwclub.net. I tracked you down on the net from Christian Singles (or Whatever it's called). I am not a paid up member so could not reply to your smile. :)
