Hi George. I get it. That Ridley CC club sound awesome, do everything a bit different.
And why not?
But makes me smile, guys (and ladies?) cycling those sort of miles, then have a party, smoking & drinking?
Don't get me wrong, as I do both, but I always find it surprising (and I don't know why) as I saw a photo on this site a while ago, of a group of cyclists, and half of then were smoking...

But I guess back then, different attitudes to a LOT of things...
