After my third outing in the “tub” on Tuesday, Nigel tells me that I’m ready to join the eight. I won’t start until early June because the end of May is so busy for me.
By the way, after my harrowing ride last time, I have switched to diverting through Jesus Green—which avoids the Roundabout From Hell, and also exposed me to an interesting beer festival. Thanks very much to David Allsopp and Ryan Gibb for their helpful advice!
