I have cleared my diary so I can do this.....Rather madly I also doing a ride home with RB58.

 

[leyton condor]

I have just received a new cassette, chain + 2 chainrings today, so thats 3 weeks minus a few days to work out how to install them and I should be at London fields. Hopefully I will see you there.

Okay, I have just booked myself onto the 12:17 from Diss to Liverpool St, with bike reservation made. Looking forward to this ride now, just need to plan my strategy

 

[rb58]

Are we intending a cyclechat peloton? What time were people thinking of starting?

I was thinking 8 for 9 7 for 8
That was what we did last year. Was a good time to leave as it was just getting dark through Epping Forest.

that's nice, I'm running my whole bloody chain set into what must be it's final life, wondering if it's goof for DD, I sure as hell can't afford to replace it, season ticket renewal for the football has sucked my limited extras budget bone dry

the queue for the cafe is a bloody shag but it's lovely once you're in, hot food and tea is a lovely thing after all that dark

what a horrible deathly silence regarding the van with all those good things packed inside

as ever, I fancy trying the ride back, I swear only a crocked front wheel stopped me last year, I actually felt fairly good last year, granted after a couple of big rolls of fried food, a few teas and a couple of stellas, hmm

anyway, eat whatever is available there, start early, get there early and get a fried breako before the mob arrives, pub lunch on the way home

a small one to avoid the retreat from Moscow effect I discover riding home from Cambridge, I don't fancy that feeling again

two bitters for me last year

and the year before, maybe three the year before, that year will watched me drink them with very polite disapproval mixed with amusement as he sipped a coke

Well put!

How many copies of the van key can we have? In all seriousness I'm going to try to ride hard so theoretically should get there early(ish).

Oooh...I'm short too!

 

[Tynan]

there's no promise of a van at all will, shockingly

Steve was willing but the bloody new son in law wants to ride, canyoubeleiveit

I certainly want to get there early for cafe scram and then set off to (try and) get home before the end of the weekend but I fear (know for certain) that your try to ride hard and mine will be hours apart

 

[Tynan]

Well put!

how very polite of you frank

I was going to try a metaphor for my body strining for enough oxygen to keep my legs going round and my stomach digesting that lunch but gave up

 

[Tynan]

good news!

a fat cheque arrived today for a job the lady wife did over a year ago and budget is approved for the bike to be spiffed as necessary

maybe even in campag gear!
