Hello Greg. Trust you had a good holiday? I thought you were going to get Admin to amputate the Grumpy bit?

Maybe just remove the 'G' given your present 'ass'ignation...B)

Now the Aged P wants to know why I'm LOL!

Bognor...'flattish'? Not very flattish in my book, far too many climbs to call it that.

Where were these 'climbs'? I don't recall ever having done such a downhill route. There was that 17% bit but that only lasted about 100yds.

Splendid Holiday. Cornwall was an unexpected delight, a feast for the senses, the journey there a dream (thanks to both SW Trains and Mick F of the CTC forum), the accommodation adorable, the drive to Wales with the Lovely Helen was fun as we got lost twice and laughed instead of arguing, the few days there a revelation, the bike ride home (Pt I) from Llanidloes to Littleton-on-Severn a dream and the bike ride home Pt II Littleton - Reading memorable for woeful planning, poor prepartion (who'd have thought some of those numbers I wrote down were miles not kilometres), a lack of maps damn you Amazon, getting lost in Brizzle, the hoodies I met there who boosted my faith in human nature, stunning views, an unforced canalside off, wonderful rural industrial archaeology on the Kennet and Avon and a near death experience involving a geriatric driver the total of which led its abandonment at Pewsey some way short of the intended destination. TMI!

and I've applied this afternoon for an amputation; thank you for reminding me

Howdy all,

I am new to this site but have heard about these events in the past. A colleague of mine from work also completed the last Bognor ride some of you were on and said he had a great time.

Is there a process for a newbie like myself to potentially join please? And more importantly, are there any spots still available? I also have another friend that may be interested.

Simon - you appear to have Andrea listed twice. Ruth is still pondering the logistics, so could you keep the question mark over her for a moment? I am pressing her for a decision...

I brought a whole bevy of lovelies on the last two - they were eager to meet the legendary Davywalnuts. But he didn't show, and now they don't believe he exists. They told me they won't bother coming again.

I travelled all the way from Hull on Saturday for Topcat1's Southend ride so I come meet properly the now almost legendary Davywalnuts. Not to meet in the same context as the ladies on the forum you understand

Apparently some sort of a cramp had occured and he missed the ride.
