some of us only joined this forum in the first place because of FNRttC
Of course since then we've discovered that CC is a veritable 'cave of wonders' but......
Please don't feel obliged to post on here because you're one of the FNRttC regulars!
It would be interesting to know where your 'but' leads to!
Dave, meet Greg - Greg, meet Dave. You two would get on like a house on fire...two rugbymen, old bones having suffered years of kicking, with all the stories and no idea - I might even join in!

I think Dave was a front row wuss, Greg - one of the donkeys with soft buttocks to welcome a second row pair of ears! And you both have a penchant for the odd stiffener or six! I am but an angel
I'm also incredibly slack in that I haven't managed to scroll down far enough to see this topic. Answer 'No' Mark.
It's organised but Informal in its nature - like I want my life to be I guess.

Funnily enough, although the threads for each ride are 'big', I spend loads of time trying to get people to write what they feel / felt about any aspect of the rides - passing the time chatting - as you do in the middle of the night.(I'm such a bore!) Hardly ever works but my chat-up skills are meagre at the best of times. I am going to get some business cards printed this year - to make sure people know where to join in, encourage more posts with more variety and more pictures, leading to more spin-off rides and friendships - perhaps. (Ref: Sunday London for example..so Informal you need to know more about conveniences and barristas, than tyre pressures and
mudguards.)
I love flipping from 'our' threads to drop the odd comment in on Colin's rides for example, (it's only friendly) and I'm surprised that more Informal groups don't exist via CChat 'association' as a 'turn up and chat/ride' operation.
Your round Greg. Dayvo will have a large one..oh, and a pint of cwrw for Mark while you're there.

Do not disturb...sleeping cyclist!
