Entry form filled in . . .

Or to the start

Was it sleep deprivation or do I remember scoffing cake at English Marty's in Strood once and someone shouted out "Does anyone have a pentagonal Allen key?"
Maybe I dreamed it.

(That was also, I think, the time I had a mudguard snafu, and was relieved to be able to secretly fix with duck tape it at Strood without anyone seeing)

Form done.

Or to the start

Don't even go there. Few years back one of my gear cables snapped 1/2 mile from Hyde Park Corner. At least I had a yard of Jaffa Cakes to sustain the rather dejected journey home.

Ooo. Bummer. But, better there and then than in the wild unlit parts.

My bold.
They exist. I've used one.
It came with something - but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was.
Sorry.

On the Man Of Kent 200k PBP qualifier one of @frank9755 's gear cables broke. He tied it to a bottle cage and the lack of gears slowed him right down - to my pace so he pottered along as we chatted. (But after the Romney March cafe he sped up and was back well before me.)

Hmmm.....
Yes.
But I've a feeling that what I used it for wasn't bike related - more likely museum/public space tamper-proof related - so similar mission behind it, I guess.

If you dreamt it, then so did I, and as others have suggested it was probably for a security skewer. I don't remember if that was Wetstable or wonderful-tailwind-stable

Just spotted that the ride is open and have signed up.

I plead guilty to:

• telling the London Brompton Club, on one of their first rides in 2012, about FNRttC and what a splendid club it was
• having the puncture on my Brommie front wheel at London Bridge during this year's Southend ride
• providing @Mr Orange with a cable-tie to fix his Brommie derailleur during this year's Whitstable ride

I cannot think of any extenuating circumstances and throw myself upon the mercy of the court.

 

[mmmmartin]

Your guilty plea is accepted and you are sentenced to spend A Lifetime riding with The Fridays.

 

[ianmac62]

The judge only said a few words but it was a long sentence.

It would be fun to see a list of runners if that's not too much grief. TIA !!
