Friday Night Ride to Jersey, 31st June 2011

You didn't have to ride in the buff again did you?

I thought that it was all cleared up when we spotted the true culprit brazenly strutting around in the buff in Lindfield back in July

 

[frank9755]

Erm, I could PM you a list if you're really interested

No need, Martin B has already provided it. This suggests that breakfast-fasting can cause the upper body to waste away

Armwarmers.

They'd probably be wrist warmers if I did fall into that particular marketing trap

Don't leave us in suspense - what are your instructions?

 

[frank9755]

One pair for each arm

If that is what the Garmin instructs!

Usually to get hopelessly lost while travelling in the opposite direction to the one I wish to travel in

oh really? red or blue? If the former, I'll take it off your hands if it hasn't gone.



Speaking as a larger gentleman with a big wingspan, the long sleeved is plenty long enough in the arm, on the longer side rather than the shorter side in fact (this is on xxxxl though)

(unlike the rapha trousers I got yesterday which claimed to be a 38, which, when measured by our garment technician were "an un-generous 36"

odd. I got pair of rapha trews in 36" which are vay generous and need a belt.

red - it's yours

excellent, how should we best exchange goods for money?

On the question of size:

I measured my L long-sleeve, thick, jersey last night. My massive manly chest is 40 inches and the jersey is an exact, snug, fit. On the Brighton run I had a thin thing underneath and it was OK. I wouldn't want it to be any smaller. I have ordered an XL so I can then wear it over my L, thus ensuring I will be warm even if there is a repetition of That Southend Death Ride.

The measurement from the pit of the arm to the end of the sleeve is 22 inches, which for me is plenty long, if anything about an inch too long but I'm certainly not complaining.
I'd also like to say I think the design is really striking and I hope to wear it on LEL. Oh God, now I've said it. There's no going back.......

Martin Br - Scott is coming over to try the XL and L on this Wednesday - he thinks the XL is more likely, so that would leave an L for you. I have your cheque

Miranda - I haven't forgotten I owe you a shirt - which I will add to the next order

All - the order will absolutely be wrapped up on the 28th September, without any exceptions. So if you want a jersey this side of any time soon, cheques in the post with plenty of time to spare. Red only please.

First there were the Rides, then the Club, and now the Jerseys.

Keeping in mind the latter, how long until we have the Bikes (complete with approprite logo)?

Remind me - is it £25 for a short sleeve?

it is!

 

[ceepeebee]

that short sleeved shirt is a very nice fit btw, seems to sit a bit better than the long (lighter material innit?)

 

[dellzeqq]

Scott has taken the XL, Martin, so the L is yours if you want it.....
