FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Southend-on-Sea May 4th

[GrumpyGregry]

Adrian, no wonder those brave Brommie riders don't want to tell the world they intend to ride their Bromptons' if that is the level of support they receive from the wider #FNRttC. I personally think those Brommie riders should be proud and proclaim their intention and as way of protest I will be with withholding beer from you and Martin!!!!!!!!

Last I heard Adrian was an to be an attention seeking twat too. In fact, the whole bendy bikes to Southend vibe is his idea!

Now then, I've just received the weather forecast email from Our Glorious Leader. I have yet to show it to HMQM. She may well elect to stay in her scratcher. I have a bendy bike at my disposal. What could possibly go wrong?

I have the loan of a yellow handbag

I may be riding back,with a stop at the bird sanctuary.

Not speedy 12-15 mph

all dependant on weather my feets get wet

That track pump is a palaver in itself. It put less air into Topcat's tyre than it took out. And then made the tube explode 30 mins later.

 

[topcat1]

the tyre exploded coz i topped up with co2 which is a no no

 

[martint235]

the tyre exploded coz i topped up with co2 which is a no no

Huh? You can't have air and co2 in the same tyre????

 

[topcat1]

it's the ratio,i topped up from 65psi, from a lower pressure you should be ok

I have fixed my first Brompton puncture today after I picked up a massive flint on London Bridge. What a palaver and that was a front one. I have now slimed both tubes and tried the free track pump near the Imperial War Museum

I think I have some spare 'cones' somewhere?

 

[Shadow]

a new rider is being met at Liverpool Street by a regular - would you like to hook up with them?

Thanks but not necessary. I was meaning sat a.m. not friday p.m. - should have been more precise.

Cones?

AKA Icecream Cones

 

[Mice]

AKA Bob, AKA icecream cones, understood now. Unfortunately I have just bought some new wheels

Coolio!

You're definitely all set for Southend then!

You missed out "Attention seeking"

Three excellent reasons why my Brommie will be staying at home (in addition to the fact that I cant find a way of marking the correct seat height and have therefore hurt my knee) Will be ok on the roadbike tho

I am quite capable of being a complete prat/twat (inadvertently attention seeking or otherwise) without actually signing up to it from the start!
