FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Whitstable 17th June 2011

[Number14]

Never volunteer, never volunteer, never ....

Damn, too late

Never ask or rely on me for directions, I took not one, not two, but five wrong turns.. Did a loop around Thamesmead with a slight sense of De ja vue.. I need a garmin...

Nah you don't believe me. All a garmin does is let you upload pretty pictures of your wrong turns when you get home!

If this horrible insomnia doesn't go away in the next few days, I think I'll have to be OUT. I am too grumpy and slow to play.

the FNRttC was born of insomnia!

+1. You'll sleep well afterwards. Don't worry about slow, either. And you'll definitely feel less grumpy after a night/morning in good company.

No fret marna, I'll be at the back and I'm sure I'll manage to make you laugh somehow.

I hope you refer to the mudguards bit coz most of the rest of the time it's a load of sh......

 

[StuartG]

DON'T PANIC - YET!

Look a little more closely at the forecasts. They all agree rain is coming through but the timings are a little different and whether it will be a short heavy pulse or lighter/longer. At this distance the time of day forecast is pretty meaningless.

So we may get drowned or just get some light rain on the way back or something in between. But for those of that persuasion might wish to test the efficacy of prayer.

Me? I'm abandoning my dreams of drinking a Belgian Monastery dry ... sob, sob.

MUDGUARDS ...

 

[marna]

I would take up kitten-throwing if I thought that I'd sleep well afterwards - but I think that staying awake all night will just make things worse, and I'm not sure that I'd be safe on my bike for the whole night after three weeks of very little sleep. I am right now finding my measly five-mile cycle to work to be much harder than it should be, and I had to flee the gym yesterday because I couldn't lift any heavy things. Whinge whine moan *grump*. I'll withhold a decision until I see if I sleep tonight & tomorrow.

that's eight nine off the list!

Stuart - I take your point. I just had to send out something, and, at the moment it does look grim. I see, though, that the Met Office is sticking with light rain and good visibility.

rain shmain......

 

[wanda2010]

No mudguards but have wet weather gear. Might bring a shot of rum for 'anti-cold/newmonia' purposes.

*prays for dry ride*

And the Ian/Iains storm into the lead ....
