Sunday best people, batteries are charging. (I'll be joining you)

Unless i can shake this cold, I might have to re-think and put on an extra layer.

Assuming it isn't raining or wet, and assuming I can disentangle a couple of bikes from the current bike jungle that is the balcony, and make sure they work OK, then @adamski and I will be at East Croydon between 0815 and 0830.

 

[PippaG]

Yeah - if the roads are wet I don't want to get a soggy bottom.

Cue: Mel and Sue.....

In anticipation of a dry forecast, I'm putting air in the tyres of the Van Nic and fresh batteries into the Hopes.
(Mustn't confuse the two)

 

[PippaG]

Mudguards.

Nah - I've been riding a heavy bike with guards for the last 10 months. This is my opportunity to ride the lightweight road bike, with no guards and see how I get on.

You going to ride a heavy bike with guards for the next 10 months?

I have been..... on the commute

 

[ianrauk]

Heavy? You don't know the meaning of the word.

Compared to my VN, My commuter with full mudgaurds and double panniers....is heavy

You need a bike rack. Errrr.....

Looking forward to joining up with @User and others at Crawley but might be slightly later than the suggested 11:30.
As there's talk of cafes, am I right that Crawley is likely to be a lunch stop? If so, no problem meeting there, otherwise I'll be chasing you lot down the A23.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Team Abingdon, that's me and Peter G. Will hook-up with BIL Paul an team Kent @Salty seadog and @User21629 IN Coulsdon and ride over to East Croydin for ETA 0800 to 0815.

One more short sleep!

I'm out I'm afraid. I appear to have had a visit from the lurgy fairy overnight.
