FNRttC London to Shoreham Friday 2nd June 2017

[mmmmartin]

70 still signed up with 20 first timers. I'll go over my safety briefing notes again...........

Three Ls
Lingering - until the All Upper passes
Loos - leave the bike visible so the back party know to stop and wait until you return to the bike
Lights.

It turns out that Temple Meads is just far enough from my house to ensure a thorough soaking.

Bummer.

Did you fall in the river or floating dock?

High tide's a bitch.

Please feel free to treat me like a first-timer. I shall probably be acting like a very lame one.

Guys, am out. Sadly Wimper's cat Henry died unexpectedly this morning, (probable accident) and we did not have his loss confirmed until early afternoon.
Very sad. Will stay and hug Wimpers lots.

London-Shoreham-Deal can wait.

This now means it won't rain!
Enjoy.
FF.

Unlike this. Sorry to hear your news, and we'll see you on another ride soon.

[QUOTE 4826140, member: 21629"]Please don't be surprised if I won't turn up …There're problems in my family (I was told about that only yesterday evening) and I cannot disconnect my brain from it.[/QUOTE]
Hope it works out well x

I AM ON THE TRAIN!
UNBELIEVABLY warm tonight, probs the warmest night ride ever. Might be a tad late for the traditional Waterloo coffee & gossip as the train is delayed by 25 minutes. Don't wait for me. See you at South Bank.

Put it in your jersey pocket?

Tried putting in jacket back pocket but too shallow. Baselayer underneath so no pockets on that

Regretfully after over sleeping and feeling well below par I'm having to pull out. Will text the boss.

I do not recommend mislaying your wallet at the last minute.....

(Fortunately it was underneath the bike.)

When I had to close the window at 8 30 because I was getting chilly I resolved on the warm longs and the soft shell jacket. I may have over-compensated.
