FNRttC London to WHITSTABLE - 25 August 2017

[velovoice]

All sorted.
I think....

 

[Nigel182]

In and Form done

 

[Salty seadog]

In, first one for me.

 

[mmmmartin]

In. Form done.

 

[User10571]

Sorry chaps. Im out.
Bloody @User10571 decides to do his first night ride in gazonks and I can't make it. Typical.

I am touched by your disappointment.
FWIW, I am equally crestfallen that our paths are unlikely to cross on this ride.
An extra biggly man-hug awaits you, the next time we meet
Or we could do the presidential hand shake thing.... like a tug-o-war.... but less/fewer (options for the grammer pedants) orange....

See you on the road.

 

[rb58]

Erm, in......

 

[mmmmartin]

Erm, in......

Glad to hear it, hope you've filled in the form. Who's the ride leader by the way?

 

[User10571]

Erm, in......

In on fixed?

 

[rb58]

In on fixed?

Hmmm. Wasn't planning to as I'll be at the front. But seeing as we could be taking the Strawberry Hill variation instead of Basser, I might re-think. Getting up Bysing Wood on the way back on a 67" gear would be, well, entertaining :-)

Heh!
I've done various bits of the ride on fixed, but never all of it.
Given the absence of Basser Hill, I feel I owe it to the ride to give it a go (with reservation of the right to change my mind at the last moment)
What is this 'on the way back' of which you speak?
I can see me deploying the 24" gear on Bysing Wood. If I was riding it....

Des has done it, as has MikeE, probably amongst one or two others...
Why am I even asking the question......
I'll go with fixed until such time as someone drums some sense into my head.

Oh! BTW. I've not been on a bike in the past 5 weeks...
What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Nick Saddlesore]

Do you mean Raspberry Hill Lane? I can't find a nearby Strawberry. If so, I'll join the fixed contingent.

 

[ianrauk]

yes, he means Raspberry Hill

Raspberry Hill it is.
Its good to know someone is on the ball with the navigations.....

ETA - Pipped by the Rauk

I should have booked a later train home. This could be a long walk.

 

[User10571]

Why are you booking?
Does the ticket price drop with a booking?
I've only ever 'turned up and ride'.
