I shall be cycling up as its my usual commute

Topcat -I will be coming down Narrow St, so probably onto cable st, as I wanted to take some photos -the huge seagull statue,limehouse link and a few other bits and pieces so don't leave without me

 

[Wigsie]

I'm out TC1

Rode home last night in record time then went for a longer ride and woke up this morning and my back is killing me!

Somebody throw a stick in MacB's front wheel for me!

 

[ChrisM]

I've managed to book the day off as annual leave now so I will be there!!

 

[gbs]

I have been disabled by a heavy cold - can't speak and feel as 5 miles on the flat would be an achievement. . Normal temperature so it is not the dreaded flu. I may recover for Saturday but that is unlikely so don't wait for me. Enjoy.

Ah Wigsie the Woose strikes again eh, admit it you just didn't want to be shown up by an old man like me

I have made some Chocolate Frostie Squares for Saturday, they are cooling in the fridge now

 

[Sittingduck]

Well, I have only now been able to get down to Brixton Cycles with my dodgy rear wheel. I have to take it back on a morning to their bike surgery for them to check and service the hub / freehub

Doesn't look like I am going to make this one.

that's a shame SD, no chance of spare/new wheel making an appearance?, but good luck at Brixton anyway....Al

 

[Sittingduck]

No chance on a new one - especially as I have just had to cancel my debit card - bloody id theft crimes

 

[redjedi]

Sorry about your wheel. What's on your hybrid? If it's an 8sp Shimano it will work with your Campag levers. You'll need to swap the rear mech as well, but it will get you rolling.

ID theft What do we call you now?

Partly, that and the fact that I may look like a tubby gypo next to your new skinny physique in all your designer gear.

Cant someone lend SD a wheel?

Unfortunatley my spare is buckled too otherwise I would!

We've got to get him to that salad bar somehow!!!

You can always borrow my wifes ridgeback comet it's actualy quite a smooth bike!!
