Southend 15 August

[MacB]

Of course. There's quite a lot of black on your bike already so the tape shouldn't stand out too much. We could start with all the Shimano components

....you weren't talking about my bike were you? She's far too beautiful!!

ah, tis truly in the eye of the beholder

and Davy, don't think the little butterfly swipe went unnoticed!!!

Mac what time does your train get into Waterloo? I can meet you there, otherwise your best bet is to make your way to southwak bridge, cross the bridge and turn right and it's straight up to the tower but you'll see the coffee shop just before then.


You can see the coffee shop from the Tower of London it will be to your left.


MEETING POINT IS COFFEE SHOP 9am across the road from the Tower.

If you don't mind I think I'll meet you all at the cafe by the Tower and ride back with you some/most/all the way.

Great news, Del. Are you bringing your recumbent? And how's the suntan coming along?

For the rest of you, here's our latest suntan competition photo:

No bent as it'll be dark when I leave home and it looks like there'll be some rain. Suntan is fading. I've not been out in the sun all that much recently. I might try some nail varnish to accent what I've got though.

Its like "Spot the Giraffe"!!

Clearly I'll win the suntan competition then Although as you can see from the above I've been avoiding the Cyclists' Hands look.

Hi folks, I am back from my great Scottish holiday Lots of rain, wind and a bit of sun!! No bike either so had to watch all the roadies I saw from my car, I am sure they thought I was a complete nutter waving heartily at them! I wish I could have taken my bike as there was a local 100 mile sportive I could have partaken in, ah well next year!

Luckily I have it in e-mail from my boss that I have the 15th off work as when I got back to the office they tryed to say I could'nt have that day off !!!

So could I just confirm the meeting arrangements is it Tower Hill at 9 am?

DJ.

2 weekends, 2 mad plans

Mad plan no 1 complete

Mad plan no 2, Southend this Saturday. I have hatched an amazing plan that can allow me to make it down for this ride. I can be in London for 08:30am and not have to leave London till 21:30. This should be plenty of time for a return to Southend with you guy's (including some of the Astana team). After my hasty departure to make it to KX I didn't get the chance to chat about our amazing feat so it would be nice to catch up. Also nice to meet everyone else on the ride. Also nice to see places like Dagenham and Tilbury in the daylight.

Note - this plan does not include riding from Hull or back for any part of the journey to or from London
