England : London Sunday London ride

[threefingerjoe]

Ahhh, so Bentmikey is in your group! I, too, am a 'bent rider!

 

[threefingerjoe]

Those legs are so sexy 'teef!!!

'teef? so Aperitif is the "thug in the bottom photo?" Looks like the kind of guy I'd like to sit at the pub and have a beer with...after the ride! (Mind you, it's not the LAIGS that appeal to me!)

 

[BentMikey]

We popped by your office Mike, but you wasn't in attendance.

My mate saw you guys, but I had a lazy start this morning. Saw Andy though, by Camberwell on his way home.

 

[arallsopp]

Yep, briefest of flybys, but good to see you. Headed into Bromley afterwards and hooked up with LCC, Bromley Cyclists, et al. Picnic in the park finished my substitute morning in the saddle.

Great ride yesterday, beautiful weather, great company, thanks everyone. Sporting crispy fried forearms though!

Sorry off topic I know - Teef & Ian - Here's a video of Monika & I sailing the Laser 4000 skiff we talked about:

Looks like Monika is doing all the work and your just along for the ride

Seriously, they do seem to shift don;t they. Looks jolly good fun.

Yeah skiffs by design are quick. They plane upwind too! And yes the crew does tend to do most of the donkey work!

Sorry back to the bikes, heres the link to the Tart Rings we also talked about, mmm tarrrt rings:

[ianrauk]

Damn you Stephens and your links to blue chain rings... damn you!

 

[Aperitif]

Adrian. If you didn't spend all your money on Cannondale, you'd be able to afford a boat with a back bit <technical term> on it.

Here's Andrew, my son's close friend. He is a big unit. Put him out there where Monika is and the boat would tilt over! You take him out to play - Ian will make sure Monika is well looked after one Sunday!

Seriously, that's impressive stuff. I'm all at sea on a bike.

 

[Aperitif]

Quite right too. An esteemed drinking companion is Teef.

But only in esteemed company.
Also, 'during', for thermal wellbeing and general good cheer, has been known.

 

[Aperitif]

And, while I'm here, hope it is/has gone well for Andy I love bikes Evans, for his interview today. Fenchurch St, I think...

just having look at welcoming 3fingers to the ride i've come up with this

http://ridewithgps.com/users/42527/routes

it starts at the southbank where joe will be picking up his rental at 10am, we'll then pootle up to the palace

serpentine albert hall back down through the strand to st pauls, we'll skip lmnh's and go on to the olympic park

greenway ferry thames path to greenwich for the view then thames path back to the southbank with a diversion over tower bridge

nice little 32 miler hope the weather holds out

 

[ianrauk]

That looks good Dave, though would be a little worried about our tyres on the Thames Path..

 

[Aperitif]

Good one Dave! Last weekend's test allowed for a decent amount of conversation without motons, and also made it easy for folk to drift off when their 'corner' arrived. (Best not include Ian's 'pub call' though - it might be too tempting to skip the rest of the ride.. ) Could also be one of the first daytime gatherings of 'Fridays children'

Dave said he's underwriting everyone's - if they cut, he'll buy you a new set!
