England : London Sunday London ride

[arallsopp]

Andy, will the 'new' one be out for the VCR?

I'm not sure. It'd be an interesting contrast, certainly, but any of my other 'bents is a far better match for the against-all-odds-jalopy-engineer-fest that is the standard VCR participant.
The other thing swinging it is the slightly antisocial nature of the beast. Until I re-route the chain, or you take voice coaching from Brian Blessed, I simply cannot hear you. I'll smile, and if possible, even wave, but I'll have no idea what's being said

you could always wire up a microphone and pa

Cue perfect opportunity to have a right old dig about Andy- he can't hear us!!

Very nice machine by the way! I saw the art work photos and thought it was really just a bit of pipe dream mucking about so was superbly surprised to see the photo of the completed machine on your drive!

Andy can power a soundsystem...it'll slow him down - he has too much aero advantage with that bike!

Whilst he can't hear, let's plot to nick it!


Sadly won't be out tomorrow0- haven't been able to shake this cold and meeting up with a cycling friend I've not seen in years in a none bike capacity!

I'm going to have to duck out of any rides tomorrow, gotta be at work no diversion for me.

I was thinking it's been a while since I wandered down on a Sunday................... but it'll be a while longer now, as I'm way too drunk having just got in.

Left very early to meet TC for 7.30am, we had a cold but nice run out to Essex to meet Sig and ride around a very picturesque area.
Had a fantastic tea stop with the largest piece of cake I have ever been served

Little pushed for time so we waved goodbye to Sig and headed for the ferry and then home.

67 fantastic miles on a perfect day to be on the bike and I was home early ! Cheers TC and Sig we must do that again !

 

[topcat1]

Yes t'was a good morning, nice and sunny not too cold


Sig and Clive


essex is flat ( ask auntie Helen)

oh yeah cake, the slices were so big Sig couldn't finish hers


we chanced a detour to the ferry to save Clive some time then rode by woolwich common said our goodbyes and shot down shooters hill and home.
