England : London Sunday London ride

Bloody hell, Dave. I'm hoping TopCat1 indicates the number of lives used, and not those you have left.

Yikes!

Glad you're ok TC. That's the stuff of nightmares... that and giant man-eating spiders, bleergh.

just measuring up the steerer for cutting

Use spacers instead, Dave - it will give you loads of extra space for your battery packs, Lego Technik electronics, GPXs, little skull-shaped LEDs, small flask of rum, waccy baccy pouch etc - you know it makes sense!

little bruise on me leg

thing is, these forks were on another frame which had 2 big crashes 3 years ago (which broke my shoulder twice in 4 months)
and i used those forks coz i'm lazy like that

i've still got the original unused fork that came with the litespeed so that'll be going on this week

Glad you're OK Dave.

You're a lucky chap to have had them go at that point, and not going over a bump down a hill. That's the reason I go slower as I get older (well, that's my excuse).

Righto I am not out this Sunday but the following Sunday (22nd) I am planning to ride to Ashford International for a cuppa and one of their finest sausage rolls then back again. Most likely leave the Dripping Tap at 0730 with arrival back to the DT for 4ish. Let me know if anyone is up for this.

I'll be up for it. I'll be nipping to my brother's while I'm in Ashford but I'll catch you up on the way back.

I think I'll be up for this too Clive. So long as you promise not to launch yourself up Polhill like a mountain goat on steroids again....

 

[ianrauk]

yup I'm in Clive.
Looks like I may be doing the route again this weekend as I now can't make the Olympic Route Ride.

Stop posting this stuff on "Sunday London Ride", Clive!

Of course you're right, Teef. With only 222 pages to discuss where the dripping tap is, there's barely room for diversions such as this.

Quite.
Clive is so often caught between a 'rock and a hard plaice', I often wonder if he's not posting from the shelf in the local chippy.
'Sunday's Ride For Food' - an International Sausage Roll.

Given that will be about mile 95 next week instead of mile 45 last Sunday I would suggest that I will be more like a very slow tortoise

early ride to Cambridge today, cold but sunny just right

the "new" forks are on, slightly off centre, back on the workstand

If I roll up to HPC at 9am on a Sunday is there much chance of a ride these days? Only a quick scan of this thread it seems there's always other rides on...

Anyway lads and lasses, I'm back, would be good to see you all again!
