England : London Sunday London ride

[zimzum42]

Aye. Wasn't there an estimated combined cost somewhere in the region £20,000 a few weeks ago?

I think we went for 10K+ in the end, it was when we were sitting amongst the cars from the motorshow at Canary Wharf, wondering if our bikes were worth more than one of the Hyundais we were sitting amongst...

Two Planet X + one hot rod Izalco + Andy's recumberumba is verging on the £13k mark - add in some Specialized 'odds and sods' , and it is creeping up to Halo's target...
Let alone the street value of the talent atop the bikes!

....plus probably about a thousand pound worth of garmin and ride tracking equipment.

Gosh feeling nervous about being out with such valuable equipment now!!!

 

[Aperitif]

...and topcat's Lobby Lud shoes don't forget. And Clive's winter gear he always brings along.... While we're on the subject, the Tattooed Beat Messiah's embellishments must be worth a few £. (Unless they're biro of course )

Mind you- these garmins in the hands of Arallsopp and Teef combined can be worthless and useless... Will be along again sometime in the next month or two. Just need to sort out a place to live (for those in the know- all this time has been a faff - nothing sorted, been given a right royal run around). See you all soon with all these new upgrades to kit and bikes!! Honestly...it's like some grassroots level Assos catalogue of the who's who in the bike world; let's not even go there with the bling bikes!!

haha, yes indeed!!

 

[gaz]

not sure if i'm going to make it this weekend. got family over and i have to check if i'm doing any running around.

Pls. send a photo of your bike and the RRP to topcat, gaz - he is the arbiter of good taste...and you have plenty of technological competition these days, it's not just a 'front and back video' that gets you qualification for a Sunday roll-out.

And, in keeping with the spirit of the ride, on being cut up, carved up or left hooked, one exclaims "I say, excuuuuuse me!" - not "Oi" L122ARD!

And Grace, it will be good to see you when you're settled. Meantime, practice 'coffeecoffeecycle' - not ttcycle...we are SO loved up on the SLRcgtgS, we don't 'do' tea bars


PS Only joking gaz...

The sooner you are back out on the bike with da massive, the better it is for you and us.
