FNRttC Christmas Night Ride - A Christmas Carol Saturday 17th December 2016

[velovoice]

I'm likely to have to make a break for my bed at around 3.00am otherwise I'll be useless for Sunday duties.

You may not be the only one. Adam is leading the local Xmas Ride on Sunday. "Doing a Simon" over breakfast has been mentioned as one option but I'd be happier if he got a few hours of proper sleep.

For the benefit of those who don't know Simon, and the rest of us who just wish to have a smile...
Agreed, better for your other half to get some proper kip under the circumstances. I've taken to having a proper nap after getting back from night rides. Stops me nodding off in front of the TV....

Yes, after much experimentation, I find a 2-hour nap as soon as I get home, then stay up til at least 9pm then good night's sleep pretty much resets the clock.

Sorry- late for the party. Only just remembered to register for this.
Hope I'm not too late?

Ideal staggering distance

You mean you'll be drunk before you get there?

@deptfordmarmoset , @User do you fancy joining in for breakfast on Sunday ?

Great news it will be good to catch up. I will forward the two emails you missed now so you don't feel left out.

In principle, yes, why not! Last post I saw about the venue mentioned the Willow Walk near Victoria. Is that the place?

 

[mmmmartin]

yes.

Willow Walk, apparently.
The 'Spoons just opposite the east entrance to Victoria station.

Thank you!
Think I'll swerve Swains Lane, though. Totally out of condition, not commuting until I find a safe route into E1 from Finchley Road, and I'll probably be on a clown bike.

Excellent news.

Sorry but I'm bailing out. Up at 5 this morning, plus a century ride today has resulted in a great desire not to get on my bike. I knew I was doing this when I signed up - I thought I would be fine, but really I think I would end up knackered and not enjoying it.

Boo! at your bailout, Yay! for your century.
I'm on my way. Big disruption on my train options- line was closed between Havant and Haslemere, person on line. Opted to go for an earlier but slow service that goes the long way round via Winchester. Line's now reopened but no point switching now, only five minutes slower into Waterloo than the fast train I was going to catch, if running to schedule (big if). Should be at Victoria 11ish.

Have fun everyone. I shall probably dream (again) of a full-fat fry-up.

It's pretty foggy out here in Chesham, but I'm on my way.
(On a clown bike. )
