England : London FNRttC Shoreham

[mmmmartin]

Great reports, love to read about them. Well done and thanks to @StuAff and @Shadow

Really enjoyed this ride, including the lumpy bits
My ride blog is here, there's a lot of photos which I don't want re-upload again!
My ride report should be appearing on the website once Ross has worked his magic to make it succinct!
Here's a few of my favourite photos, the first two from Turner's Hill, the third starring @robjh on the bridge into Shoreham

I'm tempted to be cheeky and say it's the background
Seriously, I was really pleased how it turned out

I didn't even know you were taking it. But the background and its framing are excellent, almost remind me of a Chinese mist and water scene.

Anyone else doing the Shoreham ride tomorrow?
(I don't feel I have the authorty/seniority to start a new thread - and I'd like it to have one of those pretty red FNRttC button things, which I dont know how to do ... )

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it.

Off to buy some fig rolls this afternoon.

I suggest not losing control, particularly after eating fig rolls, it could get messy, you won't like it.

I've been meaning to do a Fridays ride for about 20 years but never have....yet.

I'm in. Looks nippy.


How do CCers recognise each other? Handshake? Carnation? Pentagram tattoo?

Bunch of nutters with bikes at midnight. Easy to spot 😂

Based on previous experience, the guy who fails to talk to you all night is - by elimination - Senor Dogtrousers.

This time I shall simply strut around the South Bank shouting "Oi, Lazybloke - I know you're 'ere! You can't hide!"

p.s. my purple chest and pert beak are quite easy to spot, I'm told.

 

[lazybloke]

I might place some ribbon on my bike as a subtle identifier

Does not really answer @lazybloke's query. The entire peloton maybe a bunch of nutters, but the entire peloton are not CCers. In fact, these days, there are few CCers on these glorious rides.

You should; authority or seniority not required. It appears Management have removed the FNR prefix, shame.

20 years of excuses? Shock, horror. Just do it, as someone once said.

 

[EltonFrog]

I just had a look on the site, it appears that registration for the event is closed.

Don't blame him seeing as the FNR management decided to kill the very popular Cycle Chat FNR community on here.
