FNRttC Friday Night Ride to Shoreham - 20th May

That and no food fights.

I don't know.. I had to be held back from ordering a third brekkie.. I managed to accidentally spill my tea.

As we pootled through Ashurst, just after where we regrouped by the Royal Engineers' flag, I stopped @mmmmartin mid flow, to tell him I was looking for a plaque which I'm sure was there, but failed to find. A brief delve into wiki-inaccurate suggests the pub there was dear Larry's local and was also allegedly used in the video for Paul McCartney's "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time". More puzzingly, I'm sure these aren't the facts I was looking for.

Had it been available, and as long as I wasn't depriving anyone else, I would gladly have eaten a third breakfast.

You did seem quite impressed with what was on offer.

 

[ianrauk]

It was great fare, and I did wish I could have eaten more of it. But the seemingly short time after the Cabin's, erm, down-to-earth sandwiches etc meant I just wasn't hungry enough.

Now....I thought the same so stuck to just the one piece of bread pudding.

TMN took me completely by surprise overtaking me down Reigate Hill, and I was not hanging about :-)

Dictionary definition of a TMN:

1) When something you've mentioned on the internet is subsequently stated by someone else who clearly hadn't read, or has ignored your previous comments.
2) A unit of speed, approximately equal to the terminal velocity of a Royal Mail lorry heading down Reigate Hill.

Ok, @RoubaixCube we need to work on this to get you to Brighton on the next ride. If you're walking over railway bridges 90 minutes after leaving HPC things need to change. As I said at the time, we want you to get the end, and I know more about failure than most people and I'll have a think and send you a PM.

2 is apparently at least 186,000 miles per second, as it's faster than Litespeed

Thanks, Dave, and good to see you back on the bike after your crash.

After a break I really enjoyed getting out on a night ride again and that was an excellent new route. Many thanks to Adam, Martin and Rebecca for maintaining the practice and spirit of FNRttC - I don't underestimate the work that goes into arranging it all.

We are but a few in a larger group of helpers, Clive. A few crucial people on the team may never identify themselves as such but we could not do it without them.
