FNRttC Manchester-Morecambe FNRttC 16th October 2015.

[StuAff]

Spare train tickets available:

Friday 16/10 London Euston > Manchester - departs 21:00, arrives 23:11 -- Coach A, Seat 3 + bike reservation
Saturday 17/10 Lancaster > London Euston -- departs 12:38, arrives 15:13 -- Coach A, Seat 41 + bike reservation

Adam will have all the orange pieces of cardboard, so any late joiners (with the nod from Andrew Br) who can make use of them, just turn up at Euston and find Adam!
Likewise, anyone needing a return to London after breakfast & beers on Saturday.

Total cost to me was £41 but I'm open to offers. Just hate to see them wasted and they're non-refundable.

GWS. You'll be missed.

GWS. You'll be missed.

Thanks Stu.

Saw the osteopath today - she was shocked. She could tell from the bruises, swelling and inflammation in my lower legs and IT band which technique* was used by the massage therapist I saw last weekend. It's called Rolfing. I kid you not.

* Apparently there are 2 schools of thought for manipulating/releasing fascial tissues. The one that pulverised me is pretty brutal. Works great on your generally over-built, musclebound rugby player or bodybuilder with poor flexibility**.

** None of which describes me.

Think the mudguard bike will make an appearance.

I'm going to be rocking a rear mud-guard.

Speedy recovery Rebecca.

I'm afraid I'm out too

Nothing serious but DIY over exertion last weekend lugging radiators around, twisted my back & hip. I was hoping it to have eased, but it's not, not enough any way.

Really sorry to have missed this and seeing you all

Have a great ride and good luck

Unlike. Get well soon.

Well, the weather forecast is suggesting 9C and dry, so I think I'm going to go with the Ortliebs full of waterproofs, thermals and spare socks. I know how this ride works, it's not like a couple more kilos will slow me down, and I used up my karma last week in Cumbria.

I wish you all well tonight. I'd love to join you but life is in the way this year. Enjoy.

Double . You'll both be missed.

Safe and happy ride tonight, FNRttCpeeps.

On 2nd train of the night- made the connection at Winchester OK despite delays due to some twit trespassing on the line. Into Mordor Central in just over an hour, Piccadilly train leaves 2031.

Oh, the new bike's ready....

 

[ColinJ]

It was very chilly this afternoon in nearby Ribble Valley due to a nagging NE wind so I think it will be pretty cold tonight, but have fun anyway!

 

[Wobblers]

Can someone remind me to bring my hip flask, and more importantly actually remember that I've got it during the ride instead of when I'm back home (unlike Llandudno... )?

Ta.

If we're very very lucky and have clear skies at about 5:30 in the morning, there is the most spectacular and unusual planetary conjunction to see at the moment.
Fingers x-ed. it was pretty amazing one morning earlier this week.

 

[CharlieB]

I hate Pendolinos. They're so cramped.

 

[StuAff]

Still at New Street- missed the connection due to it being 10+ mins late there. Next one 2057, due 2234.
