It's a long story ....

I am confident that July will occur.

True, but if I was in charge it would have a few more days in it.

Insurance.

Against what?

Belay my last comment. Read the back posts-I now see why.

Yes indeedy. Take a look at the website. So many Friday-peeps want to organise and lead rides we can't fit them all in - my plan was to stop in October but we might have to do one in November And it looks like at least two foreign trips, involving four countries. No airports. And quite a few are to fresh destinations - interesting places to visit. Not to mention the chance for a social meal beforehand. Oh - and a summer weekend on flat roads at an easy pace for spouses/parents/children/newbies to get to meet us.
I've gone all shivery just thinking about it.

And there will be at least one more ride. Even if it's halfway in a car park again and therefore unofficial!

Rebecca, are you going to put up a thread for the Dec 28th ride ?

Good point. The ride leader usually does that.... paging @AKA Bob
Thanks @hatler!

It was literal, I am afraid. Shoreham is Shoreham, whilst Shoreham-by-sea is Shoreham-by-sea.

Sorry I'm late to this conversation but, if it is literal, Shoreham must be Shoreham-by-Sea. Ah no, only if it's littoral.

As far as I recall, even Napoleon didn't make months longer.

This time - literally - he did! The Jacobin revolutionaries introduced twelve months of thirty days each (with five Fêtes des Sans-culottes) in 1793. When Napoleon abolished that calendar in 1805, he re-introduced the Gregorian one where some months are thirty-one days long!

We're going to the airport*. So if that's under water, we're sunk! Literally and metaphysically.


* or as the airport owner likes to call it - Brighton City Airport.

Interesting (FSVO Interesting) fact: Schiphol airport is 3m below sea level.

Surprisingly Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Denmark, Monaco and the Channel Islands all have lower highest points than the Netherlands.

Denmark and Russia both have lower lowest points than the Netherlands. As does Kazakhstan which for football purposes in also in Europe.
