FNRttC Southend on Sea Night Ride Thursday 24th March 2016

[mmmmartin]

Glad to hear it, as I might be the All-Upper and prefer an easy ride

I'm a fan of http://www.rainlegs.com/en/home

AKA A Colossal Pervert.

Only if rainlegs are worn alone, and for non-cycling recreational purposes.

Thank you for the clarification. Pictures will not be necessary.

On this basis, I will be on my tourer with a pannier containing dry clothes.
I'll be very slow too, so we'll be a fair old crowd at the back.

+1

I'm a fan of http://www.rainlegs.com/en/home as they keep you dry where it matters but don't make you sweat. I have the bright yellow colour.

you may prefer a less gaudy colour combination

We certainly would have preferred a less gaudy combination. We got so fed up with dining with Martin dining in fluorescent yellow that we bought him a shirt to wear at dinner!

If it looks like rain I'll probably wear a cape. Which will also slow me down very effectively.

A case of Westmalle Trippel will be quite sufficient. Or even two

I am finding that this hits the spot.

 

[velovoice]

That is sure to hit a number of things.

I'm seriously toying with idea of riding my Brompton. It will make the rush home, to then drive up to Suffolk a bit easier.
The ride up to the Easter family holiday wasn't that well received, on the basis that I would be knackered for the first day!

Make them all ride up with you - perfect family bonding to start the holiday!

You wouldn't be alone.

Looking at the speed of that band of rain arriving, currently pushing into Wales

Looking at the speed of that band of rain arriving, currently pushing into Wales, I reckon that it could be gone a little sooner than the forecast suggests. I am going to bring dry cycling kit and hope to change into it at half time.

This is what the Fridays is about. Overwhelming optimism in the face of crushing evidence.......

Wishing everyone a safe and happy ride!!

 

[Trickedem]

This ride has the potential to be be rather similar to my first fnrttc in 2010. That was memorable for many reasons!


I'm also bringing a flask and sandwiches, so I'm guaranteed refreshment at the half way stop.

Ditto. It has m#d9u@rd5. Just seen BBC forecast.
