Thursday Night Ride to the Coast - 17th April to Felpham

No beer? You can forget that.

Consider it forgotten.

Now what to wear. I have a feeling (judging by early morning commutes this week) that it's going to be more than a bit nippy out in the sticks. But then again the return home will be warm and sunny.....

In these sort of circumstances, I find that CLOTHES are typically the best thing to wear...

Anyway, what's all this talk of warm and sunny journeys home? I thought you had a train ticket?

Still, the bike's been fettled, the chain cleaned and lubed, new koolstop brake pads fitted, tyres pumped up and I've even cleaned it! Main light's charged, spare batteries are almost charged, backup light is charging... good grief, I'm almost organised - I just need to find my hip flask. Rather looking forward to tonight

Ooh hipflask....

I do have a train ticket. But as it's a Southern one, I can get my money back if I cycle home. I'm currently 50/50 on that.

Makes things tricky, doesn't it? Have you considered armwarmers, perhaps they could help?

You've been away too long... he's now a committed arm warmer wearer...

Now, if you'd stopped writing after "committed"...

Have a good one tonight everyone knees on the mend should be out and about sometime in the next month or 2

 

[AKA Bob]

I'll be at Padders from about 8. I might move to Victoria at some point for a change of scene. Don't say I don't know how to party...

Sadly can't assist as I am working till 10pm but will see you later at Victoria...

The big jessie.

It'll be entertainment I'm craving rather than assistance. Sitting on my arse for several hours eating pasties is going to be more dull than challenging.

Shame you'll not be with us tonight, Nigel.
Heal swiftly.

Have fun and wrap up warm folks.

Ah but I think I'll be dressed for the overnight cold. Plus I've struggled of late with the 100+ milers taking more of a toll on me than they used to. Still we shall see.

Long Martin have people look down on him? Could he cope with that?

Just think how long it would take to overtake him...

And I'd still be able to look down on you two!!
