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

86. That's quite a crowd.

Southern site showing Bognor to London services running normally. And the £17.30 price should apply on all the trains - less 50% if you find yourself with three friends. And you can't reserve a bike space on Southern.

Righty. I think the lack of reservations (which seems to be a recent development, I've certainly made them in the past) was causing the system to fail non-gracefully with "there are no trains, the end of the world must be nigh" messages.

On that basis, I've booked a 2pm train out of Euston, and will endeavour to make it back to London in good time by groupsave improv. Can't be arsed with the Clapham Variation, as I tend to lack the sense of humour required for all the hanging around involved when sleep-deprived.

(As for riding back to London, my fitness is way down, as demonstrated by having a thoroughly miserable time with 100k of rain and headwind last weekend. On that basis, I'm off to get some miles in...)

Coming off a cold at the moment and lungs are in pieces so I'd be happy to TEC if his DZ'dness would like another body at the back.

Severely tempted to bring the soot bike on this (if the forecast is dry) what with all that lifting-over-gates-action.
Also, I really, really, really don't get on with the Look Blade pedals on the Ti bike.
Can't clip in without looking. Can't clip out without dislocating a hip.
Wish I hadn't bought them.
Meh!

Change the pedals ?

 

[mmmmartin]

I'd be happy to TEC.

I'm more of an All Up man, myself

 

[User10571]

It could go that way.
But that's little return on a couple of hundred quid of pedal investment

a small diversion. A good number of you have been sending me good wishes. I'm not sure about cause and effect, but India's scans are clear, and she is in remission.

Time for a pint!

 

[User10571]

Ace!

 

[hatler]

Oh, that's just fantastic. Huzzah. Beer, beer and more beer.

 

[ianrauk]

Great news.
