Oi!

Weirdos. Srsly.

 

[StuAff]

On my way- made the 2138, so will head to Victoria first.

Have a great ride all! I look forward to the reports.

But café Nero was.

Now on train from Horsham. Pooped

A splendid ride, at least I can affirm that was the case from Gateick. Mini-hatler was pooped by the time we got back to Streat. He kipped for an hour. More tomorrow.

 

[StuAff]

Considerably less pooped after three hours kip. Ton successfully completed, I even got 7th fastest time on a Strava segment (can't be a popular one then..), that's how good the tailwind was. Well done Tim for a great job! More to follow.

I've kinda forgotten how to do all this. Long time since I've ridden at night. How cold, or not, do peeps think it's likely to be? It's still pretty chilly at nights up this way, so I was thinking of wearing quite a lot of clobber, big gloves and suchlike. Is this madness?

You do know that lots of clothing doesn't actually mask the 'Winter' weight gain?

You always seem to give it a good go...

Damn - now that MacB is going to get killed for the above comment, we'll never get a drink out of him.

Just got home after 21 hours away, 133 miles ridden, and the only sleep a series of mini-naps between stations on the train home.
It was a superb ride with the famous 26, followed by a SMR-part of the way-btH, where I raced into the wind up the A29 and still missed my train by 5 minutes, but then decided to enjoy the situation and rode up round Leith Hill en route to Dorking, to get a little taste of the Surrey Hills on this magnificent day.

Some photos to follow once I feel human again.

Still not got the hang of 'likes' then Al?

You do realize that killing him would not make any appreciable difference to the odds, right?
