CC London Spring Party - ALL BAR ONE - THE SHAD: Fiday 8 April

[Aperitif]

Ah bliss!
Luke has just called me asking after me.

I did explain that I am 'mid-preparation' / mental and physical, for the Leicester to London amble, tomorrow morning.

I proffered kisses to anyone within kissing distance - and , of course, Frank was there in a trice (not on a trice, even though age is against him). Frank wanted to steal a kiss - for sure... true to form.

I did however, ask Luke to give the necessary greetings to Katie, Rebecca Olds, Becs, TMN and maybe Grace, with a polite greeting to Mrs Rimas - BUT NOT the hairy Mary brigade of louts posing as the CycleChat massive! Oh no.

I love you all.

Elite athletes always rely on others being sorry, Frank.

 

[frank9755]

Just guilt triping you, Martin. But we are having a great evening. And you are missed. But there will be other times and you will be there!

 

[ttcycle]

Frank must have typed that when he was still sober...those lot may well still be drinking!!

We missed you Martin.
That is just a poor excuse!

However, you were lucky to miss Davy's naked pictures- very, very wrong!!

Top night- good to catch up with forummers and nice to meet some more new faces.

Thanks for organising CoG!

Just got back in - what a lovely night! It was great to meet everyone, and am sorry that I did not chat to enough folk. A special thanks to Becs for providing fodder and being a great lass to talk to, and Davywalnuts you have a kick-arse body mate! I may have woken up Aperitif at one stage to complain rather vociferously that he was not there, but understood ultimately why he was not, still very gutted though. User, we 'got' each other straight away and that is so brilliant about meeting new folk. Frank - it was so lovely to meet you and I hope you got back to Ealing safely. I got on a train with Ian and he gallantly got me back to Hither Green, cwtches to him, I have missed you such a lot.

Can I just say that I adore Simon and Suzie, the plan for next year sounds cool.

Diolch yn fawr for everyone - En Avant!

( am rather tispy, a bit)

beer..loads.drunk. lovely peopel..bed.. night night

 

[Aperitif]

Even the preliminary reports are making me feel that I have missed something... I officially declare this thread useless without pictures! So pleased it was fine weather for you too,
Now, come on - get up, get riding!

 

[dellzeqq]

well, not for the first time and not for the last I'm grateful to Susie for hauling me off and putting me in a taxi just as the DZ Drunkenness Indicator was heading in to the critical zone. I'd worked through Friday night, and the combination of 36 hours awake and a swift bottle of Prosecco proved a touch too much.

But.........what splendid folk CCers are! What a sweet bunch of people! How fortunate am I to know you! Thankyou User for organising this, and thankyou Shaun for inspiring all this good stuff!

I can't hope to do a roll-call of wonderfullness, but it was good to bore Katy to tears about (steel) fish. And, Martin and Grace, I do remember what I said last night and certainly meant it.

Somebody gave me money. User?

 

[frank9755]

Wonderful evening but I had too much to drink!

Thanks to User for herding all us cats into one place

I've got some photos to put up, but need to work out how to get them off my new phone so may be some time...

 

[ianrauk]

Gawd... binge drinking... don't ya just luv it?

Anyway.. off to football so it all starts again.

St Ives?.. Ferk off..

 

[Sittingduck]

Anybody else feeling a bit fragile this morning or is it just me?

A great little get together - thanks to CoG for organising this! It was nice to catch up with a few familiar faces and meet some new folk. I was pretty trashed by the time I left, so apologies for any drunken behaviour

A leetle bit fragile as well. I'm sorry that we do not get the opportunity to talk more! I hope Charlie got home to Bucks OK?

Andrij last night proposed that for the summer CC social we meet at that lovely pub in Mile End which is next to the canal. I've forgotten the name but have spent many happy moments there after cycle rides.

The Palm Tree in Mile End Park, between Mile End station and Victoria Park. Plenty of room to sprawl out, picnic style, if the weather is nice. If the weather isn't nice, shouldn't be crowded inside.

I've got a nice photo of Her Welshness and her Soutwark Cyclists mate (sorry, hopeless with names) illustrating the chessy grin they give to drivers whilst cycling. Will post laters.
