Anyway, I have never tasted a soup called 'Ron' - is it made of rabbit?
"Ron Rabbit, Ron Rabbit, Ron, Ron, Ron..."
Excellent organisation Steve - give up this cycling lark and follow the peletons - you'll make a few bobs.

 

[redjedi]

Can I request something other than Stella please. Guinness or some sort of ale is good (I'll still drink the Stella though if that's all there is )

A second frying pan may be needed for all these veggies

Can't say how long it will last, but I'll probably be starting the ride weighed down with G&T...

Why so much tonic Andrij?

 

[Tynan]

Eh? Did we get lost?

It's Liverpool St to Hackney Fields which gets most people.

you silly arse, it meant you

we did have a slight diversion at one point but no complaints here at all, I couldn;t have asked for a better chap to keep up with

 

[Tynan]

Steve, you (and your son in law to be by association) are absolute angels from heaven

Tynan in for everything going please and can I remind anyone man enough about the ride home ...

Okay. So. I've done some FNRttCs and SMRbtLs and was wondering how the Dun Run compares? You see, with my advancing years and spreading belly, speedy rides are a challenge. At the moment I'm planning to do it, but will bow out gracefully if it's an all out effort to get to the coast in 20 minutes. Whereas if it's FNRttC type of pace, but with fewer stops, I'll give it a go.

So, is it quick? Or doesn't it matter?

You can have my place Ross - go for it!

(But do the Brighton genteel ride first, followed by the return - as fast as you like. Then ride to London Fields! "Robert's Your Mother's Brother!"

As I said, go for it. you'll be amongst friends who help and care. (And give you breakfast at rip-off prices! )

 

[Andrij]

Ride at a speed of your choosing. There's a set start time (sorta) but the only finish 'deadline' depends on your arrangements to get back home. Feeling spritely? Speed up and catch some of the whippets? Feeling a bit tired? Slow down. You're bound to find someone riding at your pace, whatever that is, and regardless of how often you change your pace.

As I'm planning on the double (FNRttC the night before), I will most likely spend most of the night with Team Slow (a bunch of reprobates upstanding pillars of the community from yacf).

I would like to think that Team Cycle Chat will stay together ish so we know who we are feeding at half way and at Dunwich. It would be a bit anoying if we find Greg and his van at halfway and he has no food left for us

 

[GrumpyGregry]

So, is it quick? Or doesn't it matter?

Ross, look out for a large bloke dressed in black on a very black bicycle travelling very slowly. Most likely it will be me. Feel free to suck my wheel. If it involves going fast I travel by train.

 

[Aperitif]

"Greg" - the man who took the 'BR' out of broom wagon!

Another one going for the double.

 

[Tynan]

I've bought a new tyre to replace the fast fading rear

I've not bought a new chainring to replace one that's rapidly going beyond shark tooth and to the realms of ninja star

double what redflight, the fnrttc? that's insane imho, I'm going to give myself a three day break I think to make the return trip more likely

as regards the posse riding together, we were all more o rless at the halfway stop at about the right time weren't we?

I suggest a proper firm list of people to cater for and then cater for them, ie stop me eating everything, beating the fare on offer from the regular stop isn't going to be too hard, a cup of soup and two cups of tea is what I remembered

with respect to all concerned, wanting a pan for the veggies and a choice of beers smacks to me of rather abusing Steve's good nature and generosity

I'm really starting to look forward to it now
