Excellent pics arthur.
To start the night off I met Arallsop in Bromley for the run in to HPC. Following his ghostly contraption through South London, (Catford, New Cross, Peckham etc al watching the reactions of various pub goers, revellers and general all round usual South London F*** Ups was hilarious. Cycling past busses was a highlight.. the head was perfect hight to the windows on the bus..a few drunks on their way home must have wondered what they 'might' had just seen.... And who would have guessed that we would bump into Michael Jackson..(he's not looking good these days).
I got to Andys Cafe in Rochester second.. for my 2 rounds of bacon baguettes. (What really nice people who run the place are)
I got to the Cafe at Whitstable second again, this time for my full English brekkie (beaten by Will)
Claudine and myself drafting Stuaff on the run in to Whitstable was jolly good fun... a marvelous piece of early morning cycling on flat deserted roads.. cheers Stu, we got some good speed going there..a joy.
Mike e, you Norvern nutter.. but luvs ya mate.. really do... trying to convince the lady's to open the bar 5 minutes early was hilarious (
hey, your clock is 5 minutes wrong, I'm on Northern time.. And it's New-Carsal right!!)
And Claudine.. you are bloody encourageable...
So me and Arallsopp after breakfast said, ok let's give it half an hour then cycle back.. but no didn't work like that did it? 4 pints later and train it was... lightweights we are
Puncture... a 1 inch nail.. agggghhh
And the noise from one of Adrians punctures was pretty impressive.
Another great FNRttC.. Cheers Simon and everybody. It truly was a great ride.
...really appreciate the excellent organisation and the great camaraderie...can't make next month but will definitely look to join some rides in the new year
