FNRttC 4th September to Whitstable 2009

Following wind...

If it's anything like the westerly I battled home against today, we'll be in Whitstable by about 4am. What time do the oyster-sellers open? And can a pint of stout be found at that hour? Perhaps Stu could carry four pints of it down there, in place of the usual orange-juice?

Nope, I'm teetotal....

That's OK. In fact, there are advantages to that. It will get there intact...

 

[Andrij]

Enjoy the ride, folks.

I'll have to sit this one out as my back is still borked.

 

[ChrisM]

Things now sorted email sent to hopefully be back on the ride......here's hoping after having messed you lot around

Wind seemed a bit lighter this morning, though still in the right direction. I'm aiming to be in the Vic* for some...errr......'pre-ride carbo loading' from about 9.


*local establishment well known in skating circles.

I just ate about six serious Viennese biscuits. I'm starting early.

Long day at work today, tailing a long week. Bah... I'm coming though. Oh yes. Gotta rig the camera, charge the batteries, clear the card, check the bike, and bring cash for a rail ticket.
Yes. The mighty ape, ILB, and myself are pushing new boundaries.
Time to find this 'train' of which they speak.

 

[theclaud]

Right. It's gone a bit quiet round here. I reckon they're all off having a snooze. Cheats. See you later.


I'm off to sleep on the train...

Your just jealous your be at a wedding with copious amounts of booze and not with your cycling chummies with copious amounts of booze...

And currently in West London, the sun is shinning!

 

[Origamist]

I've just had a slice of carrot cake, a triple-choc cookie and a fresh cream finger (aperitif, please eschew the ribald pun opportunity).

Looking forward to tonight...

Fair play, you got me sussed, but if I can't ride I might as well join in on the banter...

And currently in West Hull, the sun is non-existant! &
