The Met Office forecast is within tolerances. It may be a bit wet and cool, but not 'cold'. In case anyone is worried, there will be no socks worn with the sandals. Ever.

it rains... so what? Your on a great bike ride with like minded people...


Indeed, and I did not mean to sound like a total wuss :blush:

The problem is that I will be of to see an elderly relative in their new sheltered accommodation immediately after the ride: dripping on the communal fixtures and fittings may not create a good first impression :rolleyes:

As for the rain I have a new jacket that needs testing so either way I'm onto a winner ;)

Do you record how many book vs how many show up.

Per date ?
Per destination ?
Per wet weather forecast ?
Per total booked ?

Given the numbers turning up for these rides now it should be possible to at least have half a guess at likely drop out rate.

Yes ?
I usually guess right for the benefit of the halfway stop, and this time I'm about five up on my guess. But, then again, I have to fiddle with the list and extract the membership cards from the pack, which is a nuisance when I'm running around town getting this month's hot line in armwarmers.

No Dell don't do it, don't go over to the dark side!!!

...I gave away a few dhb arm warmers a while ago - I'm kicking myself as I reckon they would have fit Martin just perfectly.

I think I'll be there - feeling yes at this stage though that may change this evening as I hardly got any sleep last night but I will only be doing the FNRtSL (Friday Night Ride through South London) and bidding you all farewell in deepest darkest Saaaaarrrrff London. Will have to see if I can make it up to HPC tonight - fingers crossed. If I do - come and say hi- if not; sorry but the excusiast strikes again and maybe next time...will see !!!

Talking of armwarmers, I've just put on my toasty FNRttC birthday merino armwarmers :smile:. Nothing to do with the forecast - just cos of First Great Western's horrific air-conditioning...
