FNRttC to Brighton 13th May 2011

[ttcycle]

yay! I've not done much either so I'll gladly keep you company - we can give each other moral support!

haha I like the idea..however, I think I may need more than moral support - Ditchling....

I might put my trainers in my saddle bag so I can walk up that one!

Never fear, the User482 hipflask will be carefully packed into the Carradice, ready to be dispensed to those in fear, pain, or a combination of the two.

Kind of like a less hairy St. Bernard, really.

Will the needy be getting a complementary lick before dispensing?

Edited to make sense of the smiley culture.

 

[User482]

And will User482 be smelling like a St.Bernard?

I say I say I say, my dog's got no nose...


Anyway, after a long cycle and several post-ride thirst-quenchers, it's perhaps no surprise that I get plenty of space on the train journey home.

Luckily, there's a picture of User482 with his Assos flask, ready to save anyone close enough. He's barking.

Hi Simon

Can you put me on the list - sorry to be awfully non-committal (I seem to be making a habit of this) but depends on if I can get enough miles in to be able to ride this well (no jellybabies and bailing out at Haywards Heath this time!) and if I have enough cash to do it.

Fingers crossed and with some dedication I hope to be there!!!

I'll commit to saying that it'll be good to see you back. Never mind jellybabies, malt loaf & bananas are more like it

You two can get up Ditchling. Yes, it's hard work, but it's a grind rather than really steep. Refuel before you start up it, and keep a steady pace, and you'll be fine.

 

[Aperitif]

Yes.

I find a nice pipe at the top helps too.

 

[ed!]

Me please, Simon!

[mistral]

Me too, and I'll also be in contact Simon, with a cheque as CTC expires end of April

 

[TimO]

88 riders, six weeks before the ride, that's not bad.

 

[hillclimber]

yes please Simon

 

[dellzeqq]

yes please Simon

right you are!

I've been messing around drawing bits of building (always a mistake) but I'll get back to the list on Sunday evening
