FNRttC to Brighton 13th May 2011

[marinyork]

Who was looking out for you? I know rich was giving some marin aid... stopping you from getting into a pickle.

He always applies sauce to everything and he has a fine old wine at times.

You should've had a go on the BMX to warm yourself up.

I secretly fancied a go - I thought it was remiss of iLB not to put SPD-SLs on it...

 

[marinyork]

Wow! My imagination is lacking. BMXs, paraffin on a barbie (an esso blue boar ) a circular queue, many mysteries, barging by pie-eaters and now - someone who didn't even go on the ride sticking their oar in. When you stayed at Hotel P, were you hypnotised, Paul? I'm sure rich has an explanation that can help...

PS Bring the blusher next trip.

Well I get told variants on 'you are feeling' sleepy a fair bit on these rides.

You need a Friday's Magazine/newsletter to keep up with all the stuff going on.

I was saying that it might be fun to do the ride on a chopper, to CharlieB I think it was.

 

[theclaud]

Did you not worry about those brakes and a human version of buckaroo if any braking was involved? I like this little lanes, but everyone disappears off to some magical kingdom of flatland and people are polygone.

Lonesome lane wasn't so lonesome for me although some strange gossip appeared later by someone that didn't even go on the ride!

As for after stuff can anyone find the first posting on here about susie, I had a look and it's turning out to be a fair old task, I don't want her to feel like I was making it up.

I don't worry about anything on Lonesome Lane. It is a worry-free zone. And pretty much a brake-free zone as well.

Like Teef, though, I am intrigued by this strange gossip...

Or a unicycle. Or a beach cruiser. Or a £50 full-susser from Tesco, with the forks on backwards. Possibly wearing SCUBA gear, or a suit of armour. Might as well ride back as well. Into a headwind. Yes, I can see how that would be fun...

Or a unicycle.

While wearing a tall pointy cone on ones head?

Unicycle or chopper is realistic. I don't feel the others are though. Teef's probably up for the suit of armour .

Bring it on!

 

[AKA Bob]

Ian,
There may be some confusion? Charlie B was riding the tasteful cream and blue version while I was riding the slightly tasteless anti-theft pink and green model.
I did make it to the BWC launch ride but only with moments to spare before plunging into the responsibility of guiding 130 other slightly obsessed owners through the streets of west London to the factory for lunch and a few beers! Though it wasn't long before I slipped off to get some sleep!!
Good to hear you have signed up for BWC in August and I will see you then or hopefully on another FNRttC

When he wasn't hunkering down away from the glare of the sun (doesn't he look just like his avatar, incidentally), MY told Suzie that she was no longer a babe. Or something like that. I think that was before the incident of the 28-degree angle.

The blue looked green in the dark though too, to make things more confusing.

I'm flattered to be giving iLB a tow, but Lonesome Lane was made particularly magical because there was a low bright light (Andy A's?) behind him, which projected a furiously-pedalling, dementedly wiggling, preposterously towering silhouette as it swung round every bend. Like being chased by a strangely graceful comic-book monster.

Guilty as charged, I suspect. As soon as I get a moment, I'll put up some of the pics. Got home to find a disc had failed in the NAS, and have been battling ever since to rebuild the music library from tags. Why the RAID circuit felt the need to replicate the broken files I have no idea.

Anyway, vid and stills will be up tonight. If I end up with the wrong national anthem in the middle, it ain't entirely my fault.

No problem, but a Planet X titanium helmet would weigh heavy on my mind... and the mounting one's steed issue, the 'armour ged on' one would face. I'd feel like lance no doubt. And I suppose you lot always end oop round table, waiting for Friar rich tuck to begin the show...
