FNRttC to Brighton March 9th

[GrumpyGregry]

I had mentally pencilled Southend in.

I think i can see how that might be preferable. Never done it. Would have to come back by train anyway, getting home involves crossing London, and catching a train out of the smoke down the Arun valley. Perfect multi-modal opportunity.

Sarfend it is then. I shall not be removing the mood gourds, natch, and I may fit the spuds.

Thinks... my chainset/bb has been creaking all week. Have I got time to fettle it or should I catch some Zzzz's?

Tricky choice but I think I'd opt for the zzz's! Might end up making the BB worse?

 

[Sittingduck]

Ooops

 

[GrumpyGregry]

It has ended. In tears, and a little dance. Torque wrench slipped. Have put it all back together. Will test ride between Victoria and HPC. If nothing falls off we are good to go. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[GrumpyGregry]

I hopePaul Marinyork likes Royal Lochnagar. Buggered if I can find that bottle of Highland Park he won in the altimeter challenge.

I suspect the lovely Helen may have hidden it from me for Lent.

Ooh look, there's Satan on skis.

 

[dellzeqq]

new front tyre, fresh batteries in the Hope lights, and Chris of the Scouts has just called up to say that it's ten degrees and clear in Horley.

 

[Flying Dodo]

Have fun everyone, and wrap up warm.

 

[ttcycle]

Feeling peaky- will have to wait until next time. Have a fun ride everyone.

 

[StuAff]

On my way- early enough finish at work to make the faster service. Last-minute bike change means the TT's FNRttC debut will have to wait, so on the Trek tonight. See you all soon...

 

[marinyork]

Enjoy the ride everyone. Have a safer ride than I did to the railway station . Hmmm can't get upload to work in this state.

If anyone else reads this drink the entire load of whisky at top of the beacon without me! Give it to all, to newbies, to people I've met once or twice, those I've met many times and none. If they don't like whisky I'm sure Charlie B, User482 and GregC can polish off the rest.

I told you I didn't like downhill.
