FNRttC FNRttC to Brighton - November 27th 2009

[Aperitif]

I hadn't hitherto realised that my personal tally of three underinflations was some sort of pseudo religious karmic recompense for my lack of care in extracting my bike at the start. I suppose that it could be though. I certainly can't think of anything else that would explain it. Or could I?

Had I remembered that I wasn't commuting I wouldn't have looked to go down the inside of the bus in Tooley Street and never encountered that bottle.

Had I booted the damage to the tyre at that point as a precaution then I wouldn't have had the second when it got opened up a bit more by the road and the inner tube worked through.

So the first two at least I have to accept responsibility for. The third might have been some sort of punishment I suppose, but by then it would have been a bit unnecessary.

Anyhow thanks for all your help with them.

As for the charge of envy. Not me, I try not to do envy.

Now really... Once I'd have let you get away with, but if you're going to make this a standard response, I'm really going to have to insist you explain bunph...

Bumph, I'm familiar with.
Infact I use it almost every day. One does like to be regular, after all.

Oh, and +1 please

I might be up for the return leg - it depends if I get press-ganged into a few post-ride drinks...

How many drinks in Brighton will it take to fuel you for the return?

Anything less than 3 and I'm running on empty...

You might want to tell them to wear a bit more than just a pair of skimpy shorts though, will be a bit nippy in November, although being northern I'm sure they could handle it

Will you be joining us on the Anniversary Southern CC Ride to Box Hill?

A few from here will be riding up from Brighton, meeting with the main group at the foot of the Hill, before climbing it and heading back to Richmond.

I will probably be in the Brighton group (fitness allowing)

You keep your mouth shut Luke ... let them wear what they please

I was thinking more along the lines of long fingered gloves. Wouldn't want them to get frost bite
