FNRttC FNRttC: Whitstable - 17 August 2018

[StuartG]

Whoever came up with the Double Raspberry Magnum deserves some kind of award - OBE for services to ice cream or something. The Double Chocolate one is pretty awesome too.

Our otherwise illustrious leader has been notably delinquent in not appending this essential information to our ride instructions:

Fear not. I shall stand in front of you all tomorrow night and demonstrate the correct way to eat a Magnum - it’s an essential part of the safety briefing.

According to The Sun, Roger Moore invented the Magnum. Presumably that's why he got knighted.

It's going to be a tailwind. Unless you're riding back to London tomorrow morning, in which case, it'll be a headwind.

 

[Salty seadog]

Planning on carrying on round the coast to home with Fabbers for the ton.

I'm out. I was kind of hoping the foot was going to make a miraculous recovery. As it is, putting any weight on it has eased from excruciatingly painful to annoyingly painful. It's been x-rayed & nothing broken. But the swelling is going to take two or three days to ease, rest, cold compresses & ibuprofen were the recommendations from the treatment centre.
So, you lot, here are your instructions:
1. Have fun.
2. Eat lots of cake, because I'm not going to be able to hoover up your leftovers and Tim doesn't want to be eating them for the next fortnight.
3. Take lots of photos and write comprehensive rambling ride reports.
4. Have fun.
That's an order!!

 

[Nick Saddlesore]

Sorry you can't make it, glad to hear no broken bones. Wise decision not to make things worse.
Hope the m/cycle is ok.

Yamaha came off a lot worse than me. I did try to ride it after the prang, but the bars weren't pointing the same way as the front wheel....not rideable, plus mirror and indicator knocked off, loads of scuffs. There will be an insurance assessor coming to take a look but might well be written off. She was in mint condition as well

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Got SMIDSYd on my Yamaha this afternoon on the way to work. Right ankle rather sore & limping heavily right now. Got recovered home, on the phone with the insurance for an hour...Still intending to be there tomorrow night, but might have to bail if this ankle doesn't start behaving...bugger.

Nooooo! GWS mate.

Toying with the idea of Whitstable parkrun. Toying. Haven't run for two weeks, what could possibly go wrong?

Hopefully, myself and Chris W have used up those possibilities.....

Hmmm. Does Rule 42 apply if Parkrun is done after a Full English and a pint?

Get well soon.
