No worries, March will probably be too cold for the sandals. Probably...

Simon, does it matter whose name is on the cheque? I can get my flatmate to write one for me.

no - but if you could pencil your name on the back that would be good

Ed - I have your e-mail

I guess you could just put a cross on it, Luke, if writing is a challenge!

HiSimon,
yes please to Southend. Its taken ages for this first ride to surface, really looking forward to it, especially as I had to abandon the last ride.
I'll bring my £1 on the night. Will you have a trailer for all your bags of gold?

I have, once or twice, worn overshoes while wearing sandals. I never have — and never will — wear socks with sandals! I may not be a fashion icon, but I do have some sense of style.

Me please Simon. Like some others, I have new bikes to break in (though not literally, I hope).

I'll have my pound at the ready :-)

You been excluded on grounds of taste, Adrian?

 

[Aperitif]

No. I regard that as a worthy effort. I may even paint my black bike with some white this year...something a bit Clfancy maybe...
I'm just a bit 'time poor' at the moment, to accompany the 'judgement' and the '£'

Now for the really good news. Some of you will remember that Martin B, a tricyclist from (iirc) Norwich called me from his hospital bed to let us know that he was hit by a truck on his way to the start of the last October's ride. Here's his e-mail of today.

Firstly, to confirm that, apart from a another little scar on my scalp, I have recovered from my incident just before the Whitstable ride last year. The police were unable to trace the driver, the vehicle carrying the reported registration plate did not correspond with the vehicle description and was anyway ‘off the road’ in West Sussex at the time. Consequently the police were unable to bring a prosecution, meanwhile, the lovely lady at the CTCs legal partners is sorting out a claim with the MIB, not that it has the same satisfaction as seeing the ****** in court, and the money is not really the point.
However, I would like to register for the Southend ride on 18[sup]th[/sup] March......
