Looking forward to this. My son Scott will also be joining us for his first Fnrttc. He is on my mid 80s Falcon, which is stil going strong

If you want company there might be three others doing a bit of a short-cut at the start (you might even be on the same train as two of them), and I've recommended Sloane Square.

Have given these frightfully nice people my number. My prefer for Chealski Bridge is driven by a chance I may not get to Victoria until 12:10. Depends when my meeting ends. Adrian kindly offer to wait for me at the bridge and drag me back to the peleton...

...where I can vomit from the exertion.

That's good Tim! Young iLB 'inherited' my Falcon of the ahem 'early' 80s, so it will be interesting to take a look...Also, Andy (iLB) was a similar age when he cracked his first Friday Nighter...to Brighton - then back again, for his first 100, then probably slept for a week ( early preparation for university ).

Do we need to know a phone number to contact Management when out on the road?

There will always be a guardian angel hovering Martin...besides, the award-winning telephone directory has yours and will never let anyone drop off the radar! (Pinch his 'phone tonight and ring yourself! )

Vintage corner...
I'll be riding a Galaxy from the late 80's... next year one or other of my kids may want to join the fun, the two older ones rode 1970's Galaxys on their JoGLE this summer.

Interesting weather here in Luton - fog with about 50 metres visibility.

Hope it's clear sarf of the river...................

 

[PpPete]

clear in hampshire at mo.... but BBC weather suggests foggy in London

 

[Aperitif]

Been beautiful in Lon. all day Adam. It's always 'murky' when one heads 'sarf'

There should always be a Tail-End-Charlie (or three) behind you. Having said that, on one memorable occasion when cycling into Southend as the TEC, I was overtaken by more than a dozen members of the peleton, who had somehow manage to get behind us! Ultimately this was apparently because they had got ahead of the leader, and turned the wrong way. The moral of the story is, don't sprint ahead of the leader, unless you're certain of where you're going, and if you go wrong because of this, tough!

I hope everyone has a wonderful night and I look forward to reading the accounts of the trip/breakfast over the weekend. Stay safe

Personally, there is absolutely no danger of that happening.
