Hmmm.

I think I'll try a layer of vaseline on my toes, with a couple of thin socks for layers and then some footie socks on top. It's going to be freezing on Friday night if cycling home at six tonight was anything to go by.

Well waddayaknow.. I have too..

And me - can't believe I've spent that much on one pair of socks. Better not tell the missus.

I'll be heading in from the Kings Cross area rather than Hampstead (assuming the normal post-work beers happen) but we could maybe meet up en route somewhere.

Corner of Frith & Old Compton St at 11pm, if your immune system has powered up. At least one of Bar Italia, X and Caffè Nero should be open.

Looks like it should be a bit warmer by Friday night/ Sat morning. You might still want to consider something warmer than your usual running shorts though.

Davy has got some new relaxed shorts, in black - to match the NEW BAR TAPE on his equidian bicycle. Interestingly, 'zebra' comes from the Portuguese "zevra" - meaning wild-ass. 'Davyzevra'...sounds good to me.

(Remember you stand accused of being a 'big girl's blouse' Davy...get that tape sorted...good boy. )

Seat 61 corner...
Is it correct that there are no direct trains to Wenland from Whitstable now? If so, it would make sense to get a groupsaver on the HS1 from Faversham to St Pancreatic...I'm sure there is an expert on board.

I'm in, if there's room for a small one!

st pancras works for me. I have a student railcard so I don't need a spot on the groupsave

RP is on my commute, passing through this morning at around 7:15 there was a good ground frost, my toes didn't recover till the shower at work.

Another one for your groupsaver - there's a fair chance that even I won't get lost getting to Marylebone from St Pancras!

A groupsaver's actually cheaper than a 16-25 card: you get half off if there's four of you rather than just a third.

Last week, there was a Supergroup(10) thingy - £2.00 per ticket! I get lost in these timetables...I get lost going to the station. I might ride back and save myself the stress..

You know that this is the best option..

You know that this is the second best option..

Burp!

Sounds good, I'll try not to get lost! I tried drowning the virus with wine last night and feel ok so far so should be on for tomorrow (and probably wearing everything I own by the looks of it!). I'll post up here tomorrow if that changes
