looking at the weather forecast I'm taking overshoes and waterproof jacket with me tonight

 

[Wowbagger]

Since SUFC are not playing this evening, I shall catch the train to Lpoo St arriving a 11.01. I caught this one once when there was a home match and it was a very crowded mistake.

Anyone else travelling from eastern parts?

Simon,

Happy to collect autographs and signing in sheets etc. as required.

Pip pip..

Which forecast are you looking at? Metcheck has calmed down in the last couple of days and now suggests just a few drops at the most.

Sig may be coming in from Romford.

Have a good ride everyone; I'm envious, regardless of the weather.

Obviously you could change the tyre to taste.

What flavours have you got?

I'm charging batteries, trying to minimise/maximise kit and wrack my brains as to anything I might have forgotten.

Do I put on the new chain?

And why, dear God why, when I've done longer rides less equipped and on the whiff of a promise do I, at this last hour, keep trying to learn form the likes of Shakleton and Scott?

I have to pull out of tonights ride.

Was just checking, cleaning and oiling the bike when I found a crack in one of the seat rails. on further inspection the crack is 75% round the Ti tube and two others are starting at the front of the clamp area. Glad I found it today rather than down Reigate tonight
As I have a 230k Audax on Sunday I feel I had better go buy a new saddle and get it adjusted before then. Not that I stand a chance of replacing the Koobi prs but may be able to get a Selle SMP.

Sorry to to miss all the fun and I hope all goes well with the ride, see you all next month and some of you next weekend.

It wasn't me steve honest

Have fun tonite people, i'm toying with the idea of getting a train down in the morn and riding back, is that cheating?

Although I see you're name on the list, I thought you said you weren't doing this one

Shame about your saddle, can't you use your carbon razor blade from your new bike?

Who's going to keep me company as I walk up Ditchling now

Probably not me. I won't need to walk, 22 gear inch bottom gear

its unconventional for sure, but i think you should do it

I am but will be a lot earlier to avoid the pi$$heads of Romford.

If i can work out a route from Liverpool St to Kings X I may go and meet Mikee and MacB, any suggestions for a route would be much appreciated.

that'll be a classic TC1 arrives in Brighton to find no-one's riding back

Well I'm arriving at Waterloo then cycling to KX, never done it but had a quick look on google maps. Over the bridge and sort of straight up, it's only about 2.5 miles, even I can't go too far wrong This is actually quite a sophisticated bit of navigating for me, looking at a map first I mean.
