FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Bognor Regis 12th August 2011

[marinyork]

it was very mild down here during the night Paul and looking the same tonight. I shall be wearing bib shorts, spesh vest and fnrttc ss jersey, with armwarmers and a showerproof windcheater as back up.

warm night in Horsham last night. I'll be in similar clothes, bibs, Friday's SS jersey, gilet, armwarmers and a showerproof layer. Doubt you need much more.

Right now in Haywards Heath it is warm, overcast but bright.

Thanks. Thinking bibshorts, LS Fridays, thin waterproof CC top, jersey, maybe another spare top, arm warmers + buff. Think buff is about the most important.

It got down as low as 13C here last night, I went out at 11pm last night to have a think about gear and then it started raining! Well you guys know what I'm like for bringing clobber. I reckon it'll be hot, it's just the forecasts from 4am that really concern.

I have two spare train tickets from Bognor to Clapham junction booked for the 1.30 train if anyone wants them you can have them.
I have to be out of Bognor early so I can not use them.

Hoping not to wear the waterproof top at all.

It's summer, what is all this talk of buffs? Buff can only mean one thing in August and please god NO!!!!

Nonsense. What about protecting the heads of sleepy beer-drinkers from the blazing morning sunshine?

That's it! I've seen it all now. How long will it be before I start seeing people wearing tubes of fabric to keep their arms COOL???

**Goes to get coat** (and armwarmers and legwarmers and heated overshoes and shorts with heated pads and ear muffs....)

Not sure that's looking like a particular problem right now!

Inane optimism is my default position with regards to the morning's drinking prospects.

WOT no Ski Jacket?!

Anyway - I am thinking of risking it with just a base layer and LS jersey. Waterproof jacket will just add additional weight and you may know I am something of a weeblenie, in this regard
