FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Brighton 14th October 2011

[mmmmartin]

This is turning into one of the more interesting FNRttC events. I shall bring a camera. And Araldite - always useful for putting bikes back together again.

Spoilt for choice. You lot are great . I don't know what to say, really. All sounds great from my point of view and Amy's, so I suppose whichever involves a bit less in the way of inconvenience to everyone else. Frank's plan sounds like him having to get to Paddington with two bikes so perhaps that's trickier? I can bring a saddle if needed (she doesn't do clipless either but I could bring flats too). She's ridden drops and flats happily before so any fairly sensible bike of about the right size should do it.

What's the decision then - just need to know if I need to get mine up to town for collection?

Recently added a new chain and cassette - feels like a new bike!

Isn't assembly just the reverse of disassembly?

lybmessasid is the reverse of disassembly

No it isn't

 

[arallsopp]

No it isn't

true, but disassembyl does sound like an excellent decongestant.

Now... I wonder. Can I get the Furai close enough to bike shape to make it worth bringing?
Its a lot shorter than the Seiran.

..especially in its current config.

If you need to leave the bike down here, I can store it in the garage till you come back

weather forecast looking v good. dry. a bit of a headwind, which doesn't count if you're going uphill cos the hill is a windbreak, and doesn't matter going downhill cos the Goddes Gravity does most of the work.

Excellent news for those of us who own both the thin Fridays jersey and the thicker version. Wearing both will allow us to keep warm while also emitting that smug air of superiority

you reckon it would fit me?

 

[marna]

I have PLAGUE - or at least, some cough/cold/sore throat combo that I've been failing to shake off for the last week. I will be incapable of yelling BOLLARD, getting up D*tchl*ng, or maintaining a cheery demeanor, so I think I might be better off spending the night in my cosy warm bed.

OTOH, last FNRTTC OF THE YEAR! I HAVE BARELY DONE A SINGLE ONE! OH NO BLUB! Maybe I should come out cycling?

Tell me what to do, the internets!

When I've given you it you can find out!

You have missed some spectacularly bad weather this year, mostly while I was in attendance. We'll see if I'm the curse soon enough...
