I now declare this ride open for registrations. Sadly, Susie will miss this one!

she will be returning from Tennessee that evening - and is spitting feathers about it. I've half a mind to pack her cycling kit for her and meet her off the plane with her bike, but I can't imagine that she'd be up for it after a ten hour flightOh no - has she decided to do Dunwich instead...?
I'd like to come, please!
Put me down please - but not before doing this ride. Re: Susie, couldn't we get hold of one of those infernal road blocker rickshaws* that cart folk around in Covent Garden etc and kidnap her at the airport, leading her blindfolded to The Madeira, where everyone will be sporting stetsons and speaking in a southern drawl, drinking sarsaparilla by the bucketload?
Sadly, Susie will miss this one!
No Susie? On the Genteel, of all rides???No Susie? On the Genteel, of all rides???
Pilots who couldn't afford the walk up fare?
