Ever done a head count at the end? Or, wondered why I look bloated at brekkie?

I do love a good Chianti....

I guess that's fair game.......

On the few occasions I have had dealings with Carradice, it has always been Margaret who has answered the phone and delivered a level of customer service that others would do well to learn from.

It is. They really are a superb example of customer service. One of the women who sews the bags even posts on YACF occasionally to acknowledge when people mention that they have one of the bags she sewed.
I don't recall actually doing anything though.

They are based in Nelson. All the best people come from or work in Nelson.

crikey. I bet Werner never touched the sides!

To the people I chatted and laughed with - many thanks. Sandra, the cake request will continue to be made until you cave in .

Haha cake will only slow you down. I'm only thinking of your well being.........

At which point did we lose Werner?
I recall seeing little of him after Stock.

 

[dellzeqq]

Ah. He was on the right turn in to Common Road and I was by the entrance to the Village Hall, some fifty metres away. When the flow of riders abated I went down to the corner and told him he could go in to the village hall. He missed the turn, went on at the crossroads and wound up in London.

Goodness. That clearly demonstrates the fragile nature of one's participation in these ventures. Sometimes 50 metres of darkness is all it can take....

 

[dellzeqq]

it was well lit, and we'd been standing there for ten minutes or so. Forty people had turned in to the village hall. My bad - next time I'm going to make absolutely sure.

That was a cracking ride. I was as cold as I've ever been at times, yet still found this to be one of the most enjoyable rides I can remember for a long time.
The last part of the run into southend could do with some finessing and Mark and I might have some ideas there. Don't give up on this one though as the cafe in Burnham was great!

here's the first ferry trip we ever did...

In my opinion this was the best breakfast of all the Fnrttc's. Whitstable comes second and then Felpham.

You didn't do Ramsgate then?
Knocked all the above into a cocked hat imo.
But all good anyway.

Those who came on the second dynamite ride were lucky enough to get second helpings in Ramsgate.
As you say though - they're all pretty good.
