FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Cardiff to Swansea 20th May 2011

[User482]

I'll be on a 3 speed Brompton as well, so hoping the hills aren't too bad!

With mudguards and a pannier rack? Do be sure to load a large cake into your Carradice - you'll be Dell's favourite...

I would be there with bells (lights?) on but I have a doctors note telling me not to :-( However! My knee does seem to be healing well so I'm definitely going to be ok to join in as you go past my flat. If I start one ride and finish one ride does that mean that technically I'd have completed a whole ride???

Hello hello. Glad it's healing well. I defer to the chief on the qualification question, but as you only live five miles from the finish I'd say that you need to do the middle of a ride somewhere as well. But then Southend temperatures might count for double points!

But it would certainly be nice if you could join us for breakfast!

The Brompton Massive is in town, then! Relax - Susie isn't in the mood for serious hills either, and has arranged to have them all ironed out before the ride. A crack routescaping team is working on it as we speak...

Ah-ha - the old favourite "popty ping"? Someone was trying to convince me that jellyfish was "pysgod wibli-wobli", but I was sure they were having me on...

Having you on??? Would I ever! I got that on very good authority I'll have you know! .... Although being laughed at hysterically by fluent welsh speakers is maybe not such a good sign....

Ah well, two thirds of a ride it is then :-) I shall most certainly be joining you all for breakfast and a medicinal drink. Whiskey has healing properties, they just haven't made it official yet

Adrian says so - and that's good enough for me

Jellyfish....?
What kind of route have you got planned!

 

[frank9755]

The European Cup Final is on the Saturday, 21st May, K.O. 17:00 - same venue. (Leinster v Perpignan Northampton)

Just got offered a ticket for this today and had to turn it down!

My flabber is ghasted

Nowadays I'd rather go cycling with you and the gang than watch professional sport!

I purchased my rail tickets yesterday (I know, I know....) and I'm arriving in Cardiff at about half past ten. Anybody else on that train?

 

[jonesy]

I might aim for it if it stops at Didcot.

I might aim for it if it stops at Didcot.

Are you a good shot?

 

[jonesy]

Well I'm feeling a bit of a lightweight as you lot will be riding through there earlier in the day!

 

[rich p]

I'll fetch it down with me Saturday pm

Shall I collect it Sat pm or some other time?

 

[Aperitif]

Shall I give you a ring when I get there?

He'd prefer the bag, but if it's a sign of commitment then go ahead...
