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

[theclaud]

I'm on that train, and I'll have Claud's recommended route on the Garmin, so happy to lead people down to the start, but no bother either way.

Stu might well have come up with the only possible way to get lost in the mile between the station and the start.

 

[StuAff]

Well, yes.... Should be easy enough anyway!

 

[marinyork]

How can marinyork insinuate that "she's past it" (I paraphrase) but it was something like that. Congratulations! (Gis a job! )

Why are we posting bizarre gossip on a thread people don't think I'll read . I dread to think what sort of stuff you'd have thought up if I'd seen more of you on the Brighton Ride. Hasn't Susie done more FNRttcs than I have?

<Non-sequiteur alert> Rich told me that you had been disparaging. The evidence speaks for itself. Conversely, are you saying that it's you who is really 'past it' and that Susie remains a fledgling beacon in the fires of the Universe, given her propensity to 'outperform' you?

I can understand that, Paul.

And, interestingly, my P.E. teacher from school, Bob Williams, (yes, yes, they are still alive) lives near Cardiff, used to cycle for Wales in his 20s and is generally a small scale version of me. It is with endeavour that I will try and coax him out of retirement to rendezvous at the Millenium Centre. Now that would put some icing on a cake. Come on Bob!

 

[Little yellow Brompton]

Now the difficult sartorial question. Do I wear the flashing Fleur De Lye Scout necker, or the Flourescent Green Reflective Scout necker?

Theclaud reckons rich p is in hell, would you listen to the devil's chief crisp packet over-seer? On the other hand you can clearly see Susie framed in an A (better than others with lopped off heads), do you not think that is telling you something ?

Rich p also said that I should be heading off to gretna with someone from the chatroom, that I'd said something else about Susie, that I'd been offering suncream to people and a few other things of a more salacious nature.

I'm sure he'll give you a B if you say please.

 

[Aperitif]

To go with the 'A plus' of earlier, of course.

Big old boy then!

 

[marinyork]

Big old boy then!

I was thinking that Bob was something like Yoda, to Teef's Alec Guinness.

Aaah PE it is. Yessss

Your powys grow weak old man

I can see Bob and I in relation to a pint of Guinness, and, historically, to Brains Dark-a-plenty... Centre Hotel Cardiff, 'Duke o' Boots' pub etc, opposite the Castle... I digress.

 

[StuAff]

Ooh I say, two guys fighting over me! It's a long time since that's happened

Merely offering to save Simon the bother of going back and forth (despite Claud casting aspersions on her own route, I'm confident I'll be able to tell north from south!!).

 

[Tim Hall]

Now the difficult sartorial question. Do I wear the flashing Fleur De Lye Scout necker, or the Flourescent Green Reflective Scout necker?

The former. I want one as well.

Edit: You're not from Dodge are you?
