FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast Emsworth 20th April

[GrumpyGregry]

Bring the Strida - I've never seen one in the flesh (or is that an unfortunate choice of word?) for more than a fleeting glance.

You are mending well, I trust?

I am indeed, subject to getting dressings changed this afternoon.

"New dressing? It makes me feel like a Paul Newman."

Paul Newman - he' s a lad. The injured party? Well, he was 'gregarious'...( but I think he lost a lot of it skidding down the road on his butt.)

Still, as Greg would say "je ne vinaigrette rien".

He might tell you to 'Piaf' though...

What's the difference between Greg and a lousy barrow-boy? (apart from the looks of course)
A lousy barrow boy can't peddle his wares and Greg, well...the rest is history.

If you start off gregarious and lose a little bit don't you become one of the 'gregario'?

I feel a pink shirt coming on.

Pink shirt? Couldn't he wait until you were a bit better?

 

[Tim Hall]

Never mind our injured comrade. Dellz, what have you been feeding the cat? I think my new jacket will get a testing.

I think the forecast is about as good as we could expect. Currently it's mostly dry overnight, possibly with some very light drizzle to start off with. Not having a working bike with mudguards, or much chance of fitting any in the next two days, I'm probably going to end up with a brown stripe up my back (from the dirty road spray, before anyone makes any "witty" remarks ).

 

[User482]

I think I'll dig out the winter bike...

I shall be arriving at Paddington around 2215, if anyone would like to join me for a pre-ride sharpener in the station bar.

 

[rb58]

Winter bike for me too I think.....

 

[srw]

What is this winter bike whereof ye speak?

I'd intended to ride down to Guildford yesterday morning to come to work, but wimped out and threw the bike in the boot of the car instead. I just hope I didn't leave anything essential at home...

Wusses!! It's not going to be that bad!! Lelly is as usual coming along for the FNRttC.

Are you sure you're looking at the correct day's forecast ?
