FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Southend-on-Sea May 4th

[ChrisBailey]

Ride Folds! I mean Ride Folders!

Our very first Bromptoniste, Mary L, makes a welcome return, hopefully with handbag. I know that some of you are intent on Bromptoning this ride (I'm going to) (oh sh!t...) but it would be nice if you were to come with a handbag on your handlebars, by way of a tribute to young Ms. L

I'll bring my Bike Friday

Can Bike Friday's have double asterisks please.

 

[ChrisBailey]

Can Bike Friday's have double asterisks please.

As Brompton's are named after the Oratory but Bike Fridays are named after this ride....

 

[TimO]

Can we have an asterisk against the names of declared bromptonians?

You just want to highlighted as being special, don't you, you really need to be marked out.
(possibly as a warning...)

Sports physio thinks I might be good to go if I live in compression shorts for the next two weeks....

That could make going to the loo a little difficult.

 

[clarion]

What about Dahoneers? Would we be shunned?

I was thinking this but thought that if I said it I'd be accused of picking on bikes smaller than my bike.

We'll find out...I'm intending to bring Chutney (Speed Pro TT).

Where's the smelling salts?

…but EVERY bike's smaller than your bike…

That front-to-back and back to the front thing you often do? It's going to be fun watching you do that on a Brompton.

those days are long gone. I now stick to the front, tabulating risk assessments, while my Chef D'affaires, Mr. Davy Walnut Whips, (also our TEC Coordinator) phones me with updates according to an agreed protocol. Mr. Tim O observes the ride from space, aided by Mr. Adrian C, who provides Interstellar Navigational Advice. Ms. Susie F reports on the Couture and Lipstick Code Compliance. Our Political Officer, Ms Claudine C. ensures Ideological Up-to-dateness, while Messrs. Martin F, Greg C and Thom F provide Lubricative Services.

....Mr. Tim O observes the ride from space.......

Is that like Gordon Tracey in Thunderbird 5?

Rumour has it that Gerry Anderson didn't like Gordon's character, so he stuck him up there in the orbiting satellite to keep him out of the plot.

 

[dellzeqq]

Wasn't it John Tracey? Gordon was the underwater one.

 

[StuAff]

Yup, John was the space-bound one...

 

[User10571]

I stand corrected.
It was the space bound one Gerry wasn't keen on.
