And I'm bringing my practically brand new road bike. Four months old and less than fifty miles on it but it's time to learn to love it as much as I do my lead-weighted hybrid.

I'm forgoing the mudguards, dynohub and Carradice of the Surly for the lightweight pleasure of my Roubaix (and a small backpack for me stuff).

Dag nabbit, I was going to bring the pannier on the Brompton…1835317 said:

I thought twice this morning about bringing rhubarb, but then I thought "I'm going to get that look just for turning up, and I'm going to get THAT LOOK too if I turn up on a Brompton" and somehow in for a penny in for a pound just didn't cut it.
I nearly bought a new helmet this afternoon but thought better of it. I guess I'm just indecisive. The lovely Helen is insisting, as is her right, that I wear one tonight or she says she'll not sleep.

Does anyone of our happy band want a boxed presta valve Continental Compact 20 slim 28mm/32mm tube which seems to have appeared, as if by magic, in my saddlebag from I know not where?

Thank you.
Your journey to Southend tonight should be swift, as you will be a few grams lighter....
I haven't cleaned Red from the Emsworth ride yet, and I don't think I'll bother. Likewise the Race Blades are staying on!
The forecasts seem a little difficult to read over whether we'll have rain at the start, the end, or just for the entire journey! I'll be packing a spare pair of socks for this, although at what point they may get used remains to be seen!
I suspect dellzeqq's Inbox is slowly filling with people who have suddenly found that they need to be elsewhere!
I don't think the rain is likely to be torrential, the forecast suggests light drizzle at worst, so I'm not going to worry too much about it. It certainly isn't going to dissuade me from my Bank Holiday weekend ride for breakfast.

it's not. I gave people until Thursday 2pm, and, while there was a little flurry before, it's been quiet since. And, starting next month, last minute cancellations gets you off the mailing list. As will repeated cancellations.

I'm not the excitable sort. But for some reason I'm really looking forward to this ride tonight. I think it's because I've never ridden through a ford before.
That's cruel. Why can't you be content with seeing if their tyres can take 200 psi?
