I might wear my Union Flag buff (always assuming that Frank doesn't nick it for his collection#) but I reserve the right to describe this as being done ironically.

I thought Teef had manufactured found some photographic evidence....

Looks like I'll be limited to the early rides as, ahem, we're expecting our first child at the beginning of June...

Congratulations, User482!

You can get five FNRttCs in before then.

I'd go for four as a reasonable ambition. Being somewhere between Cardiff and Swansea in the early hours of 20th May might be considered cutting it a bit fine.

Meh. Bridgend to Bristol trains start at about 4:30am.

Thanks! And I get to buy a Chariot trailer...

Congrat's User482.

I've been thinking of bringing my littl'un on the tandem on a future ride. Have to be one with a sandy beach at the end so he can have something to do whilst I have a restorative (or three)

Thanks! I suspect that opportunities will be limited afterwards...

Henry born in Feb... I have managed 8 FNRttC's this year..... but I have a very forgiving wife.
The way she looks at it is that I get home after the ride and have the day with Henry.

He looks really happy in your photo - this will be an essential piece of evidence in persuading my wife that we need a trailer.

Congratulations User482 and I know what you mean, we have child 2.0 due for release on June 7th as we just found out today(scan, not actually finding out). Did my first and so far only fnrttc this year to Whitstable, and it was marvellous. A winter of training and dieting beckons, with a hope for a fair few more night rides before things get complicated again.

One of the best things I have bought User482. And Henry loves it. Peds and car drivers seem to love it also.
There is enough room in the trailer for Henry, clothes, toys, food, nappies, blankets etc.. a ton of room in the front and in the boot. And they are lighter then you think.
Oh yes, Henry also has his own private number plate.

Henry certainly looks a lot cleaner than my lad did at that age too!

OMG! You don't think he gets the full disassembly, jetwash, lube and new cable treatment every time he goes out, do you?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Bet I know which one Henry gets...
