Paur R's down to 2. Those Ian's are getting a bit tasty, though

 

[_aD]

Bah, knocked off the top. You'll be hearing from my Attorney, who will be accompanying me for reasons of legal and excitable nature.

 

[Zee]

Are we asking for any proof of ID for the alphabetically first and last competition?

I'll be sure to bring a freshly branded cow.

 

[Davywalnuts]

will do

I think that's wise, Martin T. And might I suggest laying hands on some codeine and some strapping?

Recce ride this Saturday early. Meet Cutty Sark Gardens, Greenwich at 6.30 am. If you're reading this User10571, we will absolutely not be going over any dead bodies. Not at all. (User10571 believes that no ride to Whitstable is complete without a Dead Body Diversion)

Am rather tempted, albeit meaning I am up at 4:30am, as due to not doing the Dun-run, as I dont trust the weather, I am now free, but, due to time constraints and commitments, I can only make it to Rochester, if we are having late brekkie there (?) and then turning back and leaving you.. If this is okay and theres no rain, then I would like to come and stretch my relaxed thighs...

 

[Becs]

i may have to bail - I've hurt my back again

A doctor says: 'Bad Becs are a cause for complaint' Get a better back soon Becs - and be back on the bike.

 

[Aperitif]

Would now be a good time to reveal that, in celebration of the arrival of grandchild number 2, I 'treated' myself to a Carradice? So if you could send me some cake recipes that would be great. And where can you get those SPD sandals?

These look like my cakes taste, Grandad!

I really, really worry about you.

 

[frank9755]

I really, really worry about you.

Martin, I hear they are meant to be just the thing for a sore achilles tendon...

 

[Aperitif]

O> I went around and around my fingers and toes, arriving at 128 names. + a couple more - a couple etc... That will be a lot of 'Keiran's Cups' at Andys Café. Bring a flask?

Other news:
And here's a public apology to Adam and User10571. I have just woken up. I had no note in my diary for the ride to Dunwich starting at 00:00 - really sorry to have let you down but I was asleep, having sat down after getting in from a work. I would have bailed out anyway I suspect... and it also explains why I have a ticket code reminder popping up on my 'phone!
Sorry sorry sorry.

 

[Flying Dodo]

Martin - nothing to apologise for - we didn't have a boat with us, so there wasn't a ride.

 

[Aperitif]

And you're up! Go to bed at once!

 

[Davywalnuts]

Am on my way. My body is in disgust with me..

Your 'temple' is keeping up with public opinion then davy! Have a good ride, you'll be exthighted by the time you all rock up to the Waterfront Breakfast bar.

well, a first class ride, followed by a first class lunch. Kieran is happy, Faye is happy. There are a couple of holes on the road in to Erith, reported two weeks ago, that haven't been filled, and I'll need to post someone to shout and wave. The downhill righthand bend just before Lower Halstow is looking especially lethal, so that will have to have to be marked as well. Other than that - all is good.
