a decent recce this morning. Andy's cafe is taking the ham and cheese sandwich route, and the Waterfront is clued up. Only one pothole that causes me concern.

Susie and I were joined by User10571 and a chap sporting electronic gear changers. We'll call him 'Sparky'.....

 

[Aperitif]

"Topcat. not content with sporting custom fit Dromarti, Assos and Rapha wonderwear, is now cooking electric."

Are you OK Dave? Pictures would be handy at this stage...

 

[ianrauk]

So Dave finally went and did it!

 

[Aperitif]

...probably looks a bit crappy on his old bikes. I can see a new one on the horizon... There's an iPhone app. to shift Di2 remotely, did you know that Dave? You could be in bother going up hills!

 

[topcat1]

a very good ride today (the sun came out ) i have some pics, they'll be up tomorrow i'm going to bed

(you can see a few build up pics of r2d2 on the link in the commercial lorries thread)

 

[swarm_catcher]

Yeah!! I'm in.

Since I'll have to make a quick turnaround at Whitstable, thought to pop into St Stephens Tavern before the ride. Real ale pub with Badgers on draught. I like a Fursty Ferret.

St Stephens Tavern

Tut tut! No drinking before 08:00 Saturday. Them's the rules.

Yeh but ... I only said I would 'pop in' and that 'I like a Fursty Ferret'. Never mentioned drinking ... anyhow, un petit apero, Apertif, ne fera pas de mal?
