FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Whitstable June 1st

[QUOTE 1883072, member: 1314"]Good writer, Claud. I can't wait to write the Cardiff to Mumbles story. In fact I'll do it now...

Claud promised me a tailwind and a dry night I mused in a wry "it is what it is" acceptance as the cold wet red fury blew in from the Atlantic, it's headlong rush barely halted by the hinterland, turning the Millennium Stadium into King Canute of the winds...

...as I finally reached the tidal mountain of the 5 in 10 Devil's Middle-Finger, I realised I had been drawn not to the Fnrttc in South Wales but the Fnrttc in BLACK HELL...

...raising my head from the hostelry table at noon, I realised it had not been a dream sent by the winds that rise from haunted groves. My hands were bleeding and my knees were sore...etc[/quote]

Must check its Wiki entry for orthodoxy.

Without even looking at wikipedia (or any other site) my money is on that church not being Orthodox.

Hear, hear. Or at the very least some articles for the better sort of cycling journal.

I agree. That was a brilliant read.

We began the ride with a pint of Polish beer and a kabanos......

Kabanos.
Not quite chorizo, it's a bit of an animal.

It's just that no one's sure which bit.

Sorry for the late follow up, but we went camping for a week after we got back.

So take all the thank yous as read. A few pictures, including 'Teef and his new friend are here.

This is an "OK of barbed wire." Nice one, Tim. I note that I am talkin' balls again.
