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

[Trickedem]

I have just returned home from a night out and my house smells of cakes. Mrs trickedem has baked sufficient cakes for everyone. Furthermore, as I understand it, several other volunteers have cooked similar quantities. Please don't eat much between now and 3.30am on Saturday morning because you are all headed for a cake fest

High Street, Strood - after yesterday afternoon's dress rehearsal for the state visit of Queen Hilda and her 'on tour age'. Big cakes keep tablecloths in check!
And if you can't eat all of TimCo's cakes...
"KEEP
CALM
AND
CARRY
ONE"

'Sufficient for everyone'? We'll see about that!!

Forget gently - break it to him majestically. Queen Hilda of Lowergearing can have an alternative party in Whitstable Street.
Everyone bring a flag (no, I don't mean a huge flat stone, Stu - even though you are probably toting one onboard) affixed to their bicycle! Tons of stuff in Poundland. No Union Jack underpants though Davy...the world is not ready.
And bring sharpeners, so, like the Queen, eveyone can have a little fillip from time to time.

No, I'm not. Though as ever, it seems the Deuter Gravitational Transference & Multiplication System is working a bit too well. Those clever Germans have made a rucksack that's light and comfortable for the wearer, but makes other riders in the group obliged to moan and winge about a load they aren't even carrying

 

[StuartG]

Yes. Victoria at 11:00 ish for me.

Yes well I'll come too if it don't put anybody else off ~ 23:15

 

[theclaud]

Is there a gathering at Victoria as usual for this one? I need to decide whether to change trains and go to Waterloo or not.

I'll probably swing by Victoria, as I'll be a bit early to go straight to Waterloo.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Hooray! Sounds like we have a peleton

May I be the Lanterne Rouge? Changing trains amongst the drunkerati at Clarm doesn't appeal.

I think they're using Tyburn these days for treason. The last view's better apparently.

 

[Aperitif]

moan and winge about a load

Oooo! careful Stu - I think you're getting a bit mixed up there. Moaning and whingeing is something I would probably do if the folk I was riding with shot off the front and I couldn't keep up. That would really warrant a 'M&W' Or maybe not...I don't know. Yet.

 

[rich p]

Don't worry, we'll gallop up and cut her down at the last moment!

When I saw your name here, Rich, I thought you might be coming along ...

Missing the company but a lot of family matters at the mo. BTW, have you bought our café yet?

 

[rich p]

Someone else snapped it up!

We miss you too! Must do another Sussex ride when you have more time, there are a few newbies around who might like to come along.

Good idea. I think it may have to be August for me. Think on't.

[QUOTE 1871629, member: 1314"]What time you arriving TC? I wouldn't mind a pint beforehand. I get bored hanging around at home. The Stage Door off The Cut be a good place if anyone's around early doors.[/quote]

I will escape Paddington about 9:45. I'll PM you my mobile number - I could possibly be tempted to a pint...

 

[dellzeqq]

Just so long as you Victoria lot are at Waterloo by half past eleven...

[Tim Hall]

We shall also assemble ourselves at Victoria. A chap has to get his pasty before embarking on such an adventure.

especially if it's VAT-free!
