FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast York to Hull 9th September 2011

no, sorry - 21.00

Do I presume its the standard East Coast Train arrangements with cycles in the 'goods' van at the far end of the train? Do you bother to lock?

They scratched my frame badly last time (squuezing too many in as the previous train had been cancelled).

Unless you go for the Frank special arrangement, putting it behind your seat in 1st class

It's interesting that Frank has developed unique strategies for avoiding cycle theft. It's almost as though he has a special insight into the criminal mindset...

 

[Mice]

I suspect that he just has alternative strategies.

He is very quiet. Do you think he has been nicked?

[Mice]

And who would do that?

Good question - who would steal a Frank9755. Perhaps he's on another thread. Not bound for York?

Marilyn and I will also be on the 21.00.

He's probably just taken Friday off and is riding up from London. It's not far, really. Not to him.

[Alberto]

Bloody minimalists. Next you'll be saying you don't like mudguards either!

Cheers,

it's a bit scary when he comes in to the thread as Admin.

Consider a long, long line of deletives expleted - I'm not on for tomorrow. Thoroughly p****d off. Lawyers playing silly games.

Simon - hope you got my e-mail

I hope the weather forecast is wrong for friday night...

though this could propmt many bad 'roman' jokes (if the forecast changes this will not makes sense...)
