Yep! Sorry about that BM! Was in a world of my own trying to get back to family! :sad:

By the time I heard your shout, you were already long gone :sad:

I'm looking at extending my ride home tomorrow after work, and may well be heading down the A21 to bromley. Say hello if you see me :evil:

I'm going to be out on the A21 tomorrow too. Doubt I'll see anyone though as it'll be around 11am as I'm taking advantage of the sunny weather to have a day off!

Did I mention the day off? Is that rubbing it in? :evil:

I do the A21 daily from The Greenman / Homebase to Lewisham Loampit Hill, as I go up Lewisham Hill towards Greenwich (usually around 7.30-7.45). Look out for a Watt-O on his Focus, blue jersey!!!

Bloody A21 part timers.... leave it to the professionals like myself. Arallsop and Bentmikey :biggrin::laugh:

Ah. Sorry Ian (and everyone else). Got to admit I've just had 2 weeks off :biggrin:

But I'm back now, and will be on the A21 tonight. :smile:

Assuming the filming gets approved, will be off to take part in the TfL viral lorries advert.

Good luck with that. I don't think they could have a better cyclist involved.

I should be on the morning A21 commute for the first time in ages. My weekday commutes are normally afternoon/nights. Assuming the filming gets approved, will be off to take part in the TfL viral lorries advert.

This wasn't you, Watt-O, by any chance?

White lycra cyling shorts?!!! Are you having a laugh? I have more sense than to wear those nancy boy shorts! Strictly black only!

BTW I haven't spotted a recumbant nutter on my commute! Looks bloody dangerous to me. You must have an industrial strength anal sphincter! :tongue:

Nice camera work!

Ask Andy - riding an upright is what's scary after riding a recumbent. Nobody sees you or pays you the blindest bit of attention on an upright, it's like wearing an invisibility cloak. Unlike the recumbent, which gets seen an order of magnitude more.

Its true.

But an industrial strength anal sphincter would be useful for keeping the rain out on fast descents. A 48mph enema is not so nice. :tongue:

Well done Mikey. Looking forward to hearing about it.

Met someone who knew you last night. Time triallist, riding a Storck. Lovely it was too. He rides with a Catford club, and said a skating bentrider had been along a couple of times.

Nice riding with him. Works in Marylebone / lives in Bromley, so we shared 5 miles of the A21. He was battling a headwind that I was ignoring, but otherwise a good pace.
