@User10571 , forget train times. It's about time you joined us for a return back to home.

Be great if you cam join us.

 

[User10571]

Fitted new pedals to the VN today - need to try them out......
For the record, there's little about teh RBH that appeals to me....
Nothing wrong with it, other than it doesn't appeal to me.

ETA: Oh Ian, in the spirit of flexibility, by all mens have a stab at persuading me. I'm all ears.
Anticipate resistance......

 

[Tim Hall]

Ah. I could well be there. Onna a fixie. @ianrauk, it's a blue one. Is anyone starting at Crystal Palace? @User10571 perhaps?

 

[User10571]

I don't think anyone is going to be at t'Palace for the start.
For me, that'd involve a diversion which includes A Hill.
Unless you're going there cos you want to take some pictures and want the company, or something, my first contact with the dishonourable company is likely to be at Every Little Hell in Purley at 08:30.
Let me know if you are heading for t'Palace.

My bikes are having mechanicals and I appear to be having inside/medial knee pain so need to rejig set up before putting more miles in. Sorry to miss this but have a good one guys.

See you in the six items or less* queue at Purley then.

* If it were Waitrose* it would be "or fewer", obvs.

* Nice subjunctive, even if I do say so myself.

 

[User10571]

I went to a comprehensive secondary school, not a grammar school. So I was never taught any grammar. (F*k me! I just had to look up how to spell 'grammar')
I've no idea what subjunctive is.
I should probably go and look it up in The Book of Words. (As opposed to The Laminated Book of Dreams, aka the Argos catalogue)

 

[User10571]

It'll be good to see you...

 

[ianrauk]

I'll be in town on Sunday so I might wander along to the chip shop and see if anyone's around .

Planning on being their for 12-1.
Will be heading for the chippie on the beach.

 

[ianrauk]

Yeah. The Great Escape isn't it.

 

[ianrauk]

Sand trickling from the trouser leg?

pebbles more like.

 

[User10571]

.....................Some significant change is required to this ^ before there is a likelihood of me being at
Tesco at 08:30

ETA.Five hours later, it appears to have deteriorated rather than improved

 

[Tim Hall]

I still plan to be there - I have a need to ride. @ianrauk I haven't got your mobile number for when I get lost.

 

[ianrauk]

Also still planning to be there. All weather forecasts saying rain clearing by mid morning.
