Count me in.
We had jolly good fun last year.

Another one for lovers of old machinery. Meet at Crystal Palace and ride to the seaside. Shouting Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb optional

I'm not sure if my friend Mr Pugh will be on the fire engine this year (Imperial College Car Club), although he might be riding his Ner-a-Car I guess.

Hmm. Diary looks clear.

 

[ianrauk]

Little bump for this ride.

Who's in?

 

[rb58]

I'm in.

 

[ianrauk]

It isn't.

Boo hiss

I'd love to do this again sometime but checking my write up from last year, it seems we had to get up at 4.45am to meet you all in Purley at 8.15am. That kind of early start feels like a dealbreaker this year.

That was 4.15am for us.
4.45am to go to Brighton and back... hmmm. At least we'd be home before midnight.
