Looking forward to it.

I admit I have not bothered to look
What time is the train tomorrow morning? I take it no need to book bikes on that early a journey?

 

[<Tommy>]

Morning mate. I'm pretty sure it's 6:30 from Waterloo. I might try and get a ticket today rather than doing it bleary eyed tomorrow morning. You want me to get you one too? I think we'll just wheel the bikes on.

I'm still undecided what to wear tomorrow. I might just wear a long sleeve jersey. It was bloody chilly this morning walking the hound and the forecast says it'll only reach a high of 16 tomorrow. It's funny, I'm generally an odd sock, throw on the nearest thing to me kind of guy... I don't think I've ever spent this long choosing an outfit!

But before you say anything I still stand by the the wet wipes comment Miss Bobinski

I'm sure I read somewhere that train companies won't allow bikes on that cost more than £600 .... especially fancy carbon bikes. Something to do with insurance, or maybe that real men ride heavy bikes and not featherlike new fandangled things. I think it was a policy aimed at overpaid London MAMILs, or something similar. You guys may have to get yourselves down to Halfords and buy yourselves something in their sale











I'd look up the article for you, but I may have just made it all up

I hear you Miss Turbo-choosing an outfit is SUCH hard work i may have to make a G and T to recover.

Yes please to the return ticket. Let me know how much and i will find a way to forget to pay it

The irony will be all over your nice Rapha top if you have a mechanical and get covered in that expensive lube you likely use
