Ah...
That might explain why I'm finding it difficult to buy my normal snail speed train ticket to London :-(
The platform machine wouldn't offer it and the app wouldn't take my booking it even though it offered the route....trip to the ticket office required.

I can report that cake making has started. The authorities baked sponge cakes, bread pudding and fruit cake. Today I will be making flapjacks and lemon drizzle cakes.

The floor of the hall has just been varnished, so you will have to take your shoes off.
See you tonight

@mikeee Technically, the ride is closed. But as it's you, I've sent you a PM with the details I need ;-)

I take it you know where the revised start is? We no longer go from HPC. I can send your the email that went to registered riders earlier this week when you send me your details.

See you later.

Do we get blue foot covers?

I have some if you're desperate....

 

[Fab Foodie]

It's OK, I'll just make sure I am first to use the facilities.

Sealskinz?

Gutted to have to have pulled out on this (illness) but the weather in London is currently brilliant, so hopefully you'll get a nice dry, balmy (but not too balmy of course) evening.

 

[robjh]

Have a good night everyone, and hope you get a good sunrise tomorrow
and a great breakfast at the Waterfront .

Can't say I'm at all envious

 

[ianrauk]

Envious of Orpington here too...
Don't forget.. shoe's off at the halfway stop and eat as much cake as you are able.
Enjoy the mild temperatures it's gonna be a mild night.

 

[User10571]

Just up from my pre-ride nam-nams.
Out of the jim-jams and into the lycra.
I excite.
