England : Cambridgeshire Not a Christmas Friday Night ride - 11th December

[ianrauk]

Apologies, Adam, but I don't think I'm going to make it. Uta is getting back from a 10-day business trip in the US tomorrow so the timing is inopportune. And my physio would rather I rest a bit longer. So, with regret, I'll cry off. Shame, as the weather is looking a lot better - may even miss the rain altogether.

Sorry you can't make it Frank... whats the problem that you need physio?

It's a pain in the neck! Basically, since about April, whenever I've ridden for more than about 3 hours, I've got a pain between my shoulder blades that gets steadily worse. It made a bit of a mess of this season so I'd like to try to get it fixed. First thing I tried was a bike fit but that didn't really help so I'll find out what the physio has done when I am allowed to ride again!

Ah well. This will be run again, possibly as a proper FNRttC next October.

1. damnit are you trying to stop me from coming then too by making it a FNRttC?
2. to what coast?
3. hope you enjoy the ride!

And seeing as the Thames is tidal in That London, it could also be claimed we're at the coast anyway.

When will people be arriving at Cambridge Station? And is there a set meeting point?

 

[mjr]

I'd suggest you meet outside the windows of the ticket office, where the black van is in https://goo.gl/maps/dH8Q65iQ8S12 but it's more up to those who will be there

 

[Flying Dodo]

I'll be loitering either immediately outside or in the ticket hall, from about 11:30 depending upon how chilly it is!

<----I'll look just like I do in my picture - except it might be a red cap.

I'll just look out for a bunch of reprobates hanging around with bikes. What could go wrong?

In Cambridge? Quite a lot. I suggest heading for the maturest bunch of reprobates you see there.

We've had worse on a night ride....

 

[CharlieB]

My train leaves KX at 21:52, so it should get to Cambridge about an hour or so later.
Wavering between a spotlessly clean road bike and a slightly grubby Brompton at the moment and the Brommie is slightly in favour.

 

[robjh]

You haven't met them then?

I think we all have. There won't be many looking like us at the station at midnight.

 

[robjh]

I was commenting on the level of maturity.

A point well made - I was thinking of age only.

 

[Tim Hall]

Sorry, I think I'm going to have to pull out of this one. Real Life has got in the way. Have a safe ride.
