Not a Christmas Night Ride to Bognor

[Flying Dodo]

Stream Lane is called that, as it runs alongside a stream, which with the run off from the fields means it regularly overflows onto the road.

I wouldn't bother with mudguards as we'll be going very slowly along there.



Edit - And thanks to Shadow for the update.

Sorry but a stupid question: why is this place so wet when it's not really rained since Monday??

Not sure; all mondays rain drains down to this area and it takes days to clear; there are a number of slopes around here where this happens; it is not called Stream Lane for nothing!

 

[Shadow]

Do I need to put my mudguards back on?

I would. It depends on how dirty you like your back!


Edit: apologies FD, started to replying to MT235 and then saw your reply; must improve my typing speed!

Martin - I do hope you're going to be more alert than this for this icy night ride...

You'll get a live report from Tapatalk if there is 'owt oop' ! (<------- this is a pic of a hysterical civil servant bathing at midnight on a flooded lane somewhere in the South of England)

BE careful!

I may also be able to do live(ish) uploads from my camera using the Eye-Fi card in it, and my mobile phone acting as a Hot-Spot.

If I get it working, I'll allow access to the Facebook Album from anyone, and post the link here.

Sounds great - unfortunately I'll be asleep!

OK, if I get things to work OK, images should appear here on Facebook. You should be able to view this, even if you're not on Facebook.

I've just found I've got things that Must Be Finished Today, so I won't have the time to come down and join you. Bugger!

I'm dead jealous of you all. Have a good ride, and hope you don't meet any ice!

Ok, ok I did say it was a stupid question.....

 

[Andrij]

[Davywalnuts]

Okay, allmost all set to go.

Few niggling issues:-

Slight chain slip under high torque. Have removed another link and better, but just broken the chain breaker!!

Keo cleat bolt has decieded it doesnt want to come out, but the cleat will be fine for the journey, just.

But thats it i think, baring the wonky knee and hamstring, but ill be fine.

Its BLOODY cold out there so ill be wearing everything!!

HPC set off at midnight still?

 

[Flying Dodo]

Yup.

 

[martint235]

Just checked rear tyre pressure, good job too. Flat. 4 seasons make it hard to find puncture but fixed, hopefully fairy is now tired and sleeping
