Not a Christmas Night Ride to Bognor

[Aperitif]

Truesay Adrian...I might go the other way...It's just that Tim is so...so.'Establishment' - so 'Ever Ready'. We may tremble somewhat if there is no clanking emanating from Tim - no spare anchor for a wayward ship, or 3/4" British Standard Whitworth tap for some obscure mudguard mount. No. It just wil not be the same...

The Red bike is just continuing the theme, I think every FNRttC I've ever done has either been on my On-One Pompino or Planet-X Kaffenback. I do also have a Decathlon B'Twin (the snow bike), a Dawes Super Galaxy (in bits), Brompton (needs a new rear rim), and Sinngular Peregrine (not built yet!), none of which have done a FNRttC... yet...

Well, I don't have a red bling bike but I think I'm up for this as long as its not icy. It's going to be at an easy pace, right? Just that I'm not sure my legs are up to anything fast at the moment...

PS: Hope everything goes well with your sister, Davy

PPS: Lovely bike there, Tim. Even if it does have something of a red theme!

Nice. The perfect audax bike there Tim!

I'm not sure it counts as an Audax bike, you couldn't mount any but the thinnest tiniest mudguards on it, and it's only got a double chainring (although there's a ten speed cassette on the back).

... Lovely bike there, Tim. Even if it does have something of a red theme!

It's even redder now, I replaced the white hoods with red ones, and I've put red water bottle cages on as well.

The Tail-Rider is of course also red, even if the rack isn't.

The forecasts all seem to think it'll be (just) below freezing all night. I'm still in if anyone else is......!

I'm going to say no to this friday

Not quite completely over this flu yet and don't want to aggravate it, and I have quite a lot to do on Saturday.

See you on the next ride.

 

[Flying Dodo]

Well, I've just put some batteries on charge, so I'm still in.

 

[Aperitif]

You know me and your rides, Adam - but I have something to do first thing on Saturday...(zzzzz ) Nah - better than that!

 

[TimO]

I'm currently planning on doing the ride. I've found some of the things which need charging, and some of the chargers!

I'm afraid I have to be at work at seven the next morning, so I can't make it. Sorry.

I'm still up for this at the mo. Is it just the 4 of us then?

I very much still want to. Bognor has been the elusive ride i've never done, but I wont know till tomorrow, late afternoon if I can. The other factor i've got to contend with is fitting a whole new group set tonight too.

And thanks everyone for your wishes, kinda bricking it!

Now that's a shame. Working on a Saturday - it's a slippery slope.

Not to worry though. After all, it won't really qualify for many AAA points, being just a "Bog" standard ride to the coast.

Another time.

It'll be 'bog' standard alright...Davy's thinking of doing it!
