How on earth did you manage to catch that Davy..? Best lie down in a dark room and watch an England match...that should make you feel better.

Please add Clive and Marilyn as probables.

Can I check that it is 9 am at Kings X?

 

[ttcycle]

Teef - did you manage to 'survey' the route?
90 odd miles? I regret asking about informal rides now if this is the punishment that is metered out to me!

Just a quick question, are people bringing locks with them? I don't like long rides with a backpack but would need one for the bikelock unless others were bringing locks or had room for me to cheekily store a lock?

 

[Norm]

I could come over to Cookham at lunchtime with a selection of locks, rather than peeps needing to carry them with. They are generally either heavy or useless and not the sort of thing which I'd like to carry in a rucksack.

 

[ttcycle]

Ah Norm that would be fantastic and very kind but does that not preclude you not being able to come out on the ride or are you still waving at us from your house as planned?

 

[Norm]

I've done some practice runs recently and I can't keep much over 15mph for long, so I'd never maintain anything higher. I'd hate to hold peeps up and I doubt this will be the last "club" run ever organised, so I'm happy taking a rain check.

Besides, I'm nearly done setting up my company's Cycle To Work policy. I'll be, selflessly, doing a trial run of the new policy once I have decided between the Giant Defy (my favoured choice) and a Spesh Secteur which called to me across the LBS yesterday.

Hahah - ahem that's properly selfless isn't it?

I think 15mph average is alright actually, that's an easy run out with a club. I'm hoping it's sociable in parts as well (and not overly hilly), as otherwise it would be painful just trying to hold a pace and not talk to anyone! Come on Norm- you know you want to - if we're running behind I'm sure we can lop off a section here or there...

If you like! - mike e is leading this one...he gets in about 05:30 on Saturday - innit mikeee?

I am now going to write something sensible - watch this space, as I "reccieieieieied" this ride yesterday (Well, the bit we aint done yet...)
