Lashings of seagull shoot though - anyone would think those birds were 'by appointment'. Whose wedding was it...Andrew? No William. Olaf and I mixed with the chinorati that day...in deepest Belgravia. And we got whistled at by an open topped car full of people. Just goes to show how stupid the crowds were on the day. Sort another wedding out, Adrian - that was a good ride! Remember that guy on the phone at the garage?

At the same garage, there was a rather fitting van.....2785325 said:

Those were the days, Stu - when you used to have a van and driver for your clobber.At the same garage, there was a rather fitting van.....

See! Sam's idea is not so crazy! An incident-packed, lookey-likey seance, leading to a guano splattered troupe outside the Witherspines, watching the manager instruct the minions on how to lay out the royal carpets for the special occasion impending. I think I posed a 'giant bear'* somewhere too - was it this ride? Outside the Tescoteria en route? Tim will have a photo...

Fading memory, or a different ride? This was seen at the supermarket in, umm, Eltham.
Photo recovery - have you tried photorec from cgsecurity? It's all a bit command line but does a good job.

See! Act in Hastings and repent at leisure.
I have no idea...I do exactly what I say on the tin, and the only aides memoire are photographs. Ta Tim - I'll investigate.

Noted !
Can I "baggsy" 1st August for the Manchester-Morecambe ride ?
The half-way stop will be before half-way and it'll be a 24hr McDonalds.
That will entail a different route around Blackburn and climbing higher than the "classic" route but it'll avoid those blasted dips after Edgworth and the bumpy descent from the moors.
I need to speak to DZ about it, but what's the group's view of bike paths rather than roads ?
There's quite a nice off-road route to Radcliffe that I've found (here between kms 13 and 20 :- http://www.strava.com/activities/96715519).
There are some bike gates (that drop-bar bikes can ride through) and it's eminently do-able on skinny slicks.
After Radcliffe, we'd pick up the roads to Bury since we mustn't miss out the snooker hall.
I'm probably going to ride up to Blackburn along the route on Wednesday 27th Nov if anyone's interested.

It'll soon be summer
Aha - looks good. (Note for anyone interested - you have to log into Strava to see the link posted above). That path looks like it's paved, or well compacted gravel so I'd be happy with that.

It's exactly that.
In summer there should be less/no leaf mulch on the path.
It was quite muddy yesterday !
When I ride up on Wednesday, I'll take the camera and photograph the key bits.
Hopefully, come next August, I'll have secured sufficient supplies of virgins and goats to ensure that the weather is fine.
