FNRttC Southend Ride Friday 10th March 2017

[J1888]

Very excited now; got myself a little saddlebag and have got 2x inner tubes, tyre levers, multitool and puncture repair kit stuffed in.

Phone, wallet, keys and money will go in my tribag. Only thing I can't fit anywhere is my mini-pump - will have to find the bracket and attach to the frame and them I'm all set

Good forward planning and great to have a pump with you: there'll probably be two or three dozen pumps on the ride. If you need to use it you'll be stationary and within a few minutes the TECs will be with you.

I took it as a cue for the rest of us not to bring one

You should see how small it is...fnarr fnarr

It needs the exercise. It doesn't get anywhere near enough. But it doesn't need that much.
Truth is, I have stuff which needs my attention on Saturday. Well overdue stuff. I can't be doing with extended sleeping, or cycling.

ETA - But, to be fair and having given it some thought, your idea isn't a bad one, and I may consider it for a future SMRBTTS.

Gutted not to be on this, but Other Stuff* is happening this weekend.


* Scout camp. New hat needs showing off.

New hat needs showing off.

Euphamism?

 

[Fab Foodie]

Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out. Work needs to be done first thing Saturday morning.
The joys of being self employed!
