Tea? (Part 1)

[HelenD123]

I'm sending a fresh pot down south. It sounds like you need it...

 

[HelenD123]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm ok then.

Got any cream cakes? I'm starving

This is a cycling forum. Don't you know we're perfectly honed athletes who wouldn't dream of eating cream cakes?

 

[ComedyPilot]

2972 he he

 

[ComedyPilot]

Sorry, I meant 2971.



But it's 2972 now!!

I did have some coffee sponge left, with chocolate curls on top!

er the choc curls are on top of the cake, not me,

er I mean I am not on top of the cake

But if you leave me alone with cake

Just heard about tdr1nka's bike.

What can I say? Bastards!

I had a bike nicked in 1988, and I've never got over it. I've never had a frame that fitted me as well as that one did, and they don't make 'em any more.

Bastards.

 

[tdr1nka]

D'ya think it was the same Bastards?

Just got in from doing a morning cycle history session with Hilldodger at a school local to me.
The Clarty Hack is trying it's very best but being an old Trek MTB and not my beloved Oadrat it just isn't inspiring me much at all.

Off for lunch now, to get fed up a different way.

 

[Amanda P]

That's a bit harsh they probably just went out of business

That's true. They were known as Raleigh. A British outfit that used to make bike frames by hand in Nottingham.

Now they just import far-eastern stuff.

 

[HelenD123]

Just read a warning in my local paper about bike theft. Apparently 15 have been stolen in about two weeks. Maybe it's the hot weather bringing them out.

 

[Amanda P]

D'ya think it was the same Bastards?

You never know.

It was nicked from outside Jessops in The Hayes, Cardiff.

As in

"And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in The Hayes"

Aw Tdr1nka, just read about the Roadra, what a bummer.

I have a few ideas for bike thieves, they involve a soundproofed shipping container fitted with manacles and range of power tools...

Now, earlier on, it was chucking it down, so I opted for a lift out to knitting night. Now, the sun's come out. I have until 5.30 to make the final decision (that would be when I had to leave to ride out).

The annoyance, of course, would be if it was nice riding out, but then came on to chuck it down again when I had to come home. It's a bit of a gamble.

Also, I have got one pannier entirely loaded with knitting books, to show one of my friends some patterns. So it's not a lightweight trip...

 

[TheDoctor]

'ere, Doc.

Thanks again for the wellgo clipless.
Were it not for them I would have had to ride in 'normal shoes' again.

Heh, you're welcome. I thought they may have been on the late lamented...
I take it you didn't go to Brick Lane on a hunt for return and retribution?

 

[HelenD123]

Tea's in the pot for anyone that wants it.

Thanks! I'm decorating my dining room today so fear I'll be in need of lots of tea...

 

[Landslide]

Morning all!

Back down to earth with a bump (office , Roadrat getting abducted after a great weekend with the "in-laws".
Sunday was spent on the "Meres and Mosses" audax, following large amounts of North Shropshire's cycle routes. 'Twas Mrs Landslide's first audax, and she sped round the 110km in 6 hours including cake stops!

 

[Speicher]

oh crumbs, let me think

lemon puffs, shortcake, hob nobs, discustard creams
