Tea? (Part 2)

[coffeejo]

Excellent have a gold star and go to the top of the class I can never understand people who dont carry spare tubes.

Can I have a biskit instead?

Go on then as its you

Can I have a biskit instead?

Then you'll have a spare tyre as well as a spare tube

 

[coffeejo]

Thanks Phil!

Pots, did you see that Arch posted a photo (or was it a video?) of you in the men vs women thread?

*adds Jo to the ever growing ignore list*

Hot lemon?

 

[Baggy]

I have a saddle bag for all my tools and tubes etc and a bar bag for everything else. I have a small bar bag and a large one so I can choose depending on how far I am going.

Yebbut Jo's a roadie now n'everyfing, so she can't cart too much luggage around with her

I've recently started a girls' road ride with a colleague and a couple of other people - last week they asked why I rode my audax bike with a Carradice instead of bringing my road bike. This is after we'd been out for a couple of hours with me carrying an assortment of their phones, cash cards and emergency rations of Alpen bars

Going for the sympathy vote potsy? Sounds as if you have a lurgy?

What about the days when you go too far?

A fellow club rider has an older-style Caradice saddle bag that's not much wider than the saddle but lovely and deep. Plenty of room for the usual tools, phones etc, plus a sizeable first aid kit and room for his waterproof.

Seems that Caradice don't make them any longer.

*sulk*

But how far is that

Probably half as far as you've already gone...

I've got a horribly early start tomorrow - anyone want a non-caffeinated beverage?

Might be worth keeping an eye on Ebay - I got a neat enough little Carradice saddlebag on there, fairly old style.

Decaff Tea?

 

[coffeejo]

I'm on decaf [the other stuff] but I'll put the kettle on for everyone else's tea.

eBay: excellent idea. I would have thought of that eventually. Honest.

The ride leaves from Wellington at 9 sharp. I think it'll take me an hour to get there so better make that an hour and a quarter... throw in enough time to wake up properly and walk the dog and I'll be setting my alarm for a grumpily horrible hour (according to my body clock, anyway).

If I decide to do the Season of Mists next week I will have to get up at about 5:30 am

I don't know why I'm complaining: I used to get up at 6 every day and would usually wake up before the alarm. Now? Urgh!

I spent a lot of time in my teens and twenties going home at that time but I dont like to get up that early except for special cases.
