The Fridays Tour

[ttcycle]

Simon, wishing Susie well- sorry to read this.

I think we'll be heading for Brighton tomorrow.

Perhaps we'll see you en route. Evey and I trundling down from ours, leaving 1030 and following the route we used last time. Best wishes and speedy recovery to the Babe.

Andy.

 

[Tim Hall]

Blimey. GWS the Babe.

Historical and architectural note: St George's Hospital wasn't always in sunny Tooting. It started life in central London, at a location used these days for bunches of well meaning cyclists to gather before riding though the night to the sea side. (The Lanesborough Hotel at HPC uses the hospital building as an, err, hotel)

Gosh, only just read this. So sorry to hear that - GWS and best wishes from the elephants, too.

she's doing just fine. Rode down to Horley yesterday, making a nervous start but cheering up down Lonesome Lane, and rode to work on the Brompton this morning. Thanks for the text messages and e-mails......

 

[clarion]

And who wouldn't be cheered up by Lonesome Lane? Glad she's feeling better.

Fell off the last time I rode down Lonesome Lane. Didn't half hurt.

Train to Penzance booked this morning, luggage sorted, just the bits in between LE and JOG to work on.

I've never fallen off there, but I have on Slugwash Lane, when I inadvertently became temporarily airborne. Although it was several years ago. And at night. I subsequently learnt not to do silly things when at the front of the peloton. That's why I stick at the back (where you can't be spotted).

As I was alone, it never actually happened.

Do tree's make a noise when they fall over in a wood when no one is around to hear?

Dunno. But one's hip went purple for a reason....

 

[martint235]

Apropos of nothing in particular as I'm only doing day 1 but I measured my bike the other day and it's 1.15m to the saddle. Normal sized bike obviously.

 

[redflightuk]

Well thats me all booked up. The last nights camping sorted.

Back to the "tools in the van" thing:

What about a short length of M10 x 1 studding, gearhanger straightening for the use of?

I've been meaning to get hold of a bit for a while. While a shaved monkey with an adjustable spanned is good, I think this will be more elegant.
