The Fridays Tour

[martint235]

That was me Martin and I'm ok thanks, a lack of funds meant that full kit (not even including tent) would cost way more than the 32 quid I've paid for a hotel room...

Good to know. Sorry it took so long for me to get my a**e in gear, just never got round to digging the tent out.

Odd....it never showed up in my spam filter, and as to why it would get bounced when you sent it...pass.

It got blocked at this end. It happens quite a lot - I have to send out the general e-mails in bunches of 95 addresses and so on and so forth, but after about 800 or 900 in a day it just goes 'phut' and Yahoo suspends my account for 24 hours, then relents after I fill in some dopey code

Hmm, it might be an idea to see if my luggage will fit the containers I have in mind tomorrow evening as I've had a very lazy weekend. Bike is in the shop being checked/fettled. Non-Bontrager tyres will be fitted. I'll probably start to worry as Friday gets closer, but all is calm so far.

Email still not received

Packing won't take long. Bike was full working order last time I rode it, and it won't have spontaneously fallen to bits in the last week. LBS will be giving it a once over anyway. Definitely not worried.

Bingham at about two (but I will have a better idea in a couple of days)

I would book for a four o'clock train to be on the safe side - but why not wait until I report back?

Dellz, any update on this?

I hope that's still the case as I've got tickets booked for a 16:04 train out of Bingham!

Email read.
New chain fitted last week and new chainring arriving tuesday. Everything else ready, bring on Friday

I think between 2 and 3, but bear in mind that you'll be able to sprint ahead - by the time we get to Wymondham (at about 12) our speed will be very sedate.

Ah! excellent! East Midlands to St P, via Nottingham? Or Nottingham., Grantham, Kings Cross? Have you booked a bike space or are you going for the winning smile and charm technique?
