Thursday Night Ride to the Coast April 9th

[TimO]

Neat trick with google too.

Google Calculator can do lots of neat things. Most of which are not documented, so you need to experiment a fair bit.

It does, however, know the answer to life, the universe and everything.

 

[Mista Preston]

random question and probably not the right place to ask but does anyone know a good large water bottle that doesent taste like plastic after 2 minutes....any thoughts other than adding ribena

 

[Aperitif]

Buy Evian or other from the shop - use the supplied bottle?

send me an e-mail on fnrttc@yahoo.co.uk........be quick - there's at least six more entries in the pipeline.

for list see below
(I await a call from the Mysterious Pavel which would bring the total - including myself - to 59. Which would be about it....)

Metcheck now showing a tail wind, decent temperatures, and minor amounts of rain.

I hadn't thought this would happen without doing a big mailing, but we'#re approaching the sensible limit.....

 

[Aperitif]

Enough here to hire a coach!

 

[Tynan]

not sure now, sorry

all out of front lights, the cheap one is busted and the good one isn't charging any more, they've agreed to repair it but I don't to buy another good one in the mean time

arse

 

[TimO]

I'm having light issues as well, my Exposure light has just died. I should be OK with the Dinotte, I normally only use the battery with the rear, but I can add a Y and power the front light with it as well. I tend not to use this, since having the cable running along the frame is a menace, but it's not too much of a problem for occasional use. I think it's rated for 32 hours on low, so even with the rear light draining some of the power, it should be OK for one nights use!

Like AdrianC said, it won't need all that much lighting, You're probably OK with just bog standard road legal lights.

Bumping up against the 60 mark. Room now for the occasional old hand, but that's about it......sorry

Metcheck now showing heavy rain in London after 4 am - but much less in Southend.

my wife is baking me a batch of chocolate chip cookies for the ride. As I'm not prepared to lug all of them to Southend I wonder if I'll get any volunteers to lighten the load?

you might, but bear in mind that (weather depending) this is the easiest 55 miles that you'll ever do. In a group this size you'll hardly need to turn a pedal.

Well, it's not quite that easy, but you know what I mean.

I'm now turning people away......
