Riding a folding bike far too much of the time...
I wouldn't trust TimO navigation after his attempts last year to find London Bridge from Look Mum No Hands after a few beers! I am sure the evidence can still be found somewhere on CycleChat??? Bring on the 'SLAGs'!

Regretfully, circumstances preclude my attendance on this fine ride:

Some idiot reversed his jeep into the bicycle stands while I was carb-loading at Olley's in Herne Hill.
That's so merde, Bruce. Such a lovely wheel too....
*fingers through Pantone chart to try and find a colour match for n+1*
... sounds like it could've had a much less amicable outcome, though.....
Olley's still doing choice fish and chips?

* = I was at the back, no one noticed, it did not slow down the ride and it was not the tyres fault. More mine for being frugal. Please keep at 120psi :thumbsup:
ahem! At the front of the ride we received the usual full reports from our chef d'affaires. I looked around the expectant crowd, saying 'this ride has just gone up a notch. It's a new era. Davy has lifted our game for us. It's time we expected this kind of professionalism of ourselves. I, personally, will try to do better from now on.'
but we didn't know whose tyre had gone pop

The forecast suggests that wrapping up warm would be a good idea.

:unsure:

So what exactly is it doing down there? It was freezing here this morning, but I put that down to the fierce North-Easterly into which I set off.

I'm currently showing 8.9°C in SE Londres. Clear (potentially chilly) skies...
It's forecast to drop to somewhere between 5°C and 2°C at HPC at around midnight.
Colder is expected downroute, although it creeps up a degree or two as we approach the coast.
Could be a race to get the indoor tables.....

Overnight 1c, dry, and with a following NE wind hence the cold.
As noted previously, it may drop below zero. But remaining dry.
Just did recce of Stream Lane, W.Chilt. - take v good care if it drops near zero, there is dampness on road sufarce and a little water. Should be a few degrees higher by then as dawn will have broken.
