Thursday Night Ride to the Coast to Felpham 5th April

[Rube]

Claud is definitely not a man.

mmm...not sure who to trust anymore...the first person I must meet is Claud, the second Greg. As for layer

 

[Rube]

damn that wine - can't remember what I was going to say

 

[Wobblers]

And for that, I am so sorry, Andrew!

Absolutely no need to apologise: I'd have been fine if only I'd remembered to bring a woolly hat and buff (which weren't much use to me at home!!).

<--------- I look like this. I appear trustworthy.

I just thought "He iz well 'ard, innit?"

lol...I shall reserve judgment I think - although, I believe that you were on the Brighton ride but did not speak, at least not with me

Ha! Freezing my tits off, more like!!!

I did once complete an entire FNRttC London - Brighton in silence. But not the last one.

I work on two principals

A little bit of me goes a long way

-and-

I'm an acquired taste

<--------- I look like this. I appear trustworthy.

In the dark it's difficult to tell. Who people are, and who appears trustworthy.

 

[Aperitif]

And then there is the distinction between appearing trustworthy and being trustworthy.

Always trust User10571.

Context is all. It is much easier to appear trustworthy in low light.

Trust me, I'm trustworthy

You're no racing snake, Greg, but there is a certain similarity in the eyes, I agree... This thread is turning into a load of old cobras - I think I'll have to do a ride soon and find out just who one can trust these days. Must dash, I have an appointment at the hairdresser.
Why is everyone leading 'Rube' a merry dance anyway?

"The Claud"(ine) is definitely of the fairer sex, although she does wear quite a lot of black, so could be difficult to spot as she whizzes by (she most definitely is not slow!) She'll almost certainly be waymarking (assuming she's on a ride), rather than TECing, so look out for her on junctions and roundabouts.

As for the rest of the disreputable bunch fine group of ride leaders, TECs and waymarkers, you'll have to work that out as you go along, although Simon / dellzeqq shouldn't be too challenging to spot. It does give you a perfectly valid reason to wander up to people and ask them who they are. There are two major groupings of people; those who have somehow found out about the FNRttCs without ever using the Internet (yes, apparently this is possible) and who have never heard of CycleChat, and the second group, which is us lot (although there's another sub-group who have heard of CycleChat, have been known to post on here, but generally avoid contacting such a dangerous bunch of socialising deviants).

Another way to work out who is who, is to hang around at the end for the drinking rehydration session, and people will probably become more voluble, but also sometimes more asleep, as the day progresses. Of course Southend is less suitable for this, because of the lack of convenient licensed premises, so we often end up back in London at Look Mum No Hands or similar.

I'll take that as a compliment

The Claud looks like this:

Hope this helps.
