Too much OP bashing?

[Pale Rider]

More than 50 likes for my OP, ten pages of (mostly) thoughtful replies, and the makings of a new night ride.

It was a good thread, as threads go.

I've only ever done that once and it was quite involved what with meeting place, how long to get to start and so on.

Usually I just thing I'll go to such and such and pedal off - which doesn't require planning at all

Thinking is planning.

Yeah. Get bike and ride it in the same direction as other cyclists from the same starting point along the same route to the same destination with the same starting time on the same.

Is that too complex for you?

And beer.

 

[vernon]

And beer.

And pies.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

And pies.

And more beer.

Possibly!

Isn't it your birthday about now? I've just been on a bike ride to celebrate. Didn't bother letting you know as we all know there's no danger of you actually showing up. Happy birthday anyway, you preposterous old soak.

Did any of his imaginary friends turn up?

Not as far as I could tell. They didn't get the beers in, either.

 

[theclaud]

Great, a thread bashing @rich p, can I join in?

Bashing? I'll have you know I am absurdly fond of the ludicrous old sponge.

 

[mybike]

Step one.

Get a bike.....

Will a BSO do?

Not sure I get the point of

ride it in the same direction as other cyclists from the same starting point along the same route to the same destination with the same

Seems to prevent "what's that over there, lets go and look".

And

"it's started raining, let's go home"

Imaginary MacB was there?

Gravesend, home of the finest Georgian street yet to be seen on a FNRTTC. (© @dellzeqq) Mind you someone, can't recall who, perhaps Justin(e) on YACF corrected him, saying it was either too early or too late, I can't remember which, to be Georgian. He now lives in Australia, presumably on a witness protection programme.

in my defence I did make it clear that it was William IV. But 'Georgian' can, properly, be extended through to some of the later works of Cockerell

One wears a hoody up the other a baseball cap the wrong way round and at a jaunty angle.

And both look like nobs!
