Cor! A day without CycleChat is like a lifetime without er.....um...err "England are in danger of losing the cricket!"
What's all the fancy talk Davy - you turned posh or summat?
One is officially available. Now.
Meet at Tescos? You chav.
It is twenty minutes to Staines - including your pit stops Davy - let's make that 52 mins
- theoretically we should be meeting (red, self and the pi$$meister) at 08:30 - am I correct? Meet on the Barclays Bank side - not the kebab van side.Davy - you aree the leader. Make sure you know which way we need to go in order to arrive at Fleet and not keep Peter waiting. I didn't do any preparation for this ride and will be on the Rudge-Whitworth.

All fettling finished, gears re-indexed after a week of new cable, chain cleaned and lubed. Bag to pack in the morning on a six o'clock start!
Sleep well all and see ya in the morning!

Yes, have a brilliant ride y'all, and I hope you take lots of photos.
How many of you will have done a century by the end? I reckon it must be at least half a dozen!

You too Auntie H! Wierd! I was 'talking' to you last thing before bedtime - and now first thing in the morning...
Maybe I'll have to pop home and get the van to load up all the celebrating centurions - too tanked up to ride another yard...

Morning all.
The first group should be on their way now, although I see no early night for CoG or Tdr1nka, I hope they don't slow us down
Not that I can talk after I ended up watching the cricket.
All of the London lot should be on for the ton. It's only the Fleet crew who are missing out, and they are probably still tucked up in bed.

well I'm home, showered, changed and rehydrated, actually feeling quite good. Great to meet all the folks, very well organised, and a really good route, by Peter. No idea how those guys are doing London, both ways, on top of this. I completed just over 51 miles and my comp said 13.32mph average. Not bad for me, but obviously quite a social pace for some/all of the rest. I even reached a new record top speed of 35.2mph which, with my highly timid descending, was quite scary for me!!!
Thanks again to all and, for the record, if we do this ride again my wife would be happy for our place to be a cake stop for the lot returning to London...cheers....Al

...in which case I will put my road shoes back on and come right back! (All the others are on the road or on the floor - in the pub by the riverside in Staines!
I only did 148.6km but there were several maiden mile centurions today...well done them!
Male porn galore for all the women to drool ov An all male photocall took place and it will be a toss up whether to put it direct into 'Dishy Men' or include it with the general tone of derogatory comments that I can muster. <millisecond thought> Hmmm - the latter!
Thanks to Peter for setting up a fun ride through some posh bits of the countryside - and remember the CycleChat motto "milus munchimus, cakesta alecasa"
An illustrated report will follow after a long dog walk. (A sausage dog? No) my third beer, and maybe a shower - although I may save that for next week.
Cheers all!

Back now. Thanks with knobs on to Peter for organising everything.
Compared to most, my paltry 136km for the day makes me feel inadequate, nay, under-endowed with the 'right stuff'. In my defence, the rising afternoon breeze that blew you lot home with barely the need to pedal was in my face like a pub nutter, and I still had a few 1 in 10s left to negotiate. You can keep your junk miles gentlemen, I claim a moral century.
With that sun out, is anyone else suffering from radiation sickness?
