Veteran car run/chase Sunday November 7 2010

[User10571]

ok - the speed business. Sorry, but I'd like some idea. I will be fine (I've done it before on a hybrid) but my companion might find it a bit tough.

A word in support of that of Ianrauk.
I don't think SF will find this ride a struggle.

i'm certainly interested in this. it will depend how i feel after my lil off from yesterday, definitely feeling it today.

Martin - Paul will be on a Blue Cannondale flat bar
Paul - Martin will be the tall fella on a filthy Red Giant road bike.

Why does my hard working, reliable, quick bike come in for so much abuse on this forum???

Weathers looking good for Sunday!!

still haven't made my mind up, concerned about what time i'll be getting home?

Last time I got to Brighton at 1pm. Had fish & chips and a beer on the beach before getting the train back and was back home by 4pm

i might join if it's not too wet. does the group wait if someone has mechanical or other need to stop? thinking which bike to ride.

Forecast is not too wet.
Like, very little wet.
It is not a race, if you suffer a mechanical, there's a very good chance that others will stop to assist.
Have no fear.

I'll be at the Dripping Tap by 7.30am tomorrow.
Ian - I've pm'ed you my mobile number in case of a change of plan.
Cheers

we'll probably stop at Planet Sweet. I've invited Susie to the SW London DA AGM and she's really, really, really, really, really excited about it - so we'll be heading back up Lonesome Land and then up Pebblecombe to Walton-on-the-Hill.

May see you somewhere south of Crawley. Overweight wheezing asthmatic riding an overgeared fixed that's too small for him , or a disc braked green tourer, or maybe, just maybe, the craziness that is a Strida Mk3.2a.5. Do wave as you sweep past in any case.

Shut up Greg! (you will not read this until later as you and several others, no doubt, will be trying to 'do a Whitstable' and empty barrels of beer before the big kick-off at Cabbage Patch Central. <burp>)

Just do it!

Weather looking good - dry if a bit nippy and with lots of cloud cover..

Please check your tyres for inlaid debris - don't want to stop more than we have to.

Hopeful of a good turn out for this - in addition to Tom's ride with the youngsters/slower folks, the "main" ride now has pick-ups in

Greenwich
Forest Hill
Bromley
Newington (7am Lobster Pot restaurant in Newington Butts - ask for Bill)
all meeting at East Croydon before the dash south with the cars.

If anyone brings a camera it would be nice to see any pics/have an online link to them - my second camera has died on rides.

Sorry to hear that gaz. You recovering from your Fall, me in the Autumn of my riding life - what's going on?
Next up - A Winter of discontent - linking nicely to Richard III, and Marin's thread in Politics & Strife...
