On the rare occasion I stop by, an event is planned!!! I’m happy to swing by as it’s been far too long.

Interesting times ahead for travellers to the US. My return trips to New Orleans and New York now moved way down my list of places to travel to. I wonder if any other countries will take this route also?

Sorry to have missed this but, jetlag held me. @Digger, where is that mural please and thanks!

Aldi selling bike lights: one pack; front and rear for £14.99 and two different rear lights both at £2.99 each, I think. One of the rear lights can be clipped to rucksack, so says the blurb. All rechargeable.

Love this.

I have one. I still have to actually lift it cos 4'11 means everything drags on the floor!

I have the dynamic and I use Carradice bags but with the bagman quick release. I'm quite short, so the gap between saddle and rear wheel isn't a large one, so the bagman helps.

You were never a nodder.

Waves to Hoefla I lurk rather than post these days.

@Howard - Too many are fixed on "must get in front" however they can and others don't think about others when they left hook. As per usual, a few take exception to me passing them, even though I'm slow af and couldn't race anyone even with a 30 minute lead rolls eyes.

I look forward to dwindling numbers of cyclists during the coming winter. Especially those with qualifications in undertaking and close passes.

Take a look at Paramo jackets. Pricey as is Rapha, but a good investment - in my opinion, anyway.

Had a lie-in so no run this morning. News on the radio a few mins ago confirmed pollen levels at 10 year high. Very early run tomorrow then.

Thanks for that. I'll see if I can get out of bed that early tomorrow and see what happens.

The smarties is not a bad idea either. Could use it as a reward for that early start.

Has anyone on here been so affected by the pollen/pollution that they've had to stop running outdoors, for a while? I'm a hayfever sufferer and take meds much of the year. My run on grass last Tuesday didn't end well and trying again last Sunday wasn't much better, so no running since. Only coughing up a small piece of my lung today, so progress.

I'm not a gym member, as was using running/cycling + stretches for fitness/weight loss. I may have to revisit that option and review a mask for the commute.

Tooting and Clapham Commons any good? Both have Park Runs and they never close.

........ for the time being.

Glad I made this ride. Thanks for the additional info en route Digger. A great start to the day.

Dear Ride Leader, I may have hit the snooze button one too many times. I will be about 15 minutes late. Apols.

I doubt we've ever met, but would Balham be of any use? My neighbour can confirm my sanity and I have a bike-filled spare room.

Received as intended here. Made me chuckle in places too.

In.

I'd be interested but will be overseas the first 2 weeks in December.

Will keep an eye out for the date.

This since September. Unfortunately my mass is very little so I've taken the 'petty' line occasionally and stay closer to the bus when overtaking or deliberately wobbling closer to the edge of the pavement when arriving at or leaving the lights.

Working on acquiring a sense of calm, but it's taking it's time getting here.

Currently hungover and tired, but I'll see you in the morning.

Would love to see those kids (kids in general) discover the joy of a long distance night ride.
