Anyone at Canopy tonight?

This Bike tag game is great. Thanks for keeping me entertained.

Attendees so far tonight: Theory, me and Compass beers newbie, Jambon.
Props to SuperJoe who spotted us across the street.

I've read the thread and am on my way.From Brentford.

This thread tldr. I should head for the Ivy House tonight, yes?

A late response from me. Thanks all for a being such good company on the ride. I really enjoyed it; meeting the justified ancients of LFGSS, new folks and making most of the opportunites to 'raccont' throughout. The pics remind me of the response from the dog walkers in Gunnersbury Park who saw Laner on Brompton in lumberjack shirt and exclaimed 'Cute!'

I had a 'top notch' time on Monday. Thanks All. And I hope Dan the Marathon Man got back without seizing up.
^ Shame not to have seen you Matt.
^^ Jonny I owe you for that Di Canio or whatever it was called.
^^^^ I didn't feel there was any excess of Girlchat, Hats, for me it was like listening to In Our Time with Melvin Bragg Radio 4: I can follow much of what's being said, believing it to be plausibly based, but could never predict the conclusions and will probably never encounter the subject arising again in my small, proscribed world of male singleton bike riding. ;-)

I've just seen that registration for the Brompton World Championship opens today:
http://bwc.brompton.co.uk/bwc-2013/register/

Takes place 27th/ 28th July.
It's at Goodwood racing circuit. I Hope it's as good (and sunny!) as Blenheim was last year.

I like visual link to the previous tag in that the concrete screen looks like a cat's eye.

Ach, None the wiser.

Possible reasons why this tree is 'our last one in London' ?

I really like this tree-tag, Skully and the focus on a non-building. I've spent an enjoyable half hour researching trees in London; I think I know the species, but I've no idea where this specimen is located..

Ludd's clue doesn't take me any closer:becuase his boating reference throws no light for me on what is anyway clearly a waterside spot. Which waterside? Quaggy, Lee, Wandle, Beverley Brook, or other?

Hi Rohan. Hope you get out today. I'm off work tomorrow so if you fancy a Wimbledon loop with a Putney pit food stop then anytime from late morning...

I. ..but this is apparently one of the last Dutch Elm trees in LB Ealing:

http://www.ealing.gov.uk/info/200878/parks_in_ealing/651/acton_park...

call me a pedant, but the trees which died throughout the 1970s weren't Dutch elms but simply elms: the adjective Dutch related to the supposed origin of the disease. I'll be writing a stiff letter to LB of Ealing's tree officer seeking correction of this egregious nomenclature error on the Acton Central Park web page.

Dutch elm disease is coming back apparently but Ash wilt and to a lesser extent conker canker have stolen the limelight. Dutch elm affects trees aged 30 years or older, apparently.

At this exciting juncture, I just thought I'd draw attention to today's date which marks three years since MinhDinh paused at the junction of Dalston Lane and Graham Road...
Happy Third Birthday BTOB!.

Word of advice to potential strippers: don't bother with Fi:zick WingFlex saddles. As 31Trum may also remember from his weight reducing assault on my mount, the 'flex' is achieved by tines which by time of arrival in Brighton claw their independant existence most insistently into your muscle memory.

The Ride London promo team have been kind enough to post me comiserations on failing in the ballot, together with a glossy mag inducing me to register for a charity place and buy varios bike products.
I might choose to catch up on the article concerning inner tube replacement as 'toilet reading'.

Do I Brain Stew's visual clues explain that protusion on the PC's head ?
Anyway I'm no closer to pinpointing the tag.
Perhaps I shouldn't occupy more page space with my inconclusions.

I remember seeing the aftemath of this in 2011.

My own 'it fell from a blue sky' incident was some years ago on Seymor St when I was thwacked on the shoulder by a falling package which turned out to be a pigeon now laying upside-down with claws groping as though for a foothold, yet motionless; its milky-eye staring recriminatingly at me.

I decided it must have died in its roost earlier and just toppled as I walked by.

Oh Hats! I was heading home fine until I hit the ice fields of Clapham Park, where a camber freaked me. So I was walking when I slipped sideways into a parked Range Rover and slid down an incline on my bum.

Enjoyed myself tonight, and our 'frank and open discussion about next week's South's venue. Also looking forward to South's anniversary-Grand-Slam-in-an Easter Monday on 1st April. Mango Landing should perhaps also be on the list?

Anyway, see you next week at the Rosendale:-)

Thanks for the daytime pic. Malandro., also Oat44 for the background info.

I've been enjoying BToB greatly from afar over the last month. Still as entertaing as ever. Hoping to get a chance to set up a snow related tag soon.

Oh it was a good 'un last night !

Good call on the Pizza 2 Go, hoefla. (I owe you mega-meat money). Shouldn't really have gone to the DC though:-)

Had a little jig with the gyrating Hatbeard whilst Jimbilly looked on imperiously from his barstool. When it came to leaving I thought I was going to be 'guiding' Ciq home only to find he'd whisked off double quick. Pushed through rain to Putney, dropped my keys unlocking the front door and fell asleep against it before even I'd bent down to pick them up.

Glad I didn't have your punctures and walkies, Mrs Socks.

Santa's little belper has delivered me some waterproof footwear which I might accessorise with a fetching snorkel to join you tomorrow.

Still at work. no idea when I can leave.
I'll be in late, like a reprobate at heaven's gate.

Sorry to hear that Harriet,

The Saturday night incident was surely only about getting the chance to temporarily detain you in your tinselly loveliness. Get well soon.
