Nice ride out to Garston this morning guys - rainfall radar looks alright for you today, maybe a brief shower or two. Made it to my desk with aaaages to spare (10mins).

Rode back via the A41 - nice and quick, but then got snarled up in the traffic jam that is Hampstead at 9am. There really is nothing like 5 hours restless sleep and 40-odd miles to start the day

Looks like you'll have a nice 15-20mph tailwind all the way there. You'll be glad for that tomorrow no doubt.

No 'doing a CB', y'hear? :p

120 miles on 5 hours sleep is not a good thing (nor is 70 to Brighton!). So long as you have the first day all planned out you're good. Get to bed!

Isn't it past your bedtime?

I had The Fear yesterday when I went to unlock the bike for a quick lunchtime lap of the park and it wasn't there.

Then I remembered I'd locked it up on the stand around the corner.

Your story beats mine though. Well done! (and commiserations, of course).

Good luck guys. Hope the weather holds out.

Pack some lube - if your chain runs dry it becomes quite heavy going.

Speaking of portable disc saws...

My first Souths. Tibbs was right - the burger was worth the trip.

Made it back to Stoke Newington in under half an hour too, which was alright. The roads are quick this time of night.

I thought it was the other way around - hence George Michael getting caught out in the US by a plain-clothes officer who propositioned him, which would not happen (legally) here.

Yep, looks like I'm wrong.

Although it seems like it's not just black and white (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrapment). Anyway, I haven't had my bike stolen (yet) and nor have my friends so I'll let this thread return to being on topic.

With that bike locked on just the seatpost, it's likely to be called an entrapment.

No, it's called a weak locking strategy (or just plain stupid, depending on where you stand) and the thief is still a thief.

Send the pictures to the police - the thieving scrotes are usually "known to the police" as they put it in the news.

Entrapment wouldn't be the right word anyway - my partially-informed mind has entrapment down as being when someone from law enforcement sets up a sting in order to catch criminals. This is not allowed in the US, but is here (probably with a whole crapton of provisos).

I'm still not hungry

You work for a porn website?

It was 4 bits of meat I'll have you know, with some fries and 'slaw, followed by a profiterole and toffee sauce covered cheesecake and half a brownie with ice cream

Edit: and a couple of beers

Hoping it doesn't hit during my 2h train journey tonight.

I think I'm still digesting

Not sure about that. I can tell you what I'm not, though

hungry

I owe the forum 1%, since that's what Amex will pay me in cashback next year

Tasty burps this morning

bananamanbikeanator left me for dead at some lights. Feeling nicely sated.
Cheers for calling this in whoever it was. Put plenty of faces to names tonight.
Got back a couple of mins after my flatmate. Was hoping to catch him. Still, avg 14.5 mph wasn't too bad

Heading there in a couple of minutes. If you don't know who I am, I'll be wearing a black t-shirt with a lizard made of Barcelona on it although lfgss folk aren't usually a tough lot to spot.
