@ Charoltte. You cannot expect a Colnago rider to carry his own pump, as otherwise he would have to let his chauffeur go...

Phew, thank God his wife did not turn round. They must have been REALLY quiet!

if anyone wants to borrow a bike bag, located Saaf, let me know. PM is best over the weekend.

Good luck the London massive; give 'em hell.

Well said Corney. Just back from a gorgeous ride into London, meeting went well, no demos or broken glass, met JimBilly in Victoria (thank you, young man, you are a total gent) and the sun is still shining.

Shut down the computers and get out there! Life is far, far too short to be misssing the moment.

Welcome back OOL; we really have missed you, and great to see that your social skills are as well honed as ever.

You can only buy one if you have a numbered bank account in a tax haven. Mr. Brown will be raising the whole issue at the G20 summit.

Scott, what a superb idea. I maybe tied up for the actual ride on Saturday (would be free for Good Friday) but happy to donate a few quid.

We should invite Banshee Lady to Saaf drinks, and she can complete with Corney at shouting at the football on the telly.

My money is on the Main Man......

if it is fatties against skinnies, do we get two skinnies for each fatty? Seems only fair...

Very elegantly put, Mooks.

I'm an accountant, and I own 2 Colnagos. I regard myself fortunate to have the resources to own and enjoy them, but would not apologise for the fact.

If expensive bikes is what it takes to get people out of their Range Rovers, Porsches, and other fancy cars, and to experience what it is like to be a cyclist in London (road rage mini cabs, tipper lorries, mobile phone using black cabs, potholes) surely their bike time will make them more considerate and connected drivers when they get back in their motors, and thus make the hard core cyclists lives that little bit easier?

Looks like I may get a pass to attend. Are the Saaf London massive riding up on masse? Seems almost treasonable not to gather at the Coach and Horses before joining the the rest of the gang?

Nice work Josh. If you have two mediums, in any two colours, I would be delighted to buy them off you. Can you PM me your bank details, and I can transfer the money?

All plus points are well made and valid.

However, most financial directors are nervous about the potential fall out from the scheme, if they have to let people go. Unlike child care vouchers, this is a contingent liability, that does not just disappear if the individual leaves employment. The loan, under most schemes, will be repayable in full, and I think this is why many HR departments will point out the negative impact of taking most of a leaving employees final salary payment.

There is also the "what if" questions if the bike gets stolen from work, or elsewhere, and who is responsible for any resulting loss. There is an argument that as the bike is owned by the company, until it is bought by the employee, they are responsible for any loss that may arise.

You could ask the opinion of the One who knows everything about langsters, but I understand he has been sent to the headmasters study, due to some recent internet naughtyness.

21st is spot on with me. If it is a tenth as good as the Tweed Run, it will be an absolute hoot!

Really sorry to hear about the trauma. Flaming is a regular pastime on the forum, but I suspect not for those who have gone through that.

Good luck iwth the reovery, and I am sure some of the more knowledgeable members will step up and give some informed advice.

Will the Moser take snow chains?

.. Oh and Mr. Hoops, do you want a copy of the Coach and Horses picture of your intrepid Granddad in the WWI flying googles?

He loves us really... its just hard to express emotions sometimes.

@T.O. sorry for the delay, mental busy at work with 31 Jan deadline.

I am awaiting delivery of a spare second hand, battered turbo, that you are more than willing to borrow.

PM me a mobile and I will give you a call (have millions of spare minutes I can use up.)

Yep, and lots of sessions with Crystal Palace Tri are open to potential newbies who are potential members, including coached swims Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, run sessions around Crystal Palace Wednesday and most Saturdays, and bike rides Sunday, and some Saturdays.

Nothing Mondays, but they dare not put on something that will clash with saaaf drinks.

Say Bernie sent you if you want a barrage of abuse before they even know you!

Also, I will be down Tooting Bec lido in a few weeks time, if anyone wants to get into wet suit open (well, nearly) water swimming.

Go Hillbilly, be the pathfinder as ever. Booked up for the next couple of weekends but would be great to get out with you fine crew of TT athletes.

@Scully, like all superb events that just "seemed" to organise themselves, there was a s**t load of work put in by a dedicated few both beforehand, and on the day.

I cannot remember who said it but it reminds me of the following

"I find that after five rehearsals, I get the right level of spontinaety"

Well worth gathering information from the organisers, assuming they are willing to share their collective wisdom.

@spag. That is not what you said to my Moser when you tried to entice her away from me at the end of the Tweed Run, you smooth talking rascal..
