Tonight sounds fun, Norths on tour once more, alas, I am continuing my efforts to HTFU and hence am heading up into the Chilterns for a bit of Tuesday Night Ride Club action.

Depending on the time we get back I might swing by the pizza place and say hello.

List fixage

Think the Ferrari was a Dino.

Twas indeed a Dino (246 GT), IMHO the best looking car ever, what a treat it must be to be out in that car on a morning like we had.

probably not booze just before the ride - more like coffee to stay awake!

pack-a-mac FTW

I was meant to be doing the Kenwood picnic concert (Ray Davies from the Kinks) before setting off to HPC but the rain has put a downer on that - cant realy take my baby daughter in the rain. If anyone wants 4 tickets at a last minute discount, let me know.

Otherwise see you all at HPC (or somewhere earlier for a drink)

Ian, you riding fixed?

Arvy, seeing as you are the norths crusader for eloquence and good English, I have tried to think of a better way of putting this; alas I cannt. HTFU and come to Brighton.

Norths on tour to Brighton FTW

Could be tempted to do this ride, not sure if I would be overdoing it before Dunwich, with midnight to Brighton tomorrow.
Hmmmm.......... decisions.

Will pop in for a swift one from about 5.45.

Cant make West's tomorrow, but up for a swift central one before you head off.

Noel, did you want a 90mm quill stem?

will be there in about 15 mins

Almost - I might set of in a minute. Is anyone going to be there? I always end up doing laps until others arrive, and a bottle of Vino over lunch might put a stop to that!

See you all shortly.........

All done.

I need my fork milled down from 27mm to the smaller campag size to fit a crown race. As I am generally too impatient to book my bike into a shop (they all seem to be booked up all week), does anyone have the tool to do this?

Any pintage going on between the west end and ally pally in the next hour?

Quick beer anywhere tonight chaps?

could maybe sneak a very quick one in on the way home if in archway, highate crouch end etc if anyone is going to about.

the following good chaps are riding the route of the "Vintage Jersey" ride. without vintage jerseys:
Bad Matt +1, Alb, Spins, me, and a couple of non-north crew.

If anyone else fancies it, you now know where to be.

more dunwich training that I am missing out on, doh.

I am however going to be living the high life for the weekend at a great big manor house in Dorset that one of our friends has hired for her 30th birthday. The misses has however banned me from taking the bikes with. :(

Very smart, I dig the matching gloves!

Pictures speak a thousand words! :)

Alb - have pm'd you about your famous lights, catch you later

Simon

Matt - how is the new bike?

I need a short-ish stem to fit some 26mm bars. Must be in tip top cond. as its for the Sunday best wheels.

Otherwise its off to hubjub!

getting thirsty already, anyone heading up earlyish today?
