My ticket is now for sale in the classifieds section: http://www.lfgss.com/thread65447.html

This is an awesome ride.

Someone buy this and ride it. This is the best organised and friendliest mass bike ride you will do.

I develop all my B&W at home and scan it on an Epson V500, I think the results are good enough for the web, and even printing up to say 10x8 from 35mm is really quite good.

I used to spend hours tweaking each scan, but now I just accept that the auto setting is better at it than me for most photos. If they are really dark or really light, then I have to get involved with the histogram.

I see you Simon... thirsty?

Must have just missed this post. I managed a swift couple in Primrose Hill (unofficial NoT).

Does anyone want to do a really early ride tomorrow? Back before 9.30.

I was thinking of just heading north for an hour, then turning around and coming back.

I dont get this, what is so amazing about these pictures?

who was it that asked me on Tuesday if LMNH were doing Giro caps? They've just arrived

In - my 2010 tour cap is getting ratty.

Lovely night for Norths tonight, but I will not be in attendance.

I think I might cook for Mrs Green instead.

is yours oria tubing?

No, mine is Columbus Aelle. Stiff, but not that light.

Tis indeed a bit like mine (except I dont have the orginal Coppi fork, boo. But I do have chrome stays, yay).

Mine has been my proper road bike for about 2 years, Ive done thousands of miles on it and it goes really well. I built mine up from an NOS frame and it cost me loads more than £425, so it looks like a reasonable deal.

Here is my one:

I thought BMMF was the only person whoe does training laps on Regents Park with a Brompton, but whilst out for a run at lunchtime today, I spotted a chap on the inner circle hooning along with an odd Graham Obree Old Faithfull kind of style on an m-type with the bars rotated flat towards him.

Classic! - takes 'Death Bike' to a new dimension.

Simon and I had a v quiet post Arvy/ Ilyes Norths experience - a pint followed by a pizza served in a quiet and efficient fashion - free cheese & oils - car free ride home!

Happy birthday Owen.

Freezing journey on the way home though.

I had a merino long sleeve base layer, merino long sleeve jersey and Rapharah soft shell. Still shivered all the way home!

Change of plan. I might need to pop home before going to the pub.

Plan unchanged.

Should be at the pub before 6.30.

Sounds like a plan.

Change of plan. I might need to pop home before going to the pub.

Contraversial - but I'm thinking a beer or three with Mr Reed and then up the hill to the mountaintop eyrie before I get too refreshed to ride home with any safety - gets dark at 7.50pm tonight - so Flask by 8?

Sounds like a plan.

Anyone been out there in the last few days? These strong winds are putting me off. Must be pretty bad out there.

I was there on Saturday morning. Yes it's windy, but it's a circle, so whatever it costs you on one side, you get back on the other.

Tom, Sorry to hear about the off. Glad to hear you are still alive.

It was fun to take the new bike for a spin. I did a couple of laps, then stopped to tweak the saddle height, then jumped on the back again for another lap before deciding to stick at Bmmfrompton pace for a couple laps. Scarlett makes that thing go unaturally fast.

The new bike needs a few more tweaks but so far I am happy with the new toy.

would definitely be next week! want to try the new bike this time.

is that the nanolight or the team pro carbon whatever? if the latter, I'm curious to see how it compares to my giant because the frames look super similar.

it is a "Nanolight High Modulus". That is a silly name.

I bought it for the little flowers on the frame, but apperntly it is quite light as well.

It's on:

A large box has just been delivered to my office.

There may be a new plastic bike in it.

If the above is true. I might be joining you all this evening.

I am busting the new Look ce soir - may do a celebratory lap or two of Swains pre pintage.

It's true. sHe's got the Look....

From reserves list to a place on the ride to a bail. Fail.

It will just be too late a night for me with work/wife/small child commitments. I know I will be gutted I didn't go.
