I'm in on it, ditto dommy's error and intention.

So I managed to miss the CSG set off due to an innate inability to navigate through South London

Ahh no! What time did you roll by? We waited quite a while before we headed off, the same at West Wickham. A shame.
I saw the discarded bib shorts up Chalk Pit too, I guess when you've jettisoned everything else already and are finding it really hard going, there's only one piece of ballast left to lose...

still, the narrow lanes/cars combo adds a certain frisson at 30mph.

"AUDIIII!" hmm.

Pascalo, it was brutal compared to the usual. Equally knackering over half the distance sort of thing.
Scarlett, I'd forgotten about that. as we approached it a bird flew off so I thought we'd be ok, but it just wouldn't budge. Was worried the pack would end up mincing it...

Haha the Titsey speed spike says 55. Worrying, all things considered. Good fun though.

(In Garmin Training Centre, with smoothing turned off, the spike is 139mph)
(I think the erroneous figure comes from the signal lost with dense tree cover at the top of the hill, though I don't understand why the cadence/speed sensor doesn't override the unit when that occurs)

I think the 70-odd must be due to a GPS error, I'm pretty sure I topped out just shy of 50 going down Titsey (when I dared take my eyes off the road it was reading 49.2mph)

For someone being put through so much suffering, damo was impressively cheery. Well done for getting through it all fixed.
Minimal miles, maximum metres, a ludicrous amount of up for such a short ride (but I loved every minute of it), excellent work Scarlett.

For tika, here's the route/record from today.

Wet road in brockley, dry at cp. My waterproof overshoes are unnecessary and i am now early, forgotten how close it was.

just this second woken up. running late, still coming. should just make csg 9:15.

Largest SSTC in a while. Impressive.

Now I just have to work out what I want...

haha tempting tempting. I really need to get some shopping in tonight because I won't feel like it tomorrow, I'll do that then head over. Want anything?

also @bmmf, the link you pasted regarding location gives an identical outcome to sam's (unless I'm being dense). Intentional?

Ah but you see now I've saved four quid, and can thus treat myself to a chippy dinner.
I think. I may well have to get someone to even it all up, in which case I'll be down in the long run. Doesn't feel like I've missed anything, but I can't see most of it. Will need external opinion tomorrow.

OT but I'm about to try and give myself a haircut without a mirror. Only clippers, so not a massive margin for error, but still, you'll know it's gone horribly wrong when I turn up wearing a cap tomorrow. Hrumph.

Done. Plastic bontrager one, with bolts, attaced to bottle attached to bottle cage attached to frame. won't be forgetting that tomorrow morning.

@marcom no power rangering this Thursday, it's my work leaving do and I don't know what state I'll be in by the end of it. Probably pub state, actually.
@damo I'll see if I can dig one out. You got bolts etc, right, just need the cage?

Got confused as to who is where, I won't be in Sidcup, definitely riding out from Nunhead.
Meeting at CSG 9ish then?

In no state to flick back and read everything; I hvae set my alarm for seven on the promise of a northern ride from you lot. I don't know where it starts or when, but I'll head to the flask, check the thread and see what happens. If someone could post the details sometime between now and then I'd really appreciate it, otherwise I'll do a morning session round hte park and head home (lame).

Desptie leaving about two and a half hours ago, I've only just got home. Not in too fit a state. LMNH is a nice place, even when the polo lot are everywhere. Cheers joni for the drink, hopefully I'll be back there soon.

I have a friend who paid too much for one of the first wave Foffa bikes - she's had patchy service since and the bike has pretty much given up the ghost, most times we coincide I get a new catalogue of things that aren't right. So, seeing as it's been dredged, I'll add a -1 to the thread tally.

I feel giddy. with excitement.

I am done here. Rolling on out, eta 10 mins. Anyone there already?

@d.generate awesome, 6ish is about right for me
@wicksie most not awesome. dangerous indeed.
