If any northies fancy it, Stix and I are riding to Brighton tomorrow. Early start - 8am from Clapham. But if weather holds should be a nice ride. It's a recce for the ladies ride in a couple of weeks so we're learning the route.

Vicky (Stix) and I are both still up for the recce tomorrow.
We are sticking to the plan of setting off at 8am from Clapham Common bandstand.
Vicky and I live north London. If anyone else wants to join us for the ride down to Clapham we'll be meeting at Archway tower for 7am.

Maybe I should start a list so we know who expect at Clapham?

Never been to Brighton. Where and when on Saturday?

Good to meet you last night. I think Clefty will confirm details of the recce ride, but approx 8am start from Clapham I think.

Thanks for a lovely ride everyone - really enjoyed my first outing with the TNRC. (Except maybe those last 6 miles of pain. At one point I did have to ask Ved - "are we nearly there yet?")

Looking forward to another one soon.

Right Sarah, I may be joining the dark side for the night but at least Im not trying to recrute inocent nothies. Shame on you Sarah. Shame on you.

To be fair, he didn't exactly take much recruiting. I mean, it wasn't even a challenge.

So tempted to nip home, grab my fixie skidder and join you guys on the TNRC.

Do it Simon! Will be fun - a nice leisurely ride is promised. And if rain holds off, maybe even a ride back to Highgate.

PS - Gav is getting train from Tott Hale which may save you time if going home to swap bike first.

PGM and I are breaking away and going on the TNRC - shock!
Someone give Andy grief.

what does 'clara's untouched pouch' refer to?

You dropped your tobacco pouch riding back to Hackney after the Halfords race at Canary Wharf, but then magically found it again - untouched - lying in the road on the way home.

Swivel crisp refers to your prawn cracker munching portrait at afore-mentioned race (I think)

Going to RATM's free gig on Sunday, innit

I would just like to say that, should tramp beers be on the agenda tonight, I have cleverly brought my frisbee with me (sorry, flying disc).
Good action!

I agree - first time I rode to Brighton we ended up on the dual carriageway round Gatwick and it was horrible!
Last time I went via Reigate and it was so much more pleasant.
The pub at the top of TH is a good stopping point - lots of benches outdoors if it's a nice day.

Stix and I are doing a recce ride on 12th June if anyone wants to tag along?

Yep, I'm tagging along on the recce too, as I can't make the real ride.

Is that a naughty cigarette he's holding? Tsk. Gentleman indeed.

Sunday laps of RP (Richmond) followed by watching some Tarck and sitting in the sun.

In.

Good plan. Nicely offsets the guilt of sitting lazily by the track afterwards.

I think JD was practising last night - Mobbs and I (well, me really) could barely keep up on Holloway Road.

BTW, Simon, where are your pics from last night? You did know how to work the camera, didn't you?

;)

Looks like he made it:

5 and a bit hours by the look of things - well done BadMatt, rather you than me.

AMAZING achievement, well done Matt.

But why so many clothes? Are you in disguise?

Sitting in the park at lunchtime has made me all itchy and sneezy.
Looking forward to the non allergic concrete of Canary Wharf.

See you all at LMNH, 6.14 ish.

Awesome. Such a butiful place. We hired some shopper bikes and did some miles out in the country side.

True fact:

Overtaken by so-called roadies again...

I went for a run at lunchtime with a couple of people from my office. We did 6K in a shade over half an hour (I dont know what that means, we got overtaken by a girl at one point so it must be slow).

Running is rubbish. Why do people bother.

Oh - how did Matt do in the marathon? Dont think you'd get me running 26 miles - Well done Matt (if you made it).

Running IS rubbish in the midday heat, and in the centre of town. But give it another go early morning over the heath and it'll be much more enjoyable. Plus varying your exercise is good training, innit.

Having said that, can't believe Matt ran a marathon in this heat. I hope it wasn't 28 degrees in Scotland too.

Never go to sporting events in a pub with Andy. Especially if there is a team playing that he supports. I'm still in counselling to deal with the Spurs, Pompy game...

I learned this several years ago, Noel. I can't be in the same building as him for sporting events now. The rage and sense of injustice radiates for miles.

Back in the office after 3 course lunch, champagne and wine. How can one be expected to work after that?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Is she throwing blurred gang signs?

She is well street, innit!

(Don't think she gets it from you Simon) ;)

Assuming I'm let out early today, can be there pretty much any time from 5/5.30 onwards.

Green Man? But -

Must be sensible, though, as PGM and I are riding to Guildford tomorrow morning

Oh, okay, I like cider

Yes to NOT. Where?

Have allegedly been promised the afternoon off following a boozy leaving lunch for one of my team...

Must be sensible, though, as PGM and I are riding to Guildford tomorrow morning - if anybody fancies it (circa 40/45 miles I think)

If it was a meat one, you'd have an abundance of energy now ;-)

I don't believe it; Andrew had the meat sweats last night and it wasn't a pretty sight.
