Just seen this thread after seeing FB. Very sad news, condolences to his family and friends.
I used to see Dwayne every few days doing my commute to or from work, and off course at wests.

RIP Dwayne.

That cafe is awesome. Jamaican Patties and Ginger Beer just what you need. Hopefully it won't be as wet as last year.

I just paid up for the London Sightseer on sunday. Anyone else doing it?

My top three picks for the day.

1. Ruby Velvet - Salted Caramel
   
2. Gelupo - Riccota, Chocolate and Black Pepper
   
3. La Gelateria - Banana Sorbet
   
   
   
   

Gelupo had the best shop decor, followed by 3Bis.

Honourable Mentions : Udderlicious's Nutella flavour was very good, need to go back and try out a few more flavours. Oddono's is one of my locals, their Pistachio flavour is very good - because its not new I did not rank it. Marine Ices I have been to a few times, plus Rum and Raisin is one of my favs, but something was missing. For pure novelty ChinChinLabs needs a mention too.

A lovely day out riding around London visiting gelateries with good company.

Here are some pics, still doing my brevet card.

All photos on flickr

I know some of the photos from RubyVelvet need fixing, processing the RAW versions to hopefully rescue those shots.

Lets see which jersey shows up first then. ;-)

Just seen road.cc is also setting up a cycle club.

@Howard - nice brevet card.

Deja vu - I knew I commented on it last night, this 2-thread business is really getting confusing. mod please close this thread!

Come on the ice cream ride wearing it!

@Howard Awesome brevet card.

^^ I want some Viennetta now.

Just a heads up - Metro: Last Light is a fiver on steam.

Its possible the day I chose was a couple of days after the schools closed so they might have been sold out. That is good to know might go do that route in September.

@skinny - Yes, with other routes and operators I have been able to get a seat. I was talking specifically about Brittany Ferries with their route from Portsmouth to St Malo.

@mule - True - in this instance only two of us were going out, if there had been 3 or more then it would not have been an issue.

@Hovis - I was planning on doing the same thing last month, but went to Holland for a week instead. I originally wanted to do it the other way round, so that we would do the overnight coming back from St Malo. Brittany Ferries force you to get a cabin on the overnight ferry which put me off.

@edscoble - What mattress is that?

Funnily enough that is the tent that is coming up the most on my research. MSR Hubba 1, the single person one right?

If I'm going to do it ultralight again, I'm gonna go back to that, but with a smaller lighter tent that doesn't required tent pole, which will reduced the pack size in the saddlebag enough to get away with a smaller framebag.

I am looking for a touring tent, @edscoble what tent are you using?

me likey new event functionality. I think the auto list should be visible on the right, rather than having to click the attending count. Just an idea/suggestion.

I hadn't noticed the avatars being in the header, so perhaps the list being on a click is fine.

... When I plug it in it asks if I want to import using google+ or gallery.

1. Does selecting google+ put it on a cloud somewhere? Does choosing gallery store it remotely?
   
   
   
   

google+ is like facebook so it is uploading to the cloud however you can't do much with the photos once they are in g+. 'Gallery' is just the local storage. This is the option I think you want to use. This gives you the ability to upload them to another photo storage service later.

1. Does anyone have any good ideas for online cloud storage for my photos? I've got drive, Dropbox and copy. Is anyone of these easier than the other?
   Thanks.
   
   

The choices for free image storage are really flickr or picassa. flickr is from yahoo, and picassa is google's equivalent. I use flickr personally since I was using it from when it launched.

To upload to flickr from your camera, just import your pictures into the 'Gallery' when asked. Once completed launch the flickr app, choose the upload option, select the pictures you want to upload from the gallery, and leave it uploading.

You could just use 'Drive' or 'Dropbox' but these are more generic storage options. The images sharing/editiing/viewing options are not as good as flickr or picassa. Dropbox will start costing you money once you have uploaded a few gigs worth of photos!

Another awesome day at Thorpe Park.

Hats you were missed! So the pub worked out? were you guys there long?

The forecast is getting worse for Staines. They have lockers at TP so you can bring regular shoes plus whatever waterproofing you need, knowing you don't have to lug a bag around with you all day.

The bike racks at TP are pretty good. Plenty of bikes there, mainly staff. Pretty secure I'm sure a CCTV or two cover the racks. A single lock plus cable should be good enough, lock in pairs should be fine. Or a pile if you insist, just keep in mind people might be leaving at different times.

Lazy with the camera on the day because of the rain.Here are the pics.
