Sounds like a wonderful club. Welcoming and err'thing.

Congrats on getting the filming done, I'm only sorry I wasn't able to help in any way despite my enthusiasm. If the premier happens in December, I'd be happy to buy a dvd/summat when I return from my (long) hols in January.

Attending works Christmas lunch so may well be 'merry and incapable', plus packing for a Friday flight out. Someone have a mulled wine for me!

I have one you might, possibly, find useful. Not used it in years, but can dig it up for you.

The pic made me laugh. Of no practical use tho.

Despite wearing two pairs of gloves yesterday, my fingers froze to the point of pain within an hour of cycling, with more pain whilst 'defrosting'. En route home via Westminster, had to divert to Victoria to get a train home to Balham. Am now charging batteries for the heated gloves :-(

As much as I'm glad I'll be in Jamaica for December, there are a few things that I will miss. This ride and a ride with my 'other' group are included. Really sorry I won't be here for either.

They do have a brick and mortar shop, way out in the countryside, which for a townie like myself was an all day trip for an hour's chat/test ride. The restaurant/farm shop on the same site made it a lovely day out though.

It's worth the trip. Seriously.

Excellent design feature there. The best of British, in fact.

Thanks to the driver who realised I would be stupid enough to swerve to avoid Lake Geneva at the last minute without shoulder checking and slowed right down.

Result!

I'm of the opinion nothing is waterproof after a couple of hours heavy rain (as thoroughly tested on a night ride to the coast a few years back). Carry spare gloves etc, with a plastic bag to put the wet items in.

Good plan. Also, the foot doctor might point out other stuff for consideration. Regard this treatment as 'personal investment' :-).

At that time it wasn't the balls of my feet that were the problem, it was corns on both little toes which he pared down with a scalpel. Legacy of tight shoes in my youth. Using a pumice stone doesn't work for me, so the Body Shop foot file once a week does the trick.

A visit to the chiropodist would be useful with self maintenance afterwards, interspersed with pedicures for those 'feeling a bit flush and I deserve a treat' moments.

I've had them and I eventually went to a chiropodist then now (semi)regularly use a body shop foot thingy. Feet maintenance gets more important as you get older, especially as a runner.

Hoping for a puddle or two at race 2. Puddles make xc running 'fun'.

Surrey League race 1 @ Roundshaw Common. I so suck at cross country running but that's ok. My lungs only threatened to shut down a few times rather than many, so training works. Long run tomorrow then a boozy lunch - noyce.

I'm afraid I can't make the meeting on Monday and am not sure if my other commitments leave space to make myself available, but I'll keep an eye out just in case. After all, you might need a 'bag watching person' or something.

Looking forward to the 'beaming with pride even though I've contributed nothing to this' moment.

You forgot to add the biscuits and beer. runs

I'll bring biscuits and beer!!

Excellent point! :-).

"and bus stroking can only be done with perfectly manicured nails with a close up on the gel design that says IDGAF "

Manicured fingertips? Have to look good on the video.

Mops coffee spatter from laptop.

Wot dat?

Good idea. Although a SS rider of the 'mature' kind am happy to help if I can.

He was an arse. If you'd have gone out there and looked at the bikes, had a chat with the owners they would have loved it. Assumptions. It's what humans do.
