I overtook, and then was promptly re-overtaken by a roadie on Clerkenwell Road around 8:30 - white geared Condor (?) bike, black Rapha kit. He must have been at the start of a long ride as his jersey pockets were stuffed with bananas. Very jealous as I was on my way in to a full day's work.

Sounds very much like braker on his way to scoping out the 100 Club ride to Bristol - Canyon not Condor?

braker, are you still planning some reconaissance this Sunday? I'm keen to join if so, so wanted to find out your plan for the ride. Fixed or geared? Average speed? ETD 8am? Do you have navigational aids?

My geared bike is in hospital at the moment so I'd want to go fixed if that doesn't risk holding up a group. I've not done this length of ride fixed before but would be reasonably confident of pushing on.

The Milwaukee?

2nd dibs

I remember from some advanced driving training in Germany that "Stodderbremsen" was a deliberate technique of phased skid braking (though not necessarily that effective), but that doesn't quite capture it either.

That means 'make (can mean 'do' or 'manufacture') a (playground) slide'.

Keep 'em coming ...

I'm sure there is a possible expression, but I have no idea what it could be.

What about "Mach eine Rutsche"

Also interested in cranks if still available

Get home Friday night. Bacon and white bread ready. Silver tub looks promising. Empty. Scraped clean.

Me and Lurpak spreadable are fucking finished, professionally.

Just dropped you a PM

^ This. I guess the greater average fear of minivan drivers among the rest of the population, the more likely people are to cocoon themselves in Addy Lee airbags for their trips to the shops. Fight the power.

You have PM

Not sure if I can make the actual date, so could be up for the recce.

I live round the corner from that Sainsbury's. Never seen Lumley in there, but did spot Peter Stringfellow in there just before Christmas. He was with a much younger woman and spent an inordinate amount of time looking at ladies' shampoo (VO5 if I remember correctly).

I meant to come on this first time but was too hung over. Very keen.

Planned to use fish heads and scraps from the butcher. Anything I can get my hands on basically.

Looking to build nets weekend of 29/30 Jan, then have the expedition late Feb. Will be in touch.

Sounds good dicki. Will drop you a line when I've got my house in order re: permits.

Thanks for the tip Skully. I'd been looking for an excuse to get up there and get myself acquainted.

You do need an Environment Agency permit, but I think they're pretty relaxed about it as long as you are catching the right sort, and using the right kind of apparatus.

Apparently, the rivers are teeming with the blighters. Had planned a trip to the River Lee or Grand Union canal. Could make for an interesting ride!

And useful info attached.

Do you have some old rims lying around that, realistically, you'll never use?

Any size wanted. They just have to be (reasonably) round.

The heavier the better (I want to make nets to catch crayfish).

Can pick up Central London.

A few quid, a beer, or will pay in crayfish.

Sadly, the first spare room in the (as yet hypothetical) new house is earmarked for my lovely wife's musical activities.

This is lovely. I'd be in there if I had space. Have a bump, anyway.

Got this Gazelle from Jan Simplex. It's my first time. Be gentle with me.

Sounds like me if it was around 6.15... Cycling cap under a beanie tho'... ;]

Wicked. First genuine spot. Nice to see you.

Some poloenger at Lambeth North heading Kennington way. White disc front, risers, green(?) frame. Nice deerstalker!

2nd Dibs. Should be around this weekend if sale to timmah doesn't go ahead
