I’m in for tonight, though probably late as I got in to work really late today.

This is assuming I can shake off the terrible bad luck I’ve been having recently. Last night I hit a drill bit that someone had left lying in the road, luckily my awesome new tires were having none of it but I’m getting quite annoyed by this endless string of shitness. Who leaves drill bits in the road anyway?!

I once asked a friend what his twin sister was like. He thought for a second, then replied "big tits", with hand movements to demonstrate exactly how big. It was so very wrong.

I know... I'll make up a better excuse on the day if it's raining and I'm feeling the effects of my friday night.

I'm hoping we can make it there by 1630. Maybe earlier, depending how long people dawdle when we stop. You could always bail in Lewes, or any number of places along the route. I'd quite like to get back for empties' drinks in the evening too. I think the train from seaford takes about 90 mins, I can't remember.

I might come along for the first hour or two and then head back. If that's okay...

(This is, of course, weather and hangover dependent.)

I know! He looked really smug about it too, which kinda ruined it.

Spotted on saturday at The Big Ride: one of the bike police at the back of the ride track standing, while all his bike police buddies stood in a circle around him going “oooooooo”. Made me laugh.

The distance people have to keep because of the state of his pants, I think (it's already pretty large).

I heard it's around the same size as the Fukushima exclusion zone.

And again in English?

I'm in for the run but not for the ride (just to be contrary).

I'm going to take the train or something v early on sunday morning, if anyone wants me to take anything (drain rods, chimney brushes, voluminous mary poppins style bags etc) then get it to me sometime before next friday - Old Street or SE London...

Oh, Ive just got notice at work. I have 5 days left :-(

That's really shitty. Still - "funemployment"!

May 5, Bedwetters ride to Seaford, meet Clapham Common grassy bit here, DEPART 10AM (bedwetters will be left behind, so arrive at 9:30AM for coffee, pastries, etc)**

What sort of time do you think we'd be in Seaford? I might be in, depending on how long it takes & how long it takes to get back (I have stuff to do in the evening).

Iain can teach you that. He can teach you how to fall off, too, as a bonus.

I don't need to learn how to fall off, I'm phenomenally talented at that already.

Some things that I hate: crowds, tourists, queueing, crowds of tourists jumping queues... The London Eye is not for me. I've been on it about 8 times now too. Luckily my parents took pity on me and said we can do it another time.

Still not coming to the pub though, so this is all irrelevant. I'm going home to learn to track stand.

Casa de Catford is rolling down to the Ladywell Tavern at 5.30 or so if anyone's bored. If we can drag Iain away from Burnout.

I am in the queue for the London fucking Eye, so no pub for me. Feeling extremely homicidal.

Cloud 9 Cycles, Camden - thanks.

+2. Went in on Friday lunchtime to get new tires and walked out with lovely London edition durano plus, tubes, tape, and the brake levers I've been after for my old bike. The man working there was super nice too.

Apparently they are moving to Angel soon, which is a win for me as it's nearer my work :)

I was expecting live updates on The Big Move. Gutted...

That would very much be of use, thank you Bernie!

Coolio, I'm up in Euston all day at work so not too far to go, although I can't do lunchtime as i need to get my barnet chopped and post shome shit i sold on ebay.

Cool, I'm in training so won't be online too much. Get my number off Iain, I think we need to speak to set up the account etc. I finish about 4 but will be about afterwards too. I'm sure we can figure it out.

Loving the team effort. But yes, wars have been fought with less organisation...

Dont worry, its the same for all of us :-)

And thank you! Ill organise with OSR tomorrow.

Cool beans, let me know tomorrow.

I'm ok but it's not doing wonders for my anxiety levels. Everytime I get on a bike something goes wrong.

Didn't fall off though. BE IMPRESSED.

Anyone being you or OSR.

If anyone wants to borrow my zipcar card tomorrow I will be in Camden all day. And not on a bike after my hateful tire exploded on the way home this evening. Loooooong walk home :(

also, I think if you're having to stay in friends' spare rooms and on sofas and the like, you're homeless. you may not be sleeping in doorways, but you still have no stability/privacy/security and nowhere to put your stuff.

Completely correct. The legal definition of homelessness is much wider than just rough sleeping. (sorry...I do this kind of stuff for a job)

And it will be quick if you drive as I dont have that many boxes

HAHAHA - I think you should have a read of this.

Hats, I suggest you explain that you have a bowl of Japanese soup with your name on it, and you need to be away by 2 pm. Therefore, if we aim to gather at 2:30, we will be just clear of the lunchtime rush, and able to grab a quiet table.

I have PM'd you my mobile, if you need to order ahead.

Excellent idea. Japanese soup takes priority over marshalling any day of the week, everyone knows that. See you at 2.30!

I've PM'd you my mobile too, in case of changes of plan.

In other news, the bike with panniers is still not rideable so I'll bring a big rucksack for carrying the drain rod sections.

I only crashed because I was reading a copy of the Sport.
