Silly commuting racing

Greg T

BJK is going to the gym before coming out to the pub so that he's looking buff.....

Polishing your guns before going to the pub, shaving your legs, its all very very suspect.

I think I've fallen in with "the wrong crowd".

I might be a bit late - now have a meeting at 4pm.

How the hell do you attach photos to these posts?

Have any of you Cockney lot met before or is this a first time for everyone?

Anyway, this evening will be my last commute for a couple of weeks. I'll pop in (virtually) to see how the game is progressing. Enjoy the beers.

Scalp.

no scalp... he bottled it... but he wasn't taken

a moral victory but not an actual scalp... That's how I see it

Greg T don't worry not all of us are lady men...

You "find" the image you want to attach (as if you haven't got them saved as favourites you PIG).

Right click on the image and click properties.

Copy the img URl (prob end .jpg)

in your post use the img button above the entry box or use

Sometimes the images don't allow cross decking but most do

I only have a short window of opportunity ce soir (6 - 6:40 I reckon), have to meet the missus and assorted others at Ox Circus at 7:15, showered and sans bike ready for a trip into Soho...

BJK get your priorities right me ol' china. Gym...on a Friday night...when there's people drinking beer in the sunshine?....Ker-rist almighty!

Calm down! It's only an induction at the (free) staff gym where I'm currently working, not a full workout session :-)

Feelng a bit better now as I've just got off the phone to the LBS as to when I can get my bike repaired, turns out they work on a "first comes first served" basis! All I need to do is take it down there and leave it with them :-) Guess I'll be fishing the ol' Raleigh racer from the shed whilst the Giant's away :-)

My motivation is wafer thin.

I'll bang out of the wharf circa 1715.

Embankment pints by tomorrow first light.

Yeah, I'm in a similar fix, got to get back to sunny essex at a reasonable hour so will leave kensington at about 1720, if no-one else is there I'll have a few by myself!

I should be there by 17:45 I reckon. Recognisable by my rather unsubtle jersey which is black/red and has Pinarello Prince plastered all over it in big letters!

The prosecution rests, hands on lapels, the jury spell bound are convinced.

He's guilty as sin and should go down for a long stretch......

Bassjunkieuk

Reckon I'll be down there around 6:15-6:20 depending on how long my induction at the gym takes and wheather I walk or take the bus down Vauxhall Bridge Road, unless someone want's to give me a lift :-)

I gave the Missus a backie on my race bike, the poor thing didn't walk right for a week!

Hey, what's going on? All afternoon, this thread's been hotter than Victoria Pendleton and suddenly ... nada.

Oh, wait, it's 6 o'clock on a Friday evening. And what's this from the BBC website? An unexpected Critical Mass rally at a pub in Pimlico? Grown men (and woman) commenting on the size of each others rings? Sobbing with exhaustion at the effort required to start pedalling LiT's precious?

Go easy on the flan flinging frenzy or the rozzers will get called!

Still, my commute home tonight should be less stressful with even fewer than usual predators after my scalp (in their dreams). 8)

Haha yeah, man I missed out today.. 10 more pages. Blimey are they not back yet? I bet they are group-scalping around London in a big drunken peloton!

PS I want.. need a verdict on fake or real singlie ruling.
Stock Bianchi Pista 48.16 fixed with a nice Campag brake (supplied by ebay dude) and swankysleek Shimano A520 single-sided "tourer" spd pedals.

I reckon it's FCN 3 as a base. I usually wear baggy mtb shorts or non -cycling clothes so without a bag, non cycling gear and the pedals it's 4, on par with hairies, not that hard I reckon to keep clean sheets.
