    I've tried cycling in a miniskirt; it's rather restrictive. And hair blowing about all over the place is just annoying, to my mind.

    Psst ... Young Lady ... I think you're supposed to wear something under your skirt ...
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Actually I was wearing leggings at the time. But a tight skirt is restrictive nonetheless.

    What do you wear under your skirt, Greg?

    Obviously, I do not wear a skirt. Skirts are for girls. And Scotsmen. Who are, in many ways, also girls.

    You do not have a shaved and silky smooth leg to stand on.

    Why wear a miniskirt and leggings? Stockings - did you mean stockings?

    A-ha! Trust you to sidle up to a burd and take their side. And *then* attempt to engage them in some hosiery-related chit-chat in order to impress upon them your metrosexuality.

    You've been on that single speed far too long, I tell you.

    Alas, I know you want it to have been stockings...but no, I'm afraid they fall into the 'hideously impractical' category.

    We've only got TotalNB's word that she's a girl she could be a gruff ex docker called Kevin- you on the other hand are defo in that "Crying Game" grey area with your depilation and doe eyes.

    It's you I'm grooming.

    Is that a (not-so) subtle way of proposing SCR beers this Friday evening?

    You are *so* depilatory-curious. It's coming off you like fur off a moulting retriever. You're just in the Nile.

    I could possibly do a quick (and secret - don't tell the Mrs) pint on Friday.

    Shall we meet in a pub or would the "serious roadies" prefer a wine bar?

    Why break with tradition, we al know the Morpeth has adequate pillars/fences etc for bike parking and it's not so far off anyone's beaten track!
    Besides it would give us a chance to flesh out any final details for those attending the traffic (well car at least) free roads this weekend in our fair city!

    As they say 3rd time lucky as this could be the first time I can attend with my bike and not have to feel like some outcast as I'm not in lycra :-D

    It's on. Like Donkey Kong.

    Might make mine a secret pint too. If Mrs Greg66 were to discover that I'd gone drinking with a bunch of people I - ahem - "met" on the internet, she'd (a) laugh like a drain; (b) call the police; (c) chuck me out.

    I'd have to agree, I'd have to make it a swift one too! I'm meant to be out on Saturday for overtime and have some bike thing to do Sunday so I'm not exactly Mr Popular with the other half atm, last thing she needs is me hanging around in town again!

    As for G66, don't worry we'll treat ya nicely - will be nice to put a face to another forum regular!

    Yeah I've gotta admit I keep this little gathering to myself - the risk of mockery from non-believers is just more than I can bear!

    So yep on for beers as per.

    Juice bar for the roadies.

    Oxygen bar for you GregT. I heard a vicious rumour that your recent scalping activities have left you in rather serious oxygen debt...

    He doesn't have a face. He's like one of those Black Riders from LOTR. That's what that cold air is on Embankment.

    GregT - following on from G66's point about you being a girl for riding a SS, isn't your daughter going to think the same thing when she asks why you're riding a bike with the same number of gears as her?

    Wow you bunch of wusses! I've been meeting up for intermet-sourced drinks, picnics, parties and the like for over a decade! Tell your wives it's not just doggers, World of Warcraft geeks and your weird uncle Nigel who meet people from the internet, and man up and declare with price that you're getting together with men who shave their legs and wear lycra! There's nothing to be ashamed of!

    Funny guy.

    She can ask me that question when she out drags me over 100m....

    Given that I'm going to have her geared one for one I doubt she'll be doing that anytime soon.......

    I knew there was a reason a burd (other than LiTs and Total NB/Kevin) would hang around.

    Danger we are being groomed for plucking by a burd roadie........
