    Wish me luck people i'm setting off at 10:00 I expect it'll take me 7-8hrs or so with stops and map reading/wrong turns :shock:

    I apologise in advance if i'm unable to talk when I arrive :lol:

    I'll be coming in via RP but alas I fear I won't have the strength to give the 3-lap challenge a go this time :wink:

    Good luck, I had a look at your route and it actually goes within a stones throw of the only office I work at that i haven't tried riding too, so I might be giving you a grilling on how the route from Woking to town went :-)

    I think we're going to need to start booking a room at the morpeth if these friday drinks start attracting a big crowd :-)

    i finish today at 16:30 and depending on ITB's wearabouts I'll be down sometime after that......either following a direct 5 minute route or a around the houses to enjoy the good weather route :-)

    Yeah, I'm going to be trying to sneak out early, but I'm also going to the gym at lunchtime so may not be able to... I might prowl the embankment on the maxima... or I might not!

    We'll need to bag a couple of tables outside, methinks!

    I can be there between 5.15 and 5.30. I may try to get there even earlier...

    If it gets too late I may not be able to make it at all. :cry:

    I wonder if he's made it back past the Winnersh Triangle... :)

    He's not posted here yet so somewhere between London and The Sticks.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Good night, that. Sewinman managed to introduce himself without falling into anyone, and Rich158 likewise. Welcome both!

    Anyone hanging on for news of the Viner should know that it's really not that special. LiT even left it outside for a couple of hours without it being stolen. Not even sure if it was locked.

    ITB was in attendance, and knocking back pints of Guinness as if he'd earned it. Cheeky git.

    I made it back home. Rode back with Sewinman, Bass and TotalNewbie - who is a lot faster than she makes out, no pootle for that girl.

    'Displayed the power of D' on Clapham Park Road... though I think Bass and Sewinman couldn't possibly have been playing... :twisted:

    Oh and I wasn't at all in trouble with the GF, got back in and offered to help make cupcakes with her... :shock:

    Good times at the pub once again!

    5:15 AM? Holy moly DDD, even though the forum's clock is wrong that's bloomin' early!

    Well ITB, the Viner and I made it back to Ealing, and he set off bright and early... saying something about it being a lovely day and maybe he'd ride back.... :shock:
