    06:30 for me, it takes time to get the stab vest on in order to negotiate the mean streets south of the river :shock:

    Will be there sometime between 6 - 6.30 to bag the hybrid a space on the railings so that it doesn't get leant on any carbon superpowers and hurt them :lol:

    Mrs CJ is out tonight, so gotta dash home. (Might be able to squeeze in a cheeky extra lap of the RP. :D )

    Guys I'm actually at home today, I may make it I may not. Can't promise anything...

    I completely forgot that my Mum is coming to visit tonight - my pink pass has evaporated.

    What would Thora Hurd do?

    Slightly worried that if I get there soon, I'll be the only one there in slightly inappropriate clothing for a pub. May delay my departure and pootle instead of hitting embankment for a blast...

    That was fun - good to meet everyone - hope you guys got back OK after your curry. Note to self - pack an extra layer and don't leave gloves outside to get soaked when it starts raining. :oops: Still shivering when I got home. :(

    Curry was good but I could've done without the extra lbs on the six mile drag back up north. Hope ITB's had settled a bit before he had to knock off the 17.

    Yet another healthy showing at HQ last night, I missed my train so had to wait an hour at Waterloo for the next one which was annoying I blame <inset random name> anyway the rain stopped and my tactic of wearing too many layers finally paid off :D

    It's all good mileage :wink:

    I had a couple of ding dongs on the way to the Morpeth which of course I totally won, I must however remember not to antagonise shaved club roadies by grinning at them as I pass and saying things like "i'm not having that!" "in your dreams ladyboy" :lol:

    I loved the gasped excuse from the roadie outside the Morpeth "that golf got in my way" LLOOOSSSSSEEEEERRRRR :lol:

    I do however need to MTFU with my GI I was spinning like a nutter (140rpm) all over London town yesterday, it was ace

    Good to see the crew again....for me, I was quite glad of the curry to fuel the journey home. It was again quite blowey on the way back - had a cross-wind from Stockwell all the way back....not easy with my panniers acting as wind-breaks...

    ITB - sorry to hear you missed the train mate - at least you had your layers! Conversely, I didn't warm up till I was half way home. No sign of any beer coat either..not even a gilet!

    Rich / Chris / Lewis - nice to meet you all!
