    Now that's commitment. We could all learn a lot from you, Brun. ;)

    Hey - you want commitment? I was @ Morpeth Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday last week. That's commitment. The barmaid even started to make snidey comments about 'athletes' & 'drinking.' I assured her that none of us are athletes...

    No worries CJ - hope you have good one! Next week may be problematic for me unfortunately but I'm sure there will be another opportunity for you to get me a nice cold Peroni! :D

    I can make it for a few. If I cba to dig out lights I can stay until it gets darker outside otherwise I'll need to depart around 8:30ish - I'm thinking an early finish would be better as I was in the doghouse last time for leaving at closing time :shock:

    But you've only got Blondo for competition and last I heard he was using a dustbin lid as a rear wheel.

    Is that P-Diddy's fixie?

    :shock: So when are you planning on blinging up the Bob Jackson? I should imagine a wheel like that would be lethal on a sunny day like this :-D

    Anyone who can actually make it tomorrow then?

    I popped by, but saw no-one familiar and the only bikes outside were rubbish, so assumed nobody was around(?).

    So I think we are currently looking like this for tomorrow based on recent responses:

    Yup - Me, Bass

    Keen - Brun, Rich

    Unlikely - LiT

    Washing their proverbial hair - CJ, Jash, Roastie, Blondie

    Who else is in? The Morpeth is calling....

    I was planning to make it tomorrow if it's happening. Very unlikely that I'll be there before 6.30 tho'.

    Well I'm working til 6pm, but as I'll be based across the road from St James choob station I'll be there 15 minutes after leaving work - I'll even make a special effort to "go easy" so I don't glow when I arrive......

    Myself, ITB an SCR dabbler and a mate of mine were present. The barmaid gave me a free glass of cranberry juice - I'm a bit concerned.

    Men can get cystitis too - I imagine cyclists more than most. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

    Not this week. Collecting one mother-in-law from station. My joy is unconfined.
