    No can do fella; I'm driving down to Sussex tonight, taking the bike and the missus. Gonna get in a flat SPEED blast around some Kent marshland on sat morning then laze around the pool (weather permitting), then get happily drunk in the Best Pub in the South East. IME!

    I know you're female and therefore can multi-task but sheesh!

    Actually just have a smartphone. Thought I'd stop and see if anyone was doing beers in order to plan my route...

    Another one? :shock:

    I'll be having one very soon, having skidded my back tyre almost to oblivion. Haven't had chance to change it all week, but I've gone to the trouble of carrying round a spare just in case. :roll:

    If it survives another couple of miles I'll be there very shortly after 7.

    I did an LFGSS style ride by at 18:40 but no one was there so I toodled off, could only have managed the swiftest of swift ones anyway.

    Anyone around for a Morpeth pint this Friday (14th)? Mrs OSK will be in attendance, on the way back from her first commute to work :-)

    That's a baptism of fire if ever there was one. Will you be making her complete the first day's commute after several alcoholic drinks?

    I might be able to make this week, not sure yet.

    Sorry OSK,

    It would be good to catch up with you and everyone else again, but I'm off to see U2 at Wembley

    I did drive past teh Morpeth a few weeks ago enroute to the southcaost and saw everyone outside, I was seriously temped to stop, but it had taken us an age to get that far in the car, and we wanted to get to the boat at a respectable hour

    So you've got Mrs OSK commuting in? She'll be on the forum before you know it ;)

    Did you get a route sorted out alright?

    I have the day off. Probably will sink myself in Fallout 3 on the X-box.

    I might try to pop along for one, seems ages since I have been to t'Morpeth...

    Edit: I've just remembered I have a board meeting that day so will be sans bike and in Normal Clothes if I do come. And possibly drinking since lunchtime, since it ends in a lunch with wine...
