    Was nice to see new faces and catch up with some old - CP... :D

    That and a brilliant display of pure spinning power from the boy Ginge from Morpeth to cheyne when he went off to piste via Fulham Park. I can accelerate fast and get up to 20-22 in quick time. Its when you are there but the boy ginge beetles past at 26...

    There's no one quite like him out there. K Donut and CJ... the bell has rung. :D

    Hee Hee.

    edit. eke you are a tart btw :D

    Good to see you all, old faces and new. Nice to meet you Chris. Hope you didn't get in too much trouble.

    Nice to meet you all too. Managed to get home on bike but very slow.... Still that does mean I completed 10/10 commuter journeys by bike for first time ever this this week, also broke 100 miles in a week and 150 miles in week for first time ever.

    Need new challenge now!

    Chris,
    The speed of the ride home isn't important, its the fact that you rode home rather than wussing out and taking the train (like I did).

    For your next challenges how about a metric century (100km/62 miles), followed by an imperial century (100 miles)? A few weeks of doing 150 miles a week and you will find both surprisingly easy.

    The troll may have been there, but I didn't see him. I was, ahem, busy.

    LiT, this isn't feeding the troll, more feeding off him. Still not allowed? IGMC

    Ooooooh. Dangerous. I'm at a wedding all day saturday, with a not-insubstantial role to play. Can't be hungover, but will be in London friday night.

    Hmmm.

    There's also a possibility I will be called away to wedding duties on Friday.

    Hmmm.

    That is until I rush into a phone box, rush out naked realising I've left my cycling gear in the office not under my civvies :lol:

    two questions:

    1. Is there anywhere decent to lock up the bike nearby?
    2. Am i going to feel like a bit of a tit if i'm wearing my cycling gear?
