    ITB, you are a little late and missed us all. On the plus side, you may also have missed the Fairy, who came to visit Dhope without an invite.

    And she didn't even pop into the pub say hello, just put 2 holes in the inner tube and left. She also sabotaged my compressed air canister and swung by London Bridge station to cause a points failure, cancelling the first train and diverting the 2nd to Lewisham to make sure that my 'quick' trip to Waterloo to get the train was anything but.

    Nope she came to visit me on the way home :evil: not the best start to 2011

    I MTFU add a tiny bit of air and rode home... like a real man :twisted:

    I was already almost home, in the next village but 5 miles in the dark, cold & wet wearing jeans a not enough layers on a CX bike with 10psi is unsurprisingly quite F**King hard :evil:

    Added to the 11 miles around London on the boris bike from hell, totally shattered by the time I got home.

    As it happens I got home on friday night and the front wheel of my planet-x had a flat...

    Good to see you guys.

    When I left cyled to Vauxhall got up on platform 8, no trains. Told to go to platform 3 get train to Clapham and change. Got to Clapham no trains, told to go back to Waterloo and get train to Wimbledon from there, then change and onward to Worcester Park. Had a drunken heated discussion with platform staff, stating that if I go back to Waterloo to get a train to Wimbledon it has to come back via Clapham so why can't it stop.... Briefly considered riding all way home, but that was not a good idea, ended up on train to Cheam and cycled the short distance home from there. I think it was 11pm before I got home maybe a bit later.

    Good to see you all, looking forward to next one. Not this week though as I'll be in Florence.....

    I'm attempting to fit my mudguards at lunchtime so my bike may not be roadworthy come this evening but I should be there. :lol:

    only managed to get the front mudguard on over lunch as they're bloody fiddly little buggers.

    anyone fancy helping me fettle the rear one on outside the pub tonight?

    thought not :(

    It's always been pretty obvious that we we've only ever been tolerated. No other minority would have to put up with their accent being mocked to the extent I've had to endure.

    At first I tried to dismiss it as gingerism, but they don't seem to have any problems with the other one.
