    Nice to meet everyone and get in a few important laps for the SCR stats table.

    I managed to puncture in Richmond Park which was a little bit tricky in the dark but made it in the end.

    ouch, as we left the pub you were really struggling to clip in... then you were gone. I waited at the gates for you for a bit then just pressed on

    Redvee you still owe me that drink. There's no expiration date :P

    Stuaff, for about 3 mins I was tempted then remembered I've got a club run that weekend. If you do it, have a good one. I'll add it to my list for next year which starts with DD.

    Nice to meet you, if only briefly; next time I'll try to be not working, and arrive at a reasonable hour.

    Sorry I had to dash, had a train to catch. (still only just made the last one, grumble, grumble, must live somewhere sensible).

    Oh, I'm in already (preregistration is required, and I'm an addict). Full list for the remainder of the year on the website (one more visit to Brighton, November), 2011 list not up yet. If you can manage Dunwich, you can definitely manage one of these.

    Cheers folks, it was grand to meet you all and put faces to names. Next time I'll stay out longer for proper drinks. (I had to leave before my bike turned back into a pumpkin)

    Afraid you'll have to jog my memory, had to concentrate so hard on the way home I forgot much of the evening's events.

    Well at least you didn't bite the road again!

    It was the one where I think you had my arm and me in your cap from side on, but just the top half of my head.

    That's the good half.

    As a relatively sober judge, you, sir, were in fact toasted. I'm sorry to have missed the development of your condition.

    Added it to the set, although my instinct tells me it might not live up to your expectations.

    This is quite clearly untrue, as proven by me obviously knowing when to quit.

    That was fun. A lovely, if warm, day in the environs of RP. Nice to see a good turnout of faces new and old. The ride home through the park was much better this year with lights :)

    Some good photos there, Brun. Did you take one of CP's feet?

    Nice to meet those of you I met.

    Sorry I ran off early. With my long route there and longish route back I did 62 miles, I have counted my limbs today and they were all present, so Dunwich in a couple of weeks.

    Cycled along the viewpoint outside the Roebuck at 9.30pm on the way home from laps of RP, expecting to see a rabble of drunken commuters and to say a quick hello. You must have all been inside the pub at that point, because it was quiet outside. No police or anything. At 9.00am on Sunday morning, there was nobody passed out on any of the benches.
