    I aim to be there for about 3. I'll be on an old Marin mountain bike. Unfortunately won't be able to stay for more than a couple. As usual, my time is never my own. Looking forward to seeing Sketchleys new steed.

    Nah my plan is to ride from Clapham Jct to the park perhaps a quick refreshner before a casual lap then back to the pub.

    Bringing the old steel racer. 8)

    Very good to meet and get to know those that were there. I got back late and used the line that it was deliberate because as a responsible parent I couldn't possibly take my daughter out having consumed beer, so had to stay and have a bit more. Fortunately I got away with it as my washing machine repair had held water so I was a white good fettling hero.
    I can't make it until late August now as I'll be on holiday. Yippee!

    I swung by the Roebuck at 8.30pm after a couple of impromtu laps in the park. Didn't see any obvious-looking drunk cyclists on the viewpoint, so kept on going.

    I think the last of us departed about 7pm. My head hurt the next day.

    I hit a kerb on the way home, bit of a wobble after a shoulder check, scuffed tyre and little chink in the rim. Stayed upright which was a bonus.

    Result. Chink in rim = new bike :)

    Could be a good thing Sketchley didn't have his new bike. Getting used to drops with a hangover followed by hair of the dog could have been messy.

    In my defence I was 95% certain on Friday night when I started drinking that the bike wouldn't have been ready. Had I know it would be I would not of gone drinking.

    You're a lot more sensible than I am. I find after 2 I have no will power.
