The Embankment scavenger hunt

asprilla

What's with the lists? Have we come over al LFGSS for some reason?

Anyway, my scalp will be available for collection on the Embankment from 1st August onwards.

Possibly on a black and grey CR1 , various kit and an orange rucksack, possibly on something yet to be purchased with various kit and an orange rucksack.

I briefly complimented someone this morning on a black and grey CR1 with Zipp 404 wheels, c.0715 on the Kings Road. You?

Not me, my commute doesn't head that way August. Also I don't have Zipp 404s and I've not even left the house in Surrey by 7.15.

CJCP occasionally takes his woooshy carbon bling hoops up there doesn't he? Also, I've seen the chap CJCP calls The Ultimate Commuting Machine on a set of very deep American Classics going thataway.

Probably mesmerized by the lovely sound.

clarkey cat

I think thats the one he got nicked - orange Fratello now I'm pretty sure

In that case, yes, I am Jon Snow.

Rode them up to the Nocturne. The sound they make (scientists recently described it as "The Hum of Awesomeness") is hypnotic.

I'm not Jon Snow... and i didn't nick his bike either

although i used to ride past a newsagents in shepherds bush called Jon Snow-never found out why they named it after him

Is this you Clarkey?

Was about the best shot I had, the ones after that are me disappearing ahead after the guys I could see in the distance :-) I tend not to hang around down there.....

Bassjunkie, it falls upon you to use stills from your camera footage to identify everyone on The List

Anyone else think we need a "badge of SCR" to display? I'm considering a cheap Chinese carbon frame for the next commuter, so can make up my own logos to put on it. Like Team SCR :oops:

I was thinking this too, because theres no way Im going to remember what everyone is riding!

I was thinking something along the lines of:

Blurred outline of a bike + rider silhouette, with a lightning bolt through the background and "Team S.C.R. " underneath



yeah!

If it is then no motorist can use the SMIDSY excuse with that fashionable colour combo

Quite a lot of bling kit on NKR/Embankment today; I suspect they're all racing somewhere this evening...

Had to ride my disc into work a while back; luckily no-one here spotted me :-)

If I get anyone I recognize I will post up pics (assuming they are OK with it?)
Most will probably just be rear and possibly side on *if* I can recognize them quick enough. May be easier if people keep an eye out for me :-)

FWIW this is me:
