    I might pop by, depends how I am fixed that week.

    You mean we're not first choice?


    Oh you know - work, family, might even be out on my bike on a Tuesday night. I am tempted by the idea of talking bikes all night though (as opposed to boring the hell out of my mates).

    Alright guys, I'll PM you all my number.

    I should be there from around 5:30-6 onward on Tuesdays.

    If we can't get food there (if you even want food) I'm sure there'll be something nearby.

    The burger looks pretty yummy though.

    I'm intrigued to see what you're like in real life French...
  • Haha, nothing out of the ordinary! Can you pm your number so I can find the BR group when I get there?

    If anyone else needs my number, let me know.
    I've PM'd a few of you, and a few should either a) recognise me or b) have my number from last time.

    I'm 50/50 on this at the moment as, for the second time this winter, I've lost my voice. I'll attend if I can speak!

    Aw, do come.

    Even just to hear Iain's dulcet (antipodean) tones.

    So, see you all tonight then.

    I'm in a woolly grey and dark blue stripey jumper.

    For those who haven't met me, I'm small, with short balding hair.

    I'm working from home today, so I'm actually putting in some effort to come up.

    For those who haven't met Rick, if you see a guy and he makes you go "oh that's tragic, someone is channeling Boonen", you've found Rick.

    Part of me is willing me to say "I'd love to channel Boonen"...

    Thought I had the long distance award sown up until flipping Corianda turns up from Belgium buying everyone drinks! Heyho so it goes. I've got a 2.15hr journey home and she will still get back befoe me. Things. I learnt this evening;-

    1. Girls, Rick is a cheap date. Never have I seen a pint of Belgium's finest last so long. However he does like watching cycling on the tele whilst being massaged naked.
    2. Iain has got all our mobile voicemail passwords. He knows everything we are up to.
    3. Frenchfighter works in parallel with Iain and has papped anyone with more than 2000 posts..
    4. How can.everyone but me quote the date of every significant pro race since the beginning of time (well since 1989 at any rate). I need to stay in more and read up before I show my face in such knowlegable company.

    Keep the faith

    Happy Xmas

    Good to see everyone and nice to meet some new folks.

    There was talk of arranging a spring classics get together, so folks in the South East, keep it in mind.
