edited August 2013 in Commuting chat
Following on Veronese68's thread viewtopic.php?f=40012&t=12930648 where July drinks fell flat on it's arse. Here's a thread about getting together in August. Either an afterwork thing on a Friday or Sat / Sunday afternoon, early evening. All dates in August are up for grabs, apart from first weekend because of the London Ride 100. Please select all the dates you can do in the voting thing as multi select is allowed, you can change your vote if you want to or your available dates change. Voting closes 4th August when we will simply pick the one with the most votes and go with that.

I make no appologies for picking RP and the Roebuck, I live that way as does Veronese68 and a few others. Plus RP is nice enough for the cycling stuff......

    Well done Chris, I've cast my votes. Hopefully we'll make it work this time. Rick can buy us all a beer with the huge wealth he's amassed whilst working abroad. ;-)
    Coriordan, nowt wrong with Thursdays. When I did a couple of laps with IP and WR a couple of weeks ago we did say we should have a pint after. Stick a not in the Thursday thread.

    I will see if I am allowed an evening out. Not that any of you will know who I am or ever see me on the road as you are all too fast! ;)
    RIP commute...
    Sometimes seen bimbling around on a purple Fratello Disc or black and red Aprire Vincenza.

    I should be ok for the 17th. No idea quite what else is going on until next week. After too much fizzy yellow beer I'm looking forward to a decent pint.
    The red wine is rather good here though.

    Aiming to be in Cornwall - riding Launceston to Lands End. One of the guys on the RAB had to pull out at the beginning of the final day so 20 of us are re-riding it so he can finish. Thats the day.

    94.1 miles, 6915 feet. http://www.strava.com/activities/60733970

    So yeah, can't be in RP that day I'm afraid.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    Don't let the arse end know you've misplaced it. They'll think all their Christmases have come at once.

    Not one person so far has confirmed the 17th yet. I may even struggle.

    2nd best vote was Friday 30th Afterwork. Who can / cannot do that?
