We still haven't settled on a new date ...
"Paging Mr Beer Fuelled Commuter, will you please go to the vestibule and pick up the ermine covered, lace trimmed courtesy telephone. We need to know when you're not on nights so you can win The Mighty North Hill Freewheeling Challenge on your most aero time trialling machine. Thanking you."
I'm on days for the following Wednesdays: May 17th and 24th, June 14th 21st and 28th, July 5th according to the current shift plan.
The aero machine with a not so aero rider (with rucksack) scores about 40MPH and almost crawls over the bridge. confirming the optimum place to stand and take the piss is on the non smelly side of the infamous red bin.
I can have a stock of cable ties and wire cutters available to bring to the event.
Bearing in mind the above from BFC Esq I propose TMNH Freewheel Challenge is the evening of Wednesday 24th May - how does this fit with folks???
As we approached Papermill Lock on Wednesday I looked out for the infamous dog poo bin and noted it was at the far end of a car park by the bridge. It struck me that we could loiter in the carpark and watch / take the piss. The gate looked a bit locked but I'm sure no-one would mind if we just climbed over it.
Refreshments - could folks turn up with a few take-out beers for their own consumption? Obviously we'd need to be scrupulous about taking our litter home. Said refreshments could also provide extra ballast
And finally I think we should take up BFC's kind offer of cable ties and cutters.
Thoughts?
