FNRTTC

[nuttycyclist]

So, who's going on SimonLx's FNRTTC tonight?

[FatBloke]

In this weather??   

[mike]

nope.  Was hoping to but mrs mike has asked some friends round for dinner.

[Charlotte]

I'm going.

Onna tandem with a stunningly beautiful and gorgeous stoker 

[Wendy]

I'm almost tempted, seeing as it's meant to be p1$$ing down all day tomorrow so I probably won't be teaching.  Do I risk it??  Hmmmmm....

[Charlotte]

You know you want to.

You owe it to yourself

[Julian]

I'm going.

In line with my policy of succumbing to flattery, I shall stop moaning about the weather. 

[nuttycyclist]

I'm going.

See you both there then

(I'm bringing the proper bike though.  Frankenfixie was a slog into the headwind to work this morning)

[Jurek]

Me 

[clarion]

I'm not on this ride.

No FNRs....





...yet. 





Patience.

[Wendy]

Have you seen the 20mph headwind forecast though?  LOLOL if you're onna tandem or a recumbent.  Not otherwise.

[Clare]

Me an' Vern should be there, we will be performing the traditional bringing up of the rear role and trying not to bore the pants off the TEC.

[delthebike]

 
Just a bit of wind and light rain to wade through. What worries me more is the train journey to Fenchurch St. I do have company from FSt. to HPC though so my first cycle ride in jolly old London, since '93 anyway, won't be totally blind.
It'll be a doddle</famous last words>

[Andrij]

Me!

Though in light of the forecast (and the fact I've done no pre-travel prep for my flight Sunday) I shall not be cycling back to London.

It appears there will be some competition when it comes to bringing up the rear.  Maybe a prize should be offered.

If you do want to go, I understand you have to register with SimonL3 beforehand. Either PM at the other place or snarf his email from the Cheam and Morden CTC website. Details needed, I think,  are Real Name, mobile, next of kin, CTC number if you have one.  This is so he can add you to The List and find you when you get lost in the Wilds of Essex.

[Dave]

Me too.

Well, I've registered with SL³. But. But, but, but... The weather

And my performance-enhancing drugs won't have arrived

If I do go, it will be the first time I'll have met any (Y)ACFers, which I think will be an odd experience, knowing so much about you already...

[delthebike]

I think Stefan may be up for this as well. (from a (mis)remembered chat last club night)

[Jurek]

I have just come home from work on the Honda, and can confirm that out there it is windy, windy, windy.

[FatBloke]

I think Stefan may be up for this as well. (from a (mis)remembered chat last club night)

Stefan is certifiable so I'm sure he'll be there!   


I may join you all for breakfast.

[nuttycyclist]

Right.

Thatsh the carbo loading completed (Ta FB) although in view of Hummers's's thread elsewhere in here I didn't tuck the third pint in.

Want babysitting on the train?   What's the train time and I'll meet you on it.

[Arthur]

I'll be there...first ride over 40 miles on fixed, so I'll also probably be in the running for Lanterne Rouge.

Aha! Safety in numbers, I wouldn't say no. Thanks Nutty!

Train from WoS 2153 arrives Fen 2305.

Edit: I have still got your mobo # from the SEG75. I can txt you when I'm at the station at the same time I txt my London Escort Service.

That's a slow train that goes round the long way.  I don't want to sit on the train for over an hour.

Can you get on the next one?  Arrives Fenchurch Street at 23:13.   TFL journey planner for cycling says it's a 28 minute cycle ride, and I can sit on the train for less time.

edit:  Having looked at the route, that's probably the long way.  I'd usually just ride straight down the embankment, up to Nelson's Column, down to Liz's house then to the big roundabout with the usual fight through all the traffic trying to access the inaccessible cycle path in the middle.

OK! 2217 from WoS it is.
