AUK "gold membership"

[Captain Zep]

On PM's between MercuryKev and myself, I discover that we've both recently purchased cycling sandals.  We've both already got Carradice saddlebags and Brooks saddles.  If we grow beards, surely we'll qualify for AUK "gold" membership. 

I've heard with gold membership, you get access to a secret part of the AUK website which gives a list and map references for George Berwick's network of caves and bothies for sleeping on long rides (and wedding anniversaries).  Also listed are tips on how to get free meals in Little Chef by using some sort of "long-con" on the unsuspecting denziens of Kirriemuir.

Oh FFS 
(however, on a positive note, I can now pretend I'm cycling behind you to disassociate myself rather than lack of speed)

Don't forget the Top Tip,  "How to eat a whole bag of Eccles Cakes while pretending you have no food, as your riding companion (unsuspecting denizen of Kirriemuir) rides 50 miles through the night wondering how many calories he can suck from a packet of Extra Strong Mints."

I think I'm past the point of no return.  I own 3 brooks saddles, 2 carradice saddlebags, one pair of cycling sandles, 2 dynohubs and a full AUK flurecent yellow/purple disco themed outfit (jersey, wind jacket & cap - all matching).  I also haven't been clean shaven since December last year - admitedly I have more of a designer/scruffy bastard stubble, than full AUK beard.

 I also heard that the gold membership came with a breadbag with AUK livery.

I have two Brooks saddles, two carradice saddlebags (Barley + newly acquired Nelson for longer events), 3 SONs, and I got to 2 weeks unshaven at the weekend before breaking and hacking it all off.

Platinum membership gives you access to the psychometric test results of the ride organisers and route planners.

Mr Greenbank, you owe me a keyboard

Excellent, Mr Greenbank.

I think the last one would have been more like "fast descents"
