Young Mr.Bunbury was spotted just now, although given that he'd come to pick up a rear rack it'd have been bloody amazing if I *hadn't* seen him

I spotted him earlier too!

Buenos dias to man-on-blue-Ribble-audax who I met at the end of the Plough Road and cycled with as far as Battersea High St. Said he read yacf, and he's on the lookout for a titanium frame (58-60cm, I think). I might be dreaming, but I thought I'd read a post where someone had ended up with two following an insurance replacement, or similar.

I was spotted by a fair maiden on the Grand Union towpath, going the other way, who shouted "Hello y-a-c-f'er" - all there was time for was a Helooooooo

I spotted Smurphboy on his way to Slimbridge (I think) closely followed by his pannier-bearing Extrawheel trailer, in a group of camping expeditioners.

Ham. HK mentioned that she'd greeted an orange-jerseyed forumite along the canal. She was quite surprised that I knew who it might be.

Today I have repeatedly spotted GlasgowDave, Ariadne, Crystaltips and Blueth. Often sitting at the tops of hills, waiting for something or.another... And then again, with PerkyGirl, over a rather splendid dinner. A simply marvellous day!

mrcharly has just left Interzen Towers with a front rack - second visitor in a week, blimey!

On the A466, near Brockweir (Forest of Dean) someone in a Pink YACF shirt. Spotted by Miss Jaded whilst doing a Duke of Edinburgh award.

Waiting patiently to cross the New kent Road this morning, a cheery Clarion.

Nice to see you.

I have just been listening to Woman's Hour. There was a very interesting young lawyer on there. Knows her stuff. Communicates well. Should go far.

Mrs. Wow spotted her too and drew my attention to the broadcast. I couldn't quite tell if she was wearing her YACF wig.

Yes, I was listening to Woman's hour too. It was quite a surprise.

Ham.

Was it you we clocked on Sunday morning?
Town-bound, west of Ilford?

Three of us (Pippa, Adamski & self) around 08:30ish? Heading east.

Well?

Yes 'twas (or at least could well be), had on my black TdF-London shirt, white Kask skid lid astride a black marin. I was out taking pickchewers for m'blog and alternately in serious pootle-and-look-about or get-along mode. Where was I supposed to be? I hope I wasn't rude .....

Oh, and congrats on the re-saddling for commute, too.

I saw a recumbent trike with a flag drafting a lorry down the uxbridge road at 30mph this morning. Who was that masked man spinning it?

As I strolled up the road to collect Deci, Centi and Milli J, and Milli-neighbour, a Mekon, riding a tea tray that appeared to be wearing MTB tyres. Down on the drops and clearly giving it some to beat the large cloud of black that was visible over Wimpole.

I was momentarily dumbstruck, and was only able to point and say "Bah bah burble!" at the back of the rapidly disappearing extra-terrestrial, and unsurprisingly it didn't respond.

It might have been my mate "darkeyes" he's been pulled by the police and warned for speeding down there before now ! Normally he has a Tibetan flag or a chequered formula one type flag depending which of his trikes he's on.

Ah, in amongst the eye candy, was she...was doing the "Sam Weller's Trip to Wochma" (another gorgeous Blacksheep excursion) for the RRTY
