Forumite spotting

[Wowbagger]

Being one of those lonely molecules up in ´t Norf, I have yet to see a forumite when out on a ride.

I did once entrap one with some cake, though.... 

Two, if I remember rightly, and very fine cake it was! Most welcome on a cold, wet, miserable April afternoon.

I spotted a forumite on a ride a couple of months ago and I shall no doubt be seeing the same on and one other on Saturday.

Unbeknownst to you a non-cycling forumite spotting may have happened recently (I have worked the last 8 weeks int he centre of Sheffield and now work in Tankersley)

Also, I thought I saw Andy Gates in Crediton a few weeks ago - but I didn't shout out, since I don't know what part of the country he frequents, and he wasn't on a pennyfarthing, so I wasn't sure...

I saw one today, on foot, like I was, wearing civvies. mr charly

I saw a black pudding on a bike today. It was neither black nor puddingy.

I need to be licked to appreciate the puddingyness.

By total coincidence I saw a Kirst. It looked kinda Kirsty, but more Kirsten.

Yesterday there were two in my flat.

It's not many tents wot come delivered with a free demo in your back garden!

You should get the council in, they can put down traps and poison you know....

I'm not sure that I'm going to get off the bike and lick you.

I'm not Kirsty at all. Ever.

Yesterday,approx0830 hrs.
A cyclist southbound on the A34 entering Childs Lane south of Congleton.

Tony Collinet perhaps?

Saw one on Saturday about lunchtime, near Paddington station.  I was on the back of the tandem and we were about to hop off and go up a one-way street, and he called out that it was one way.  I was just about to get snotty with him (yes, we'd noticed that thanks, that's why we're stopping) when I realised that I did in fact know him and he wasn't just being officious.

I can't work out whether he's a yacf-er or an audaxer, but I know I know him and I can't work out who it was (I plead lack of sleep following the FNRttC).

There must have been several at the IHPVA bash at the weekend.  I still don't know anybody's name though...

Me, Annie, Rich Forrest, rust bucket and one or two others who I don't know.

Was that you on the Windcheater in the tent next to mine, kept awake by the ambulance?

If the Speedy had a pirate flag, and we had a conversation about the IQ fly lamp, then that's be me.

Yes it was you then 

Also there, was Fraser (bottlemasher) directing campers and Andrew (longshanks) helping out.

Rich.

I'm useless at forumite spotting. I simply can't remember who people are. I meet them, a few weeks go by, and I can't remember them. This problem was exposed cruelly a couple of times at Mildenhall.

My apologies to forumites who were greeted with blank looks. I try, really I do, but my brain won't respond.

Yay! Tonight I met Emily, the love of Jacomus-rides-Gen's life, and we cycled together most of the way to where we were going. She spotted my acf bottle, and I recognised the flame hair and piercings. She's just as lovely as Jacomus says.  And doing a great job on her first (or was it second?) solo London cycle

Emily was so pleased to meet you! She loved your bike, and the company on her way to meet me.

It was her second solo ride, and her first time in clipless.

I spotted Geraldc on his mungo in Westferry yesterday around 6.30 You sir, are a nutter!

[Andrij]

dan_b (I think he's here...) getting on an east-bound  Central Line train at Lancaster Gate last night.

[clarion]

I know he's not exactly a forumite, but I feel he is part of our extended family, as it were.

Last night, heading south from Walworth Rd RAB, I saw a chap on a rather nice CF Colnago.  And he had a knee bandage!

I shouted 'Simon!', and he half-turned his head, but then he got too far ahead of me (not just because I was stuck behind the wobbliest slow-hybrid race in history, but also because he's a darn sight fitter, though he didn't turn left at Oval, as I'd expected, heading on in the direction of Clapham.  Don't know where he went after that, as I was caught by the last set of lights at Oval, while he shot off into the distance.

Was it just an apparition?  Was it really the great be-bandaged one?  I may never know...

[Really Ancien]

I spotted Blackburnrod out doing some sneaky time-trial training on Longmeanygate in Midge Hall.

Damon.

[Greenbank]

Reminds me.

A certain forumite with pink/red hair on a heavily loaded utility bike going along Upper Richmond Road in Putney a couple of weeks ago (it was a Monday night I think).
