All of us spotted a Mr Boothby Graffoe who, while not a cyclist (as far as I know), is bloody funny.

Aye. I did wonder how many of the audience in slightly-less-than-posh SW London knew the joke.

Mr Graffoe himself, btw, is not a Yellowbelly, but hails from Hull.

Ian H, LWAB, Assasin, Willesden Guy and many more at Rocco's funeral.
Yacf was mentioned in the longest speech.

Zillions of 'em, at the rally, although like last year I managed to miss Ara. Wowbagger, Clarion, Butterfly, TGL, Kim, Andrewc, Steph, David Martin+young'un, Regulator, Tomsk, Phantasmagoriana, Luke, MrCharly, MsCharly, CrinklyAuntie, CrinklyUncle.... and I'm sure I've forgotten one or two. Sorry!

Wasn't your Freya outside Sainsbury's New X one evening last week, was it?
Lot's and lots of red, including the chain - but with straight bars - and I thought you ran drops.

A secret, one sided spot of Clarion and Butterfly just now on the 16:45 Sutton bound train in Blackfriars station. I was walking down the other platform to reach the bike area of the train on the north-bound train and saw them on the train on the other side.

An Andrij and a quantity of honey coloured leather which was tightly wrapped and lashed.

Ha! Very good. TGL was there, too, but he had his jacket on, so you might not have recognised him.

I was introduced to Arabella's chap Marcus yesterday and he told me that he had spotted Jan and me on the platform at Peterborough station. He was on a train. This must have been two years ago this coming August.

Darkpoint in the first and third pic.

There was a Jurek slogging up Sydenham Road on Saturday. I was out buying shampoo and conditioner.

Yup, all of those, and I managed to spot an arabella auditorily (they'd retreated to their sleeping bags by the time I emerged from mine), which I'm not sure if it counts. Plus a CrinklyLion, a pair of cubs, a markg0vbr and a littlewheel. And minus a Kim, obviously.

And I got spotted by MsCharly on the Fulford road on Sunday evening.

ETA: Oh yes, and what I assume to be Beryl The Yellow Peril (which I'm sure counts as an honorary forumite) while leaving the CrinklyDen on Monday Morning.

and this morning's Jurek spot was a bit further from his den, crossing the Auld Kent Road and waving at a dozy PaulR,

Frantic waving just about caught your gaze

Wholly unaware of the 'slogging up the Sydenham Road on Saturday' - I was out - but was it I?

Terry Waite is equally unaware of shampoo and conditioner in one bottle - he continues to take two into the shower.

C'est la vie.

This morning, I spotted ChrisL at Tooting Bec. On his Principia rather than the Cliff Shrubb. As I'm not too well, I couldn't put on a spurt to catch him, so followed him through Balham, hampered by heavy traffic, till we ended up together at Clapham South, but separated by about a lane. The traffic brought us together, and we chatted a while before I turned off to be a wimp through the back streets.

Nice to see familiar faces among the sea of commuters.

Chris L · « **Reply #2043 on:** 28 June, 2012, 01:12:57 pm »

Nice to see you and your bike in (apparent) great shape. For someone not feeling on top form, you kept up an impressive pace.

clarion · « **Reply #2044 on:** 28 June, 2012, 01:15:19 pm »

It's an 85" top gear that does all the work

The wonderful Thing1 and Thing2, in that there San Francisco! A wonderful day of tower climbing, bike porn spotting, ice cream eating and gossiping. So great to see them

That Deano, in our kitchen, drinking coffee.

I have a feeling there are a LOT of stories to hear.....

clarion · « **Reply #2047 on:** 02 July, 2012, 03:30:16 pm »

Nah. Reckon everything's been said on that interweb. What more could there possibly be to tell?

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #2048 on:** 02 July, 2012, 11:09:34 pm »

Phantasmagoriana this morning when I was on the way to the swimming pool. Mr Bunbury, bunburying around South Bank when I was on my way back. CU and CA when they came to collect the EldestCub for karate. And that there Deano, who came round round for slightly bonkers tea, with small children causing chaos all over the place, and to deliver possibly the Best Book In The World from India. Much gossip and nattering, and a certain amount of red wine imbibed (although not, I hasten to add, by the small children!).

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #2049 on:** 03 July, 2012, 01:03:13 pm »

Spotted when I popped out for my lunch today, Mr Bunbury on his shiny red bike.
