You're stalking me, aren't you?

Said Hi to someone with a carbon YACF jersey (Ham?) on Southwark Bridge tonight. Sorry I didn't stop to chat but was hurrying home to do bedtime stories. I was in the red and white Audax England jersey.

No, wouldn't have been me (Carbon is not in the current wardrobe selection) although I can often be found on Southwark Bridge.

Iddu and Bloomers100 in a curry house in Dunmow yesterday.

A wet Jurek heading up Perry Rise. Probably with a week's supply of bananas in his courier bag.

Also, admittedly not spotted by me but by my elder son: Valiant doing the sound at a gig in Limehouse Town Hall.

I saw Mr Bunbury's bike, but he wasn't on it. Does that count?

CrinklyLion and SmallestCub, waiting to cross the road on foot as I rode home from (appropriately) delivering CAKE to work.

Stopped for a chat, and SmallestCub and I compared bikes, which have a lot of similarities - red and grey colours, silver mudguards. I have a bell shaped like a teapot, but he has a (much cooler of course) Dennis the Menace sticker. He also told me he'd ridden 9, and before that he'd ridden 7, which which is much more than I have recently, assuming he means anything more than yards....

Valiant around 17:30 on Turner's Road, heading toward Limehouse. I gave a shout, but wasn't heard.

Ah, was he a performer or just watching? How did he know it was I?

Ah sowie! Earphones in. I thought I heard something and did glance around but you must have been beyond my vision. What were you doing on the back streets of Bow then?

There may have been a white van between us when you glanced. In general, I've been commuting more on back streets, but I use that particular route when I grab a NorrisBike for my commute.

He'd mentioned he was going to the gig there and I said "Oh, I think Valiant off of the internets has been doing some work there" and he then said "I see from fartbook that your mate off the internets is going to be there" and then he said "Actually that Valiant chap is doing the sound".

Do you happen to know what happened to John Wall? Son was expecting him to be performing - was he v v late or not there at all?

Managed to spot Wowbagger as I came out of work earlier, heading down High Holborn. We chatted nearly up to TCR where we headed in separate directions. Brightened up my commute.

Spotted, and was spotted by your two eldest at lunchtime today as I made my way to Forest Hill Station.
They acknowledged.
Does it count if they're off-forum?

John was taken ill in the afternoon sadly. Which is a shame as I always like his performances.

That international jetsetter Deano, loading two (!) bikes onto the Trans-Pennine Express train from which we (tiptop and I) were alighting, at Northallerton station, a couple of hours ago.

Dinamo and Mini Dinamo at Carnivelo. Actually I didn't spot them but was spotted, I would have gone right past without noticing them if Dinamo had not called out and grabbed my arm!

Good to see you Cudzo !
Perhaps I should get a brighter YACF jersey and maybe one for Mini Dinamo

That there Deano, attempting to unload 2 bikes on platform five at York station while a load of blithering idiots tried to get on the train at the same time as people were disembarking, concluding an extended YACF collaborative courier mission to acquire a bike for my mate Mim.

He then got introduced to my eldest sister (who we met completely by accident as she and her sprogs where heading for a train back south) and, following a bit of a bike ride, my elder sister (source of very many entertaining pet-related anecdotes) and re-introduced to Granny Annie who fed us freshly baked cheese scones and Sunday lunch for tea and sent us on our way.

Last seen disappearing into the distance at some speed heading away from Stamford Bridge, when I realised that if he stuck to CrinklyPace he'd probably miss his train and sent him on his way with a supply of cheese scones.

The green looks good. But mini sizes are a very good idea, I reckon.

I passed a bloke with a yacf top on the embankment this morning - also a carradice bag. I think I've seen him before.

was that Not so Total Newbie going west along Union Street in Southwark at about 6.15?
