Late commute in today, for a bit of a half-day ~~at work~~ forumming.

Many cyclists out and about, including one Mrs Pingu near Fettercairn.

FTFY

You might ask Bob when he changed his name from 'Half-wheel' to 'Flat Earth'. I seem to recall him being presented with a half-wheel trophy somewhen.

I believe our Deano is responsible for the flat earth nickname. Bob prefers Bob The Diesel. He's all torque.

It precedes me! He was already known by that before I came along.

RegT, Kim, AndrewC, Meegat, Cyclofabrica, Andy Gates, Baggy and Chuffy, at Channings. Possibly others otp too - but I may be getting local CTC bods confused with parishioners!

Teethgrinder ( I think) at the Willesden's memorial ride for Rocco Richardson

Spotted TimO with his matching orange YACF top & bike today.

We spotted Tokamak outside our tent in Niort because he had spotted me in my YACF jersey

The Crinkly pride spotted Kirst, who (helped by CrinklyAuntie sporting her purple YACF t shirt) also spotted us, in Edinburgh North Bridge Pizza Express

She brought us a great big gold medal-esque CAIK. Which has _proper_ lemon curd in it

Phantas, but she blanked me - possibly because neither of us were en velo.

Yesterday we spotted ESL in a random cafe NE of Niort. There was a random rider asleep in the same cafe wearing the old design Audax ecosse jersey we didn't recognise, maybe also a forumite?

Sorry, didn't see you!

On Bishopthorpe Rd. You'd have passed my bike about 50 yards back :p

Well, I always like to colour coordinate, except when I'm not.

Orange wouldn't have been my first choice for a bike, but with that bike price, or rather lack of much of a price, was the primary concern. Luckily at this time of year it does go well with the orange short sleeved YACF jersey.

Presumably I was somewhere on the commute into work, since most evenings it's dark when I'm on my way home, and less visible.

Lunchtime ish (11.56) junction of Greyhound lane and Streatham High Rd, near the common.

Panoramix plus Mrs P and both mini-panoramixes at a camp site in La Chapelle aux Feltzmeéns, Brittany where we all had a lovely meal and we are sharing a pitch. Mini-P rode most of the way here on her Islabike

Pub run to Beningbrough a couple of weeks ago? (I've met Mr B on rides before that, though).

I'm afraid I'm fairly rubbish at spotting people in the street (though less so when they're on bikes - much easier to daydream on foot!).

You lucky thing. I haven't seen the 'mak for ages, and we didn't see him all week. Probably getting up late and riding mostly short distances with small people meant I missed him on the road.

I saw what looked like a black YACF jersey on a lane between Layer Marney and Layer Breton in North Essex on Sunday afternoon - but I was a good couple of hundred yards away in a field with some friends and their dogs, so could be mistaken.

Could have been Bloomers100 as he has previously been spotted (by me) riding in that part of the world.

We spotted a Panoramix on a campsite in La Chapelle-aux-Filtzmeens in Brittany on Sunday night. We then had dinner with him and the lovely MrsP and mini-P's and pitched our tent on his pitch overnight. In the morning we ate their fruit and rode off to St Malo to catch a ferry

A black YACF clad Clarion round the back of Nonsuch park today.

clarion · « **Reply #2124 on:** 16 August, 2012, 06:13:31 pm »

Yes! Didn't expect anyone to see me, but I was wearing my black yacf jersey. I headed out through Nonsuch this morning, and crawled back through this afternoon.
