Yesterday, I inexplicably caught up with Origamist at Stockwell. Because of a lot of red lights, I was nearby till about Clapham Common, when he got away.

Today, I was spotted in Tooting by Gaz, the famous helmetcam cyclist.

And today, Gaz spotted me (and left me standing) near IKEA on the Purley Way, and saw me again (though I didn't see him) at Purley Cross.

Yeah, I was spotted by loads of people today. They were walking, on buses, in cars, colleagues at work etc etc

The Cadbury Umpa-Lumpas spotted me in the Country Girl.

Having chatted to a cyclist on the Old Kent Road last night about LEL (prompted by his distinctive jersey) and how he's not riding it next year but running a control, it occurred to me that he might be a parishioner here. Either way, it was good to chat and to hear that these rides are not impossible!

'twas I. Very nice to meet you Paul and I hope you didn't get too much wetter on the rest of the ride.

LEL is a great ride and well worth trying for. But, so as not to put off any potenial participants, I should stress that I'm helping at the control rather than running it. I'll be practising 101 interesting things to do with pasta between now and then!

On my way to the 'uts in Essex to do an off road event with bobb and I spied a tandem trike in a layby.
"Ah, wierdos!" I think to myself. "I wonder if it's anyone I know?"
I slowed down and spied a Willesden cap on the head of the pilot. Someone wearing a Willesden cap on a tandem trike makes it more likely to be someone I know. I could tell it wasn't Assasin. Not quite big enough.

It was fboab and Jes who had just ridden a 30 mile TT and set a ladies tandem trike record.

Exiting the Barbican tunnel, in the direction of Barbican Tube.

I spotted a fixed, with Carradice and noticed the rider in a yacf KOTM Top of Awesomeness. I tried calling out, but only managed to cough and splutter, so instead snapped a photo whilst falling over a kerb.

Methinks not. Saturday lunchtime I was making my way back from Whitstable.....

I thought I spotted Charlotte today, but I quickly deduced I was wrong. Why? I think it highly unlike one would find Charlotte pootling around the Isle of Dogs on a full-suspension BSO at 08:00 on a Monday morning. But the cyclist really did look like Charlotte.

Hello to the chap in the old skool grey acf shorts getting his nice Condor bike off the train at Stroud on Saturday morning, as I was getting on (to go to work unf.) Hope you had a good ride, sorry didn't have time to check your name (or if you are even on yacf!)

Hot Flatus · « **Reply #2243 on:** 08 October, 2012, 05:47:37 pm »

That was Jo.

At the end of the platform was another similarly attired Plug, about to depart on the Flatusian.

francisbarton · « **Reply #2244 on:** 08 October, 2012, 05:49:46 pm »

Thought it looked a bit like him! But we'd not met before.

I just spotted Folkdevil in the Forumite Spotting thread!

Speshact on Lambeth bridge watching the traffic intently and making notes. I hope I didn't distract you too much from what you were doing by shouting at you!

Was anyone on the Santini Cotswold Autumn Sportif on Sunday? I was going the other way near Coln St Aldwyns. You might have been among the very many who gave a friendly greeting, so thanks!
