We made £271.44 in 5 hours, which was a bit better than expected.

Was it because you were dynamic and superior?

Tell us the truth, Rog, you choreographed that didn't you, and selected the set.

Two spots on the commute this morning:

Crock of Gold spotted at Tooting Bec, but traffic meant I couldn't catch him till Clapham, then we rode together to Oval.

A short while later, I spotted a Brompton in what they call Turkish Green, but might be mistaken for Celeste.  It was, of course, NSTN on her new commute. :)

Sometimes it's worth being a few minutes later on the commute.
Getting there...

Someone who was the spitting image of Richard (FWC-organiser) Phipps (occasionaly OTP, phixie) - battling through the traffic off Piccadilly this lunchtime on a bright chrome machine (fixed I assume!).
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!

I imagine most of us will look like that one day. Well, those with hair, anyway.

Not a clone - 'twas the original!  Sorry I didn't spot you Marcus, but we out-of-towners have to concentrate on the traffic.  ;D

I thought I'd make the most of the weather before it breaks again to visit Tokyo Fixed.

And yes, that machine is fixed, with just a front brake; hence the need for concentration.

Belated virtual wave.

Took Lindagordinho to Stockton in the snow to buy music: Mogwai.

Had a couple of pints of Doombar in Yarm with Deano.

Not of this forum, but I was passed by a familiar knee bandage/Colnago combo yesterday, and happily the traffic lights allowed me to catch him up. Very pleasant surprise.

A pleasant meeting, I managed to bag 3 pairs of Lildl gloves and two of socks, my eventual route to Woodford went through Chigwell, obvious really.

Zillions of em! Some familiar faces, some new. Less in total than in previous years, I think, but with a slightly higher take up on the cake I think.

While driving ( :( :-[ ) between Goucester and Cirencester yesterday, we saw a number of cyclists.  Butterfly thinks one had a yacf buff.  Audax?

Whilst coffee-ing with the ex MiCL in Meltons Too, Arch whizzed (for a particular version of whizzed) past the window on the big work trike, looking remarkably cheerful in the sunshine.

Whilst on our way out on the mid-Essex mid-week ride to the Curry House, we bumped into токамак on his way home form work.  Happily he was travelling in our direction for a couple of miles or so and wasn't travelling at full speed, so we were able to catch up with him for a bit :) (both literally and metaphorically).
You are in a maze of twisty flat droves, all alike.

Andrij + another whom I accompanied along the pock-marked Westferry Road, this morning, with added bonus of coach-attemting-to- remove-the-front-end-of-a-transit incident.

I got spotted by jurek this morning.  (He came up behind us, so technically he did the initial spotting.)  I'll leave it to him to write about today's motorized moron.

EDIT:  He beat me to it! 'another' is work colleague I've mentioned elsewhere.
