CycleChat jersey in Swindon yesterday evening, anyone here? *waves*

Sorry for the delay answering, another CC jersey wearer informed me I may have been spotted and I realised I have been reading this forum without being registered

.
It could have been me, probably the only CC wearer in Wiltshire but could have been an outsider

Can you remember where and approximately what time?

I'd be delighted to come for tea! Chuck some dates at me and we'll sort something out.

Yeah, I like dates up to a couple, but they don't make a proper tea or dinner.

Did you see me outside the TA centre, were you wearing a red top with a white hoop/band, pale blue cycling cap, red socks and white legs

Junction of Church Place and Faringdon Road, I think, about 5:30pm?

Either way, hello!

Guilty as charged - I dislike being cold so I'm only just transitioning from longs to shorts!

I never wear shorts even on the hottest day, I wear 3/4 longs, so my legs are pasty white all year round

Phixie out route checking for Dave Hudson somewhere in the Sussex/Surrey hills - I was on my way back from Brighton riding Manotea's Ditchling Devil perm

Phixie · « **Reply #2510 on:** 27 May, 2013, 08:13:54 pm »

Good to see you Marcus and I hope you got back as quickly as you wanted (it probably wasn't all tail-wind

)

Later on, whilst I was carbo-loading and rehydrating in Plaistow, who should come by but Jeff E who stopped for a chat. He was finding the wind a problem (it seemed quite strong and very cool out of the sun) and as he was chilling in a bad way he set off home to salvage some brownie points.

Lovely day out there; the weather still can't conform to stereotype, thank goodness, for once.

Saw Mr Tim Edwards heading up the Braemar Road out of Blairgowrie yesterday afternoon. He probably thought it was some chav in zafira shouting at him as we went past.

Spotted Auntie Helen just south of Monster heading towards The Hague.
(Not as coincidental as it sounds!)

hellymedic · « **Reply #2514 on:** 28 May, 2013, 02:10:43 pm »

Monster or Münster?

Vince · « **Reply #2515 on:** 28 May, 2013, 02:19:14 pm »

Monster. Between Hook of Holland and The Hague.

clarion · « **Reply #2516 on:** 28 May, 2013, 02:20:20 pm »

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster?

No. On account of the lack of hills.

Auntie Helen · « **Reply #2517 on:** 28 May, 2013, 08:38:22 pm »

As previously mentioned, spotted Wunja on the North Sea Cycle Route in the Netherlands.

Pic of him on his Mercian is in this post - can't link to the picture on the iPad.

Adamski and I are cycling in the Outer Hebrides. So far at the Gatliff in Howmore we met a chap who knows eck OTP. And over the last few days we've kept bumping into a chap and upon chatting to him this morning at the Berneray Gatliff turns out is billplumtree. Small world. Big community.

Spotted a Phil going t'other way on Cable street. He didn't recognise me at first but when I shouted chased me down to see who I was! Sorry not to stop, I was on my way to pick something up before the shop closed.

billplumtree · « **Reply #2522 on:** 29 May, 2013, 08:44:16 pm »

Yeah, it turns out that the hardcore but light-travelling fixed rider and his luggage-carrying service turn out to be adamski and pippa. Who knew?

Pippa · « **Reply #2523 on:** 30 May, 2013, 06:36:58 pm »

Not a direct forumite but one known to those of a FNRttC persuasion - Graham Hill, friend of Simon Legg, Cheam and Morden gent and originator of the Gurkha bridge route on the Felpham ride. I remember him battling with a very borked wheel on a Brighton ride. Anyway, he is the warden at the youth hostel on the Isle of Raasay.

Blimey!
That's a bit out of the way for a C&M dweller....
Just sayin'... like....

EDIT: Now that you mention it his moniker in another place is, I believe, Raasay Warden....
