Barakta, on page 7 of Cycle.  Our postie is evidently a bit slower than delthebike's.

There's a variation of that picture with more me and less David Cox on the pushbikes.org.uk home page, advertising social rides.  Make of that what you will.

I haven't received a copy of Cycle since the Dec/Jan issue as I was on a CTC suspension list, don't know why!  ??? (should be sorted now though) I got it from somebody else's copy.

Valiant, earlier this evening.
On the crossing O/S the T/H in Limehouse.

Always good to cross paths with Sam. :thumbsup:

He has SPD / SL pedals for sale. In quantity - if anyone is interested....

Best PM him,  if you are.

Ella this evening heading towards Chorltonville as three of us were going in the opposite direction towards the Beech after our Thursday night ride.
It was Josh who confirmed that it was you.

Our postie was nice & early, but I've only looked at it this evening. Came here to post about it & found (not surprisingly) that I'd been beaten to it.

Even in my intention of mentioning you mostly hidden behind David Cox.  :(

That Emily Chappell in today's independent. I thought those rules for city riding were too much like common sense. :thumbsup:

Quite a good likeness of her in the illustration, but something really odd going on with those cranks.

Yesterday on Windsor Chester Windsor myself and four others overtook a guy on a Roberts and who was wearing a purple yacf top. He had enough time to ask if we were riding WCW before we carried on a speedy passage northward. (I was the rider in the LEL top who yelled back that it was indeed WCW.)
What on earth am I doing here on this beautiful day?! This is the only life I've got!!

saw Speshact  (I think!) at Hyde park corner amongst a mass of cyclists this morning, we were going opposite directions. I yelled a quick "hello" but simply saw a confused expression in response!  ;D
not so much a gravel grinder.... more of a gravel groveller

It is certainly at a jaunty angle, not sure about the feline aspects of it :)

Ah not for sale, they are used in varying states and free :)

At the bottom of the Snake Pass this afternoon eastbound. I was wearing a One Year TT shirt.
Encountered a recumbent going westbound toward the viaduct with the incumbent wearing what looked like a black YACF top?
She accosted me with: "I have a shirt like that!"  ;D
Any ideas who it was??

That will have been that Kim.  I've seen a couple of tweets about the Snake Pass.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.
