Seen on Thursday night in Parson's Green: An LEL jersey-wearer, riding a fixed wheeled bike.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be a lesser-spotted Greenbank.

The tetracycline is working, then?

Yesterday outside Wythenshawe Park- Ed O Brain and Maffie on their family bike. It looked hard work !

They'll have to prise that jersey out of my cold dead hands.

Exchanged about a dozen words with someone from here half an hour ago on my commute, between Streatham and Norbury. With various cars, and other cyclists about it was hard to have much of a conversation, and whilst he knew me from FNRttCs, and I think I recognised him (although people in helmets always tend to look the same to me!), I didn't get his forum name, so own up, whoever you are.

Today in Witham, a forumite in a Chelmer CC top at the traffic lights on Spinks Lane.

I *think* she said her forum name was "Jess", but it might have been "Jez", but I'm rubbish at remembering stuff like that

At the Golden Cross, Saunderton (Bucks): Mr Spooner again, wearing an LEL jersey, & nattering about a rather fit young Italian lady he met on that epic event.

I saw BPOAB a few days ago. In a pub.

Wascally Weasel, looking piratical in his Foska jersey, several minutes prior to the start of a TT in Richmond Park.

Makes me wonder how many forumites I pass without knowing (being unknown to all and in Leamington Spa I mean).

Looking at the Members Map, there aren't a vast number of you in that area, although lots may be hiding, and not admitting to it.

I haven't cycled in Leamington Spa for a while but maybe popping over before the end of September for a row and a picnic.

AlexB True we've met a fair few times, but always at night! you're right though, for the time of night, there did seem to be a fair bit of traffic about.

Actually I knew you were an Alex, but like Adams, there seem to be a fair few of you about on the forum (actually, there are a fair number of Tims as well!)

Think I spotted the lesser seen Tiger on the Uxbridge Road tonight. Obvious bent, A-Z t-shirt, iron jaw, determined look.

Race Face jelly - Race Face. Not to be tangled with. Were you the persistent speedster who gave me the trouble then?

TheLurker · « **Reply #292 on:** 28 August, 2009, 02:32:15 pm »

If you're in Condor early tomorrow afternoon you might spot TheLurker.
If you do; say hello.

Lurk recognition : Skinny, bald, bespectacled, middle aged and no more than average height; styled and dressed by "Millets".

The phrase "persistent speedster" and my name have never been used together. I think it was around the top of NHG that I spotted you and there were a couple of other cyclists milling about you. I guess at least one could be deemed a speedster. I faffing around putting my lights on think and you were well gone.

Charlotte · « **Reply #295 on:** 30 August, 2009, 03:16:55 pm »

I saw a Tiger as well - en route up to Critical Mass on Friday. He turned round and rode with me for a while up to Birdcage Walk.

Goodness knows how he recognised me

I'm at CC too. I'll be around Eastside at dinnertime if anyone wants to say hello. Apparently we have the best food.

Valiant · « **Reply #297 on:** 31 August, 2009, 03:47:13 am »

Sadly I'm now on carnival duty so no more CC until Tuesday or the derig

Mildenhall was a Spotter's delight:

RichForrest was less easy to spot than his bivvy bag (which shared our pitch, but he got up earlier than us

)
Maladict
ChrisS
Cycleman
Nobby
Bikepacker
Annie, formerly of this Parish
Wowbagger
Delthebike & his distinctive pink cap
Tokamak
Bobb (sadly without his pink headgear

)
Butterfly & Superstoker, of course!
Tarpaulin Dave (not a forummer, but known to many of us

)
Loads more...
