I spotted him yesterday, had a nice chat over a pint at lunchtime...

Jolly nice chap, that jellied guy

beat me to it on both counts.

Chain slackness solved thanks to C. - loss of chain twice in 200 metres rather than once a month may have been related to speed one does when not cycling solo.

Charlotte again this morning at the Polish War roundabout. Our routes start at the same point but split and then briefly cross, it was bound to happen eventually.

Gah - sorry I didn't notice you. It would have been pointless calling out to me, too - I was halfway through "My Way" (Sex Pistols version, natch).

clarion · « **Reply #454 on:** 19 March, 2010, 09:57:44 am »

My Way was not Sex Pistols, but on Sid Sings, credited to Sid Vicious (though Steve Jones did play guitar on it). </punkgeek>

I think I saw a forumite steaming up Carshalton Road towards Mitcham last night, wearing an ?orange? (the light isn't very good there) jersey.

Someone leaned out of a Landrover-type vehicle and shouted "Auntie Helen!" on Wednesday. I didn't recognise him - maybe one of the YACFers? It was between Great Bromley and Colchester.

I now have a mental picture of you wearing Vivienne Westwood tartan bondage trousers and a ripped T-shirt, with a safety pin through your nose and a scowl on your face.

Kind of like Sid Snot, but with a Carradice saddlebag

clarion · « **Reply #458 on:** 19 March, 2010, 10:24:23 am »

A bit like that, yes.

And I was only 12 in 1976, so no bondage trousers for me. Besides, I was more of a Northern punk (a la Buzzcocks etc) rather than an emulator of the Bromley Contingent, who we tended to regard as fashion victims. We wore black.

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet but did spot someone on here.

Maybe.

Anyway, at 9.08 yesterday morning I spied Wendy on his upwrong heading north past Bromley. I was being a mondeo-enger taking elder son to band practice. Then at about 6 in the evening I had just dropped daughter at Downham pool and there was Wendy heading back down the A21.

I had no samosas with me.

It was me! Egad my butt is achy now, although much better since I bought a wider saddle.

You sir, ride a lady's saddle sir

I saw a couple of Things in Sutton. 2 was hanging around a bike shop, trying hard not to buy stuffs, but 1 was out riding the Palace, and came back enthused.

Actually, I spotted Dobbin first, a noble steed, waiting patiently outside...

i met longers on a ride today, although as if was another forum we frequent's ride, it perhaps doesn't count as a spot…

I've just popped in to say I seen you today so hopefully two wrongs make a right. Nice bike mister.

A Pre-Goth then?

At the Outdoors Show, NEC yesterday. Saw Clarion an Butterfly eyeing up some carbo steel pointy knife thiniges. Possibly for cutting the cake?

clarion · « **Reply #468 on:** 28 March, 2010, 10:42:51 pm »

Actually, we were buying mini sporks. Not half so macho

I think we'll be managing cake eating quite well unassisted, as it happens...

I spotted several in the pub in York this morning - nice to meet you all

It may have been our own Lord Mayor on a recumbent I saw cycling up Lea Bridge Road near Bakers Arms* this morning.

* While never a fantastic pub, I was saddened to see that it is now a bookmakers.

seen at the great budworth ice cream café this afternoon in yellow yacf top, nodded back when i did (red and black lotto jersey), who was it?

Wendy · « **Reply #474 on:** 10 April, 2010, 07:06:32 pm »

Aunty Charlotte at the real tweed deal cycle ride. About a 1000 of the sods cycled through, stopped my lesson completely. LOL!
