Tiermat. In his kitchen with a cup of coffee. Ages since we met, good to have a catch up.

Extra points from Mrs Tiermat as I came back with loads of junk valuable resource . . .

That Jane from That London, in the shop this afternoon, picking up her new bike.

It never happened without pictures... 
Yup...was there, although not bike was for stepson, not me.  He's 6', I'm 5'2".  I attempted to ride bike from Man Vic to Man Picc.  That was interesting.  Suffice to say, it was just about possible, but I was in great fear of the top tube, the whole time.  Stepson over the moon with the rather neat little Peugeot frame, built up just the way he likes it, single speed freewheel and fixed, plus the addition of a dynamo hub which puts my mind at rest somewhat, as he's always losing lights.  His face as he took it from me and rode away on it...well, haven't seen that look since he was a good deal younger.  Sort of happy kid on Christmas morning face.

Last night at about 6.30, a red YACF jersey heading north over Southwark Bridge.  Might it have been a Ham?  I was southbound and inconspicuous.

Si_S and Longers. Both in the shop and at the same time.

I'm not sure if they introduced themselves to each other as there were one or two others in.

Life's hectic...

A light blue YACF top on the cycle track between STROUD and Nailsworth this afternoon.
It is simpler than it looks.

I think I spotted, or rather was spotted by, a Jurek heading up Friendly St as I was heading down.  I heard the call, turned to check, but was already half way down as he was at the top.  Being late for an appointment, sadly couldn't stop.  Would never have been able to chase him down anyway!

A possible spotting but can't be sure,

Tuesday, probably about 7.30pm on my back wheel just after Salmon Springs in Stroud. The chap asked about the rolhoff and remarked about my AUK sticker on the  mudguard as a fellow audaxer.

Didn't really turn round as I was about to crack the hour 15 for Cheltenham to Stroud and was getting my boogie on to my ipod.

PAC, perusing bike pron in Newbury - hope it wasn't too spendy  :)
I'd offer you some moral support - but I have questionable morals.

We were late, collectively - which is why I didn't stop  :-[
