Forumite spotting

[Wobbly John]

In Mark Beaumont's feed from the Tour of Britain, I believe I spotted a Canardly, in a cream YACF shirt, over his left shoulder at the start of this video: https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hads-xfl1/v/t42.1790-4/11966431_1102643993081318_1679715511_n.mp4?oh=a6bf9e61b4d5886b5024a2b765c647b7&oe=55F9D4CE

Ah rumbled! I forgot to put the social ride tea shirt on!    Mark is a really nice bloke and hugely supportive of cycling in all of its forms.

A few photos from the day



We got to ride the course, marvellous.

You know who this is!

Like for tea and Cake in polite society?

Polar Bear and MllePB at home in Rugby, which is a lot nicer than I thought it would be (Rugby, I mean). I've only ever seen it from a train carriage and I expected a mini-Coventry 

Hmmm, what's Roger implying about the state of our building site / works in progress?   Twas good to see you and your good lady too Roger.  Thanks very much indeed for the slightly wobbly plastic item.   

Rugby is a surprisingly pleasant place.  A sort of middle class Kettering.  We have some really good real ale pubs, the most excellent eateries and a few curry houses of passable distinction as well.   And, my lbs is 100 metres away!!

Seriously, we are living in cluttery mess at the moment but we're both equally guilty of not tidying up so that't OK then.   The builder has been in looking at the newly vacated old bathroom space this afternoon.

NSTN in Wandle Park!

Which is more than I ever have!

On the A167 betwixt NTR and Thirsk, tigerbiten.

Recumbent trike, check
Beard, check
No top, only shorts, check.

I was going the other way, in a car, so was unable to verify the most distinguishing feature of said forumite.

Basil, heading up Selly Oak High Street about 15 minutes ago.

(I shouted, but predictably you didn't hear.)

Oh sorry matey.  Didn't see you. 
I was on a mission.  Just finished work and am now off for a week anna bit.  So a small celebration somewhere on the Raddlebarn Rd was uppermost in my mind.

I was in disguise, pushing a shopping trolley rather than a bike.

He is a lovely man, and included me in his first book, even though he described me as "rather large"

There was a veritable throng of peopleonbikes at the front of the queue to turn off Bournbrook Road into Bristol Road this morning. I recognised one of them.

"Basil!"
"BASIL!"
*pause*
"[Basil's_other_name_which_is_not_in_any_way_similar_to_the_name_just_shouted]!"
*nervous shifting from people wondering if I have some sort of name-based Tourette's*

Then the lights changed and we Bristol Roaded in different directions.

Shouting at Basil doesn't work.  You need a distinctive cadence.

[hellymedic]

Wot, like Manuel?

[Cudzoziemiec]

We know!

Sorry Nikki
That's twice this month I've not heard forumites shouting at me.  My hearing is pretty bad anyway, but I hope this is not a sign of impending serious loss.

It probably wasn't ideal conditions for being heard - including me having a cold - but fingers crossed it's nothing more serious.

Not sure who it was, but red yacf jersey was spotted going up station street in Lewes while walking with Miss Dan the Younger earlier. Your pace up the hill was such that stopping you didn't seem fair!

[mcshroom]

Ruthie and I spotted Windy and Mrs Windy at their dining table in Stornoway

[Mr Larrington]

Ruthie and I spitted Windy and Mrs Windy at their dining table in Stornoway

Wtf was the autocorrect doing there

[Andrij]

Other than the Country Bumpkins, I have spotted Pippa, adamski, Valiant and Mice this weekend.   

[Pancho]

Bloody hell I'm an antisocial sod with no identifying gait or cadence. I've never seen anyone and no one's ever seen me. I did meet a few people on rides on the distant past - but that was another life, other forums.

Surely I can't be the only NCR Route 2 yacf commuter. I say hi to everyone but they're grumpy sods on the counter commute and, presumably, just think I'm mad now.

[hatler]

Let me know when you're doing the South Downs Way and I'll toddle up the hill at Streat and greet you.
