I'm hoping that somebody will be taking many pictures to post as I'm totally useless at that, and, quite selfishly, I'm hoping to see lovely pictures of Daisy, me and my stoker.

Tandem rides really ought to have a lot of decent pictures because all the stokers ought to be snapping away 19 to the 12.

I have today proccured a spare number plate so that when the tandem is mounted on the back of the car, we will actually be legal.

Just got to work out how best to fix it.

That's a shame. I was looking forward to meeting you and thanking you for your help earlier this year.

I am still definitely coming, but it'll be on a solo.

How many hills are we doing? I wondering about bringing the fixed.

I'd say it's undulating rather than scenic!

I may have a spare stoker if you want to bring the tandem.

Martin109 · « **Reply #56 on:** 14 October, 2008, 09:59:08 pm »

Lots of logistical reasons why not. Next year, I hope. Should have it sorted with STIs then too!

Unfortunately I do not expect to make this ride. However, I have mentioned it to some of the locals who may lay in wait for you around the Welford area - do you have a very rough idea when you will be passing through ? They are (relatively) friendly and may even have a tandem of sorts.

Hope you all have a good day out.

We should be at Welford anytime after 11:15. Who are these locals?

It's the bunch that I mentioned way up there ^ who renamed the World Peace Tearoom Buddha's Bun Shop.

Sorry but we're both a little under the weather so we're bowing out.

Have fun, everyone!

Not sure what WVCC is - is it insulting ?

They are actually a bunch of mates from the gliding club at Husbands Bosworth. Cycling is an alternative activity for when the weather is rubbish for flying.

Latest Role Call -

Definates -

Chris, Zoe, Lewis
Mrs Chris
yellow-ceitidh
Mr and Mrs Wow
Clarion and Butterfly
Polar Bear + 1
Martin109 + 1

Maybes -

Quisling + 1 ?
Liz + 1 ?

Any others?

I could possibly arrange a couple of very experienced stokers (yellow-ceitidh or Mrs Chris), or even (with a bit of jiggling around on our own bikes) a spare captain.

If those that are doing the ride would PM me their mobile number, I'll PM them mine so that we can get in contact if there are any delays on the way to the start.

Martin109 · « **Reply #66 on:** 16 October, 2008, 10:44:11 pm »

No +1 for Martin109 - coming on a solo.

Sounds tempting. Our oven is busted at the moment so no baking for me

Butterfly · « **Reply #73 on:** 18 October, 2008, 06:58:26 pm »

There is a chance we might not make it. Clarion is a bit under the weather, so we'll see how he is in the morning. $:-\$

Quisling · « **Reply #74 on:** 18 October, 2008, 07:02:52 pm »

Bah, sorry - family stuff has cropped up so no can do but I'll maybe see some of you on the brown leaf/red kit ride?
