Two folk whose names have escaped my memory, in the rain outside Brockenhurst Te*co on Saturday.

We weren't far from there.

But it weren't us.

A fellow in a purple YACF jersey in Richmond Park this morning, a Mr Weasel perhaps?

Reading elsewhere, I think one of them was frank9755 who lives over the (electronic) way.

He looks like this. But isn't always surrounded by a ship:

Could well be; there was a number in the name.

Yes, that would have been me!

Frank isn't always aboard a ship, but he is frequently smiling.

Steph · « **Reply #2682 on:** 23 August, 2013, 09:18:42 am »

Oh yes. Even in the rain...

Was that ZigZag I espied heading east on the Mile End Road onna single-speed at around 17:45 this evening.
Or is my eyesight getting worse?
You were too far away, and there was too much traffic noise for me to make my presence known - if it was you....

Pete Mas

We share a good chunk of commute nowadays, since I moved to twickenham.

Nice to see him and chat about silly French hills.

I think Adrian, full time grumpy git OTP and Ianrauk, also sometime OTP were meant to be on that one. Long Martin, northern monkey who did LEL, is also on The List I think.

Well, we waved, and they waved back, anyway!

Riding at the back, I did indeed wave back.

Unknown forumite between 11 & 12 this morning, heading from Hungerford in the direction of Kintbury. Pink YACF jersey, beard, accompanied by a woman not wearing YACF gear.

Who was it?

I was with Mrs B & several others on a 90 mile Reading CTC ride to Lower Chute, organised by Cardiac OTP.

I reckon that'd be adamski & Pippa.

Anyone here undertake the Red Kite Ride from Marlow yesterday?

Not I or Martin... we are on next week's run

Just spotted Zipperhead on the BBC News at Ten in the cycling protest outside Parliament. Yay!

Heh. It sounds like us, but we were on a ferry somewhere between France and the UK.

Bledlow · « **Reply #2695 on:** 03 September, 2013, 09:35:25 pm »

Aha!

So . . . who might it have been? Fairly burly bloke, IIRC, & wearing a cap. Both middle aged? I didn't get a long look. Didn't notice anything distinctive about the bikes.

Burly? Middle-aged?? Love you too...

Feanor · « **Reply #2697 on:** 03 September, 2013, 10:38:43 pm »

Ahh, I had that recently too.
I had someone I'd met on a ride looking for me on a Facebook cycling page, looking for the 'Older Gent' in his 'mid 40s'!

Bledlow · « **Reply #2698 on:** 04 September, 2013, 12:08:47 am »

When did burly become unfavourable? It's what I'd call a solid, muscular bloke. And middle-aged is descriptive, not derogatory.

If either of you can think of a better description which conveys the desired information, please share it.

What's happening to language? Sturdy is now taken as a euphemism for fat by many people, which is bloody stupid. Now it seems we're about to lose burly, which is just as daft. Should I have written "differently slim"?

A quick flick through London Cyclist reveals the words of our Jane.
