A slightly knackered looking Von Broad at the Hillingdon track today; well, he did do the Elenith yesterday! Don't think we've met since the Winter Solstice 200 in 2007

Good to see you again Dave.

Just met Blacksheep and Mrs Blacksheep out on the roads in Majorca. YACF Jersey worn by Mrs B being a bit of a giveaway.

At approximately 1040hrs I espied Jane

, OTP, leading 20+ LCC Lewisham* riders along South Hanningfield Road, anti clockwise around the reservoir.

*I think it was that group. $:-\$

Quite likely them.
Jane's leading a Lewisham Cyclists ride from Wickford to Heybridge Basin and back, today.

Road-runner at his UK wedding today.
A very moving, humorous and musical service was followed by a magnificent buffet of many goodies.
Bride and groom looked radiant!

I forgot to mention I saw Polar Bear that Monday at my place

bloody 'undreds of 'em today. Must have been a sportive on in my neck of the woods. Lots of nods, waves, good mornings and even a cap doffing - I was on the recumbent today.

They're going to suffer later though, the wind is starting to get up, and it's not warm.

When I passed that way heading for York a couple of years ago I got caught up in a sportive, and greatly confused the chap taking photos at a bend in the road. The wind was, indeed, a bastard, requiring a dismount in some crosswinds near Manea to avoid being pushed right over the other verge.

That doesn't surprise me at all, I've taken a 90 degree left hander and struggled not to get blown across into the right hand ditch before now

MattC near Abingdon. Looked for Fab Foodie but kept missing him.

You were disgustingly well dressed. Shouldn't be allowed.

Andrij, on a Moulton, heading East along High Holborn around lunchtime. We were a pied, and hailed him, but his steely determination drove him onwards with no backward glance

Blurry grabbed photographic evidence of same:

Bagged a forumite spot today. Bumbling home today on the beloved Scotti spotted ManoTea on fixed in mufti nr Kew Bridge pedaling along side the Thames. HK

In addition to the forumites I expected to see, or didn't expect but still saw in expected circumstances - or even failed to - at the weekend, I also unexpectedly bumped into one Damitamit on Christmas Common, mid-audax (or similar).

Phartiphuckborlz, who appeared on his bike at the Den last night with a hyoooooge plastic storage crate attached with great cunning to his backpack. Said crate containing much excitement for Cubs.

(he had sent a PM to find out if the SmallestCub still played with lego, to which I replied that even the EldestCub still did on occasion. If his gf isn't around, anyway...)

I'm not sure that it's possible to grow out of Lego. You just run out of room to store it.

Karla · « **Reply #3271 on:** 30 April, 2015, 11:33:19 pm »

Yeah, I just found that last bit out.

Crinkles, I hope the cubs have slept since the lego appeared?

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #3272 on:** 01 May, 2015, 12:03:59 am »

Oh yes.

But when I woke them up for school this morning there was a mere fraction of the usual 'don'tWANNAs' from the littly about getting out of bed when I reminded him of its existence. And we had NO computers before school at all, because neither of them even asked - which is pretty bloody rare round ours!
