Maladict(a): 'I think these GPS things are overrated'.
John Spooner: 'So I set off with the lead group and after a while, looked round to see that I'd ridden them off my wheel. Thank goodness for that, I thought, I won't be pestered for tales of the old days'.
PaulD: 'I don't think I'll bother with 200s any more, I just love these longer rides' [A bit unfair because he seemed to be having fun on the BCM]
Teethgrinder: 'What? 200km? On a pushbike?'
-
Mal Volio: 'No I really wouldn't do that - that ride is just not suitable for fixed!'
NikW: 'Look, can we speed things up a bit - Tuggo's catching up!'
-
Teethgrinder: No thanks, I'm not hungry at the moment.
Peter Turnbull: ...and I didn't go off route once!

-
Danu: "You go on the front. I'm tired."
Bryan Chapman: "What on earth's the point of riding from one end of Wales to the other and back?"
-
George McNasty Berwick: "Can I borrow your comb?"

John Spooner (amongst others) at 4am: "What possible use would a bus stop be? I'm feeling wide awake!"
Nuncio: "He kept up in the early season, but I was 50 points ahead of my brother by the end of the summer"

-
Liz: "Oh, lovely, another hill."
-
Drew Buck: I can't wait to get my hands on the new 2009 Dura-Ace kit.
He might be saying that in 40 years time!
-
Wowbagger: "No, let's not stop at a pub today, I've given up beer."
-
Hummers: "You went to the pub last night? I don't think you're taking this seriously enough."
Charlotte: "I've packed everything I need for this ride into my jersey pockets."
Arabella: "I spent £50 on SIS-GO but I think it was worth it."

Dave Kahn: I don't bother with a pump now I'm on UltraGatorSkins.

Pat Hurt (Iddu): "You won't catch me entering a ride as bonkers as that"
Patrick Field: "You can't beat a nice steel frame anna Brooks saddle, lad"
Mark Hummerstone: "Put them away dear, that's not nice"
Martin Malins: "Gosh, I'm having a simply lovely ride today - everything is going swimmingly well"
-
Mr Larrington: Any other recumbent riders fancy a pop at the Maniac Grimpeur over Christmas?

Richard Forrest: The cafe is bloody miles away!!
Mark Beuchamp: Wahey!! First one back again.
Juliet: ...and can I have extra sausages with my steak please.
Ian H: My ride is really hilly and full of gratuitous hills. Don't even think about riding it. It's an absolute killer.
Charlotte: Hmm, perhaps removing their entrails with a rusty blade and burning them seems a little harsh....
Jim Hopper: Just relax and enjoy y'self.

3 of the best so far
Jim Hopper: Just relax and enjoy y'self.
But that one had me laughing aloud :)

Even Jim would laugh at that.

Rocco: this ride's a bit main-roady for me. Let's take to the lanes and stop and look at the daisies if we feel like it. After all, we've got all the time in the world.
Teethgrinder: just took the new Mondeo for a spin. I managed to get the Ghia version for the same price as the base model. I mean, you are what you drive.
-
Jules: I much prefer these flat rides to those hilly events
Teethgrinder: Think I'll stick to 200s this year
Peter Turnbull: Follow me everyone, I know the way
Nuncio: My brother isn't into cycling as much as I am

Frere Yacker: Today we are all heroes. Even the DNSs should be proud.

Monsieur Pumpe: "I don't care how bad the forecast is, I'm starting tomorrow come what may"
-
Mr. Larrington: It is my dream to save enough money to be able to live in Edmonton.
-
Dave Khan: It's true that a Dawes Galaxy is in fact one of the worst bikes for descending quickly.
-
Dave Kahn - Another SR completed without a single puncture
-
Charlotte: I never work on my bikes. It plays havoc with the manicure.
-
Teethgrinder - That's another series of short stories in the post for Arrivee
Teethgrinder (again...sorry!) - What on earth is a Golden Triangle?
-
I so much enjoyed reading this thread after meeting many of you on LEL I thought I'd give you the chance to add some more!
-
SandyV: No. Sorry. You won't see me at the next LEL control.
-
Mnsr Pumpe: Go on John, tell me the story about the wet Elenith again.
John Spooner: To be honest, the details escape me.
and
SimonP: Oh that? I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

-
SimonP: no, I didn't check my bike before the ride and I'm not worried but it
Fidgetbuzz: I'm not surprised to see you again, after all I am going well and you aren't that fast
-
SandyV: No. Sorry. You won't see me at the next LEL control.
:) +1 - I thought she was stalking me!
-
Not just you ;)
(And see I can still do it from the other side of the world!)

Judith S: " "

Judith S: " "
Judith: "I'm looking to forward to stopping at the next control, reckon I'll put my feet up, have a few cups of tea, and a nice long lunch."
The Tuggo: "Sorry lads, I'm heading home now - got to be back in time to catch evensong on Radio 3, then it's off to choir practice."
Hummers: "I'd really love to join Audax Kernow - If only I'd been born just the other side of the river" [runs away and hides]
-
Hummers: I was going to say something but it was just too crude.
-
Hummers: That Mrs Miles gives some good advice, but I do wish she would mind her language.

Next time I see you, you may as well throw yourself in a hedge and save me the bother.

John Spooner: I'm going to chase every last one of those bastards down. We'll see who's going to win this one, today!
-
matt c: OK, I'm ready now.
El Supremo: I've run out of food, they'll just have to go hungry.
-
Hellymedic: Oh goody - a nice long uphill!
-
Hellymedic: Oh goody - a nice long uphill!
I think The Liz has already bagsed that one upthread.
Giraffe: I'll park my bike on this nice Sheffield stand and enjoy a pack of crisps...
-
Little Wheels and Big: I think it's important to be there well before the start time, don't you.
VelloYellow: 10 minutes is more than enough at controls.
LEL controllers: No, I won't help you - Audax riders are meant to be self-sufficient!
LEL riders: This weather's ridiculous. I'm packing.
Helen: I couldn't possibly ride another 600kms with no working neck muscles!
-
Keith Benton: You make some very good points *****, I propose we make time after any other business to discuss them in detail, in breakout groups, a seconder?
( ***** Fill in with name of choice.)
Damon.
-
otherdave: Yes, I'll be riding that event. Definitely. I made my mind up ages ago.
otherdave: Look guys, can we slow down a bit? I'm really struggling today.
-
Little Wheels and Big: I think it's important to be there well before the start time, don't you.
I think I've actually said that. People's definition of "well before the start time" do vary somewhat...
