Seeing as nobody else has mentioned it, tomorrow is the last Friday of the month.

I didn't have any pancakes on Tuesday, so I fancy some tomorrow.

250km of Audaxing on Saturday starting at 5am so I'll be on the train tomorrow and trying to have an early booze-free night.

200km of audaxing starting at 5am tomorrow for me too.

But I'm hard as nails so I'll see you all at the NFT

I didn't like the last one I went to, but I'm told it wasn't representative, so I may well be along because I *did* like the company and pancakes after, I know that much...

I also missed out on pancakes on tuesday but that's because I was being a greedy cow with other foodstuffs/alcoholic beverages.

But mine starts at 5am with a gentle 75km to the 9am start of a 100 and then another 75km home again after the 100.

Next few months are scuppered too:-

March CM: On the train to Oxford for the Dean the next day
April CM: On the train to Kidderminster for the Elenith the next day
May CM: Will be down in Cornwall having cycled there
June CM: On the train to Brum for the Midland Super Grimpeur the next day
July CM: Should be rather tired having ridden up to Edinburgh and back in the previous 5 days but you never know...

August?

Oh dear. I'm off camping. Hope you all have fun, mind!

I intend to be there.

It will be my last CM for a while, as on Monday we move to Cambridge.

Not sure there are enough trustafarians and yoghurt-weaving lefties with bicycles up in Cambridge.

Oh, there are.

I am soft as shite so I shan't be there tomorrow. I'll be packing my saddlebag and getting an early night. I've had a long week and CM before Saturday's ride would be a bad move.

BTW, the BFI cafe/bar was shut last Thursday when I last walked past it. If you like a pre-CM beer you may need to look elsewhere.

It's got it's own chapter of the LFGSS though.

Looking unlikely for me now...

I'm catching a 7pm train to Reading so I don't have to wake up at stupid o'clock for tomorrow's audax. Maybe March CM...

There is a good chance I will be there, might even pick up Peli on route.

peliroja · « **Reply #16 on:** 27 February, 2009, 02:10:05 pm »

Well that was a nice CM. Regulator did a corking job of, well, corking. Nice to see you, and hope to join you on a Cam CM sometime soon.

Yummy pancakes were consumed by Zipperhead, PGtips, Charlotte, Russ and me 'n Woolly. I even managed to snort some pancake; quite a feat.

Zipperhead and young 'un stayed behind to drool at the models shop window, while C, W and I pedalled off westwards. Hope the audax is going well, Charlotte + Liz!

A la prochaine.

They seem to go a lot better now that the met have stopped attending.
