ooh! Don't be mistaken into thinking that he's changed his name.
I simply wrote DaveT as I didn't want to write his full name.
I don't know that he has changed his name, I do know that Caradoc isn't a member on here - and you doubtless know what his name is on LFGSS.

EDIT: BTW Did you notice that Caradoc Street was included in the route of The London Classic?

I'm mystified - I don't know his lfgss identity (unless he's the cobblemonster himself?) but I'm not surprised he's on there. And yes, Caradoc Street was a lovely bit of the route, a haven of peace just a few yards off the main drag of E Greenwich.

He was posting as The London Classic, he may well have another nom de keyboard.

Double whammy this morning....

Dave T the man behind The London Classic, formerly Caradoc on The Old Place, not sure if he's otp but I care not a jot as he's a damn fine fellow - at the top of Westferry Road where it meets Narrow Street.

So while we're exchanging a few pleasantries, who should cross our paths - non other than Notsototalnewbie, very much a-la-mode in a black yacf jersey, Brommy'ing her way eastwards.

Sorry I didn't notice you til the last minute - the sun was in my eyes so you were mostly a silhouette!

NSTN is a popular one to spot. We had an exchange of furious waving on Narrow Street this morning

Which means I must have been only a minute or two ahead of you as I saw her crossing Butchers Row.

The unmistakable rear view of the Basil, walking from his (presumed) bike park into Five Ways House. I was on the glass bridge, and suited up for working, so Basil wouldn't have recognised me anyway

I don't think I'd recognise you in a suit

(and I've let you rub my legs)

Hi Paul. I'm a little worried that my rear is "unmistakable"

You mean there are two or more people in blue cycling tops and 3/4 legs in the building?

Saw Bent Mikey in Hyde Park tonight. He was teaching, so I didn't interrupt.

Seen but not spotted today - Feline. That is, I saw her, she saw and waved at the group I was with, but I didn't realize till later it had been her! Even though I knew it was her hometown!

CrinklyLion and Deano, in my kitchen.

Nice to see Crinkles out on her bicycle and enjoying some of Teesside's wonderful cake at Roots cafe.

Tal, occasionally OTP, with family celebrating a Jewish festival. Apparently one of the few Jewish festivals that isn't based on "They tried to kill us but didn't quite succeed. Let's have a party!" Food, fun and fire is a great combination.

Interzen, out in the sunshine with Gina. Then, whilst we were nattering, I spotted a purple coat coming over the millenium bridge and Phanta stopped for a chinwag too.

On my way to work, though, and matters weren't helped by misbehaving gears¹ halfway up Malton Road $:-\$

¹ - note to self: you really need to strip down and regrease the Alfine's internals.

note to Interzen - it might always be the Alfine death rattle

If that's the case then it'll be the excuse I need to convert the 1x1 to fixed and transplant the Alfine-11 onto the orange Genesis.

I saw Bobb resplendent in yacf jersey in Springfield near Homer Simpson's house. I hollered and he wondered who I was as I was in non forum kit although astride my distinctive LHT.

You know - it took me a while, but I worked out it was you!

Pippa, again! More furious waving ensued.

Cup of coffee anna good chinwag before he had to disappear to catch an M62 back to Essex . . .
