Forumite spotting

[DrMekon]

Going through Horley enroute to Box Hill today wearing a Yacf Jersey someone shouted 'Yacf' at me ... have no idea who it was 

It was me. However, I was visiting, so I don't count.

Now I'm confused so those in Horley can't count or read? 

Nice to nearly meet you BTW

We spotted Steph on Gatwick station on our epic journey back from riding to Brighton with the old cars. She was heading somewhere to twang her twanger. 

[clarion]

That was a lovely piece of luck!

[Steph]

I got Butterfly, who launched herself into a hug so impulsively she stood on my toe, Clarion who nearly broke a rib or six with his embrace, Grace wot I met on an FNRTTC to Sarfend and one other who looked familiar.

Plus my first encounter with a duck, who simply looked confused.

For once, late trains made my day!

[clarion]

Grace & Terrie aren't technically forumites.

Purple long sleeve YACF jersey, black fixed, Sloane Square around 4:30 this afternoon?

Too early for TimO' s home run  - and he doesn't have, to my knowledge, a black fixer.
Darkpoint fits with the purple top and black fixer - but he busted the fork on his one recently.
And so this thread could continue.....

Actually, I have been cycling home around that time recently (and getting up at sparrow fart), and do go around Sloane Square on my home commute (I miss it slightly on my way in).  On slightly cooler days I've been wearing long sleeved winter weight YACF tops, one purple and one black, and whilst it's not fixed, I'm using a black single-speed bicycle.  If there was a knackered orange DHB pannier on the rack, then it was definitely me.

Tiermat, last night

And I (and the rest of the Tiermat clan) spotted a Ruthie on the sofa of doom

Whilst driving in Leigh this afternoon Mrs. Wow and I spotted a very effective looking cyclist who had an interesting mudguard sticker in yellow involving a picture of a bike. She stopped at the London Road lights and we got close enough to read the words: Cyclists stay awesome! It was then that we realised it was Domestique so we can categorically state that she did.

Ah. I thought it was you

As I don't own a motor vehicle, I've stuck one of those on the back of my bike trailer.  I'm surprised they fit on a mudguard, though.

Ah, they did another batch with smaller ones (and, handily, a window sticker version): http://road.cc/content/news/121962-awesome-stickers-update-they-sold-out-more-way-plus-get-free-ones

I've seen that on the back of a twin-wheel pickup truck, right next to a yellow sticker stating 'Cyclists stay back' which had a large red 'X' put through it courtesy of what looked like electrician's tape.
The cargo on the bed of the pickup was one of those bike-hangar secure storage thingies.

"Slow" Coach, for the first time in ages

Yesterday, at All Bar One, forumites including Adrian, Jurek, Tim Hall, and a good many others I can't remember just for the moment.  Sadly not TimO, who had a mechanical at ridiculous o'clock, and had to bail from the FNR.

[Kim]

Or me, who failed to locate All Bar One, in spite of getting within 50 metres of it.

[clarion]

[Kim]

After riding round in circles for a bit, and knowing that those whose contact details I had wouldn't have arrived yet, I resorted to google via my Nokia location-unaware dumbphone's one-up-from-WAP browser, which convinced me that I'd made a classic Tower Bridge/London Bridge cockup and sent me half a mile in the wrong direction.  By the time I'd located the wrong All Bar One and established the absence of cyclists, I'd used up the window before my train from Euston.

Such are the perils of just-in-time planning.

That AFASOAS, in t'shop. Yesterday aft . . .

[Valiant]

I met Valiant for the first time last night.

A tentative spot of an AWL afoot this morning, twixt Kenilworth & Warwick, in hi-viz cycling top, about 07:45 in the lashing rain ? (I was car bound)

[Ham]

Tonight I were spotted by a Darkpoint who was in mufti, I dint recognise him with his clothes on. Actually, knowing my prediliction for not recognising people, that might not have helped too much.

[Cudzoziemiec]

I almost forgot about this: Sunday, about 11 o'clock, by the Freke Arms (a pub named for YACFers if ever there was one!) at the foot of the hill into Highworth near Swindon, someone driving a large black van with pink and white signwriting flashed at waved at us. No idea who it was, and none of us was in any sort of forum clothing, though at least three of the six of us are indeed forumites.

Dave Lodwig and Mary in Costa in Prince's Risborough yesterday - a planned meeting - money and saddles may have changed hands...
