No, not the things, or Charlotte and Liz.

The pilot was a white guy probably in his thirties. Female stoker about the same age or younger. She is quite small and has a darker complexion, possibly Asiatic?

Almost certain I saw the same couple on a Tandem at the Freewheel last year and pilot was wearing an ACF top then. Perhaps they took a different lifeboat?

That was me! :D. I didn't see you. At least if I did I didn't realise that it was you that I saw.

I thought I saw a YACF Buff at the start of this evening's "10", but I was in the starting lineup and not close enough to see.  The guy wearing it wasn't one of the riders.

I've just been chatting to Em, I went out for a stroll at lunchtime and she was sitting on a bench round the corner enjoying the sun.

This morning, on my way in past Stockwell, I spotted a tall chap with long hair & a purple yacf jersey, riding a Witcomb fixed.  I introduced myself.  He removed his earphones, and I introduced myself again ;D

It was Darkpoint.  Never met him before.  Nice chap.  We rode together as far as Walworth RAB, where we took different lanes, as we were heading different directions off the E&C. 

He said he was doing a variation on his usual commute, adding a few miles but avoiding Crystal Palace (v. wise on fixed, I'd say).

Sunday morning, Birmingham Snow Hill Station: Ru88el and a handful of his hareem Ladeez wot Cycle.

If I count them and the ones on the tunnel ride last year I think that leaves only another 50+ of his Ladeez I haven't met.

Miles off. I've got over 200 Ladeez wot Cycle now. 100 of them cycled with me into Stratford on Saturday - assisted by Robgul and Dunedin.  ;D

It was very nice to meet you, and chat on the way in.

I'd have chatted more, but I'm a bit deaf, so there would have been a lot of 'Eh?' 'What?' and 'Pardon?' from me ;D  Besides, there were loads more riders on the road, so it was a bit tricky.  Good just to ride together :)

Hope to see you again sometime.

Pretty sure it was Auntie Helen recumberating into Harwich this afternoon.

I couldn't stop as i was on the opposite carriage way in the car and the old dog  was desparate for a pee in the woods.

Yep, that was me - see my VERY long post in 'Have you been out today' in Rides & Touring as to why I was in Harwich covered in mud.

Mercury Kev and Mrs MK, cruising round town on their Bromptons, looking like an advert for Cool Urban Riding.

Though I suspect you're not meant to cycle down Rose Street  :P

It was either MercuryKev who said hello to me this lunchtime or I've pulled in Bingham.  :o  ;D

Kirst, that was me - I wasn't sure that you'd recognised me.  Carolyn and I had a lovely day out on the Bromptons.  I admit that some Rose St cycling may have occurred, but in my defence I was disoriented by all the tramworks.

I twigged after you'd passed me. It was hard to tell cos you had your sunnies on. I didn't have the bike today because of a variety of long boring reasons which ultimately didn't happen so I was wishing I was on the bike instead of walking, but mainly I was wishing I wasn't working!

Well you looked like you were having a nice walk.  Isn't Bingham lovely in the sun.
