Wednesday Night Klub Run (WNKR 2014) - a bit like TNRC but not on a Tuesday

Will put my name down for a couple of these, work (feltham) isn't too far away from effingham so could ride over rather than getting train in and then out. Am looking forward to them, got to get the miles in if I'm actually to do Paris roubaix, rather than talking about it. Need to get the fixed commuter back on the road, so apologies may have to do the first un's geared...

Looking forward to seeing you scoundrels out on the blacktop..

"ikea"?

Separately, well done Pirate, very impressive.

Great to see this up and running.

Five hills too rich for my legs but I'll be out for Kent or somewhere north or east.

Also highly gratified to see IKEA immortalised. For those that are wondering, I was bestowed with the award for "best excuses" back in season two of TNRC. The other excuse is too graphic to relay.

in.......ish...

will confirm.

the road up to ranmore is not great at the moment but the pub still sells guinness, fair trade.

I was just thinking; need to get the batteries on charge tonight, buy some fig rolls, give the bike a bit of a once over when I get home... Then I realised I was coming over all previous now we're Wednesday nighting it, probably still should get that all done so I can relax at norfs tomorrow night.

In other news, I am knackered from a weekend of shifting furniture and spring cleaning, and I think I might be coming down with a cold. But I am confident WNKR will cure me of all ills.

Think I am going to make my season opener something flat and northern - but Wednesdays should be pretty good for me.

Is that really all of us?

Everybody's at Easts on Wednesday evenings, you just know that's where it's really at.

First Surrey ride is always small, Roydon is always massive.

in for this one.

i seem to only ever do the first one and then nowt else...

anyways, see you tomorrow.

Hah. I am so not race fit, I don't know about the quality. Was hoping to blend in to a crowd of coughers and splutterers.

See you at Waterloo.

Ditto, but don't let on to them that aren't coming, that way we can maintain the illusion of superhumanity, at least until we get horribly exposed on the Roydon ride.

I happen to be in London every other wednesday but generally have to speak at/with people on business..

Boo!

It's like the first cuckoo of spring.

I'm cooking fresh homemade egg fettucine and a walnut sauce, followed by trout with celeriac dauphinoise, a simple green salad, tarte au citron and a couple of half-decent cheeses. For six. On a Wednesday.

I'll think of you, all quality not quantity, while it's pissing down.

Thanks, train is not until seven so I think we can make dinner with you.

And why would it be pissing down in your kitchen? You should have a word with your upstairs neighbours, they've probably left the bath running.

In. May well get dropped on the hills into the wind but only one way to find out.

Judging by the way I was dropped by a business woman on a bo-bike this morning you'll be in fine company. And anyway, no one gets left behind (well not on purpose, sorry Loic).

In - Catching the Rod Munch Express.

Out tonight. Some last minute issues with the Tweed Run route and I have to go recce. Still, I make the first bedwetters list of the year, which is some consolation.
