Spotted...

Feel 98% confident I saw @6pt cruising down Great Dover Street about 630. If so you were looking v flash. I was standing by the side of the road and as you passed I slowly, pathetically said 'do a skid' at the same time as I was admiring your geared bike.

Timing right for me, but I was (unusually) fixed today because rain. They're practically indistinguishable though. And yeah, was feeling pretty dapper. Sorry I missed you! Didn't hear a thing and was focussing on getting through the rain.

Aha, still a damn sight faster than me!

Brm @BRM

You got to your destination then?

yes, it's coplestone rd > bellenden > chadwick > lyndhurst way. coming back is almost identical but holly grove instead of chadwick. 10000 x more pleasant than rye lane (tho i never get any sweet SE spots, cryerrytime)

Also: Lyndhurst Way = worst road surface EVAH!

hahaha it's so awful! it's shit right up until the magical border between peckham and dulwich upon which it transforms into dreamy smooth tarmac

Very quick chat with one of the Morvelo guys on the OKR, morning!

And a rather over worked @OneLessCardigan on Trafalgar sq, hope you have a relaxing weekend dude :)

Cheers. It was that Chadwick / Holly Grove thing that was defeating me I think.

Our local councillor, Mark Williams, seems switched on to cycling, a bit. Peckham Peculiar has notes from some meeting where they fielded a few questions from twitter - one of which was my question about making Peckham better for cycling. It was broadly positive, in a slightly wishy washy way.

OK definitely you @6pt - of course I was squinting in the rain as well so I wouldn't testify to the fact you were on gears.

What glasses were those you were wearing? Hawt.

some old arnettes I found on holiday years ago. could have done with windscreen wipers fitted yesterday though.

Finally yes.... Turns out i could have jsut kept on the route passed crompton park and i wouldve been fine.

Need to think about some cheeky pints soon

Ohai Eren. Good to bump into you. We dropped old bill in a flash off the lights :-)

Triple Triangle GT on Old St roundabout this morning, on here?

Murdered out Cipollini Hampton Court Bridge just now. Def not 'on here'

Certain tyre damage if skidding on Lyndhurst! Also the most impatient drivers in the area.

Haha, I knew we were going to do that. Police put me on edge anyway but I also have an irrational fear of spooking a horse on the road if I cycle past it and it reacts by kicking me off my bike (in the face) or trampling me (in the face). I didn't want to hang around.

Police horses are trained to deal with crowd control, they're the calmest horses in the world.

I can't vouch for your average field-dwelling, apple-munching nag, mind

Oh yeah totally, they can shrug off a firework chucked in their general direction like it was a water balloon, the irrational part is the horse just taking a general dislike to my presence and just giving me a quick slap. Like this vid but less funny, for me anyway, especially if it was in the face.

brizzle babe @B0N0R on vauxhall bridge road at 6:15, what a delight

also think i briefly caught @Skülly on e. dulwich grove a couple of hours later in a fruity hat?

fruity hat?

A sort of Carmen Miranda job?

The confusion on your face was priceless :).
