The Rapha Festive 500

was going to, but need to get some clothes etc back and i'm not taking a backpack for the 90mile ride.

plus morning of 24th looks like a bit of a write off in London and Northants now anyway, weatherwise. (IMO at least - fairweather).

Excuses. Excuses. You should be doing that 90mi brakless, in jeans, with a 24-pack of Stella in a courier bag.

You seem to have become my personal HTFU / motivational / logistics mentor for this by the way. This could lead to disaster.

I break everyone. You may as well accept that and get the suffering over and done with.

Then don't.

I've got a rack out the front of my house you can use...

I would be, but I thought you couldn't do Eve?

I couldn't do Eve.

Option 1: panniers
Option 2: Apidura Koala or similar (still time for next day delivery...)
Option 3: improvise a framebag using bagsforlife and duct tape.

2. Coffee
   

U mad bro

Ride b4 coffee?

No one in their right mind would get rid of their current coffee machine before buying a new one...

What kind of fixeh fuckwit do you take me for? The new one was ordered a few weeks ago, has now arrived in the UK and been tested by @StevePeel and is being shipped to me as we speak. The old one will be moved to a new home only after the new machine arrives.

I haz priorities.

@amey I'm down for 24th, route looks good

Also I know it doesn't "count" but I'll be setting off tomorrow morning from SE for a 80km loop in the morning if anyone fancies joining me..

But... but... it hasn't started yet. Why would you ride bikes when it hasn't started yet?

I went into town today and I'm not going back until after the madness is over..

Yeah so you use the old one for start coffee then ride then worry about fucking around with the new machine.
