Wednesday Night Klub Run (WNKR 2015) - a bit like TNRC but not on a Tuesday

Ah, I only saw this today. That would have been good, you got good weather for it. But I usually don't ride much on weekend days unfortunately. Or at least not without my gf, and she wouldn't be up for 120km, 1200m of climbing, or WNKR pace. Or vodka. Beer maybe, but that doesn't travel well. We're working on it though, the longer faster rides.
If I do more mid week rides I'll try give more warning next time, like 2 days. Probably week beginning 25th Jan?

Other day I leaned my bike against the wall in the loos at Roehampton Gate in Richmond not realising the saddle had turned the hand dryer on so had a nice hot seat afterwards. Felt good, would do it again

Thirsty for a Thursday ride? Looking dry and mild at 6° above seasonal ave, so am thinking of the Kent 1 one, cos the good possibility of lots of tailwind in second third.
However, if any interest, I'm totally flexible on which route.

Looking good for a ride tho I can't make it.

While we're here perhaps it's time to start the debate on moving WNKR to ThNCR. To start the ball rolling, I'm in favour.

Discuss...

Most important is to get an acronym going.

ThNCR
ThNRC
YNRC
YNCR
Etc.
Etc.
Etc...

@Oliver Schick will be along shortly to explain why the Y works.

Before @Oliver Schick comes and ruins the fun by correcting a horrible translation...

@Oliver Schick is probably getting annoyed at me @-ing him all the time, I just see him as the go-to person for all language based issues (which is a pretty broad remit). Anyway, the Y is not a Y but a thorn, the old English letter for the th sound as often mispronounced in Ye Olde.

Yanks for yat explanation for us yickos.

Even if we already knew ye reason.

does that mean if I had a lisp I could call you all cunys?

I didn't work that out, either, I thought it was meant to stand for 'yobs'.

It's a good job you spelled it 'old English' and not 'Old English'. The Old English letter Þ was only changed to Y by the hand of some scribes after the Old English period.

Donnerstag Abend Radfahren Klub

Not bad, but you'd say "Donnerstagabend Radfahrer-Klub" if you were to go with that one. "Radfahr-Klub" would sound a bit clunky and I think wouldn't even be used for the sake of the abbreviation, but isn't impossible. The problem with the idiomatic solution in German ("Radfahrer-Klub") is that it means 'cyclists' club' rather than 'cycling club'.

does that mean if I had a lisp I could call you all cunys?

"Cuny" surely?

To try and drag this back on topic, any more people wiy an actual opinion on Wednesdays verfes Yursdays?

Yursdays FYW

I yink Yursdays win for me too..

Think it should be þorsdays

Thursday works for me

THUrsday Night Dérailleurs Excluded* Ride

*Concessions Available for Ten Speed

Did the Otford route last night. I don't ride in Kent much, but when I do it always seems very punishing. Brutalised by those first couple of hills. But was completely worth it for the blissful rolling downhills that followed. Can imagine this one being even more awesome on a sunny midsummer evening.
