Ingatestone on not quite the shortest night

Fuck riding let's go to Clacton.

Seaside!

Ahha, new eta 19.36... #anticiaption - crikey, had enough time to slip into Lycra after all, never mind!

Is the platform on left or right side of train? Do I has to move my bike?

18mins from LPoolSt to Stratford. Madness.

19.56 into ingatestone for the ride outs.

I'm out, see you lot next time

Great ride, although it broke me. My knees totally seized during the train ride back and I limped home at a very stately pace.

Luckily I bumped into forum elder and Canopy Beer magnate @stelle who chatted me back the last mile. A lovely ending to a lovely evening.

17mph FTW.

Thanks, as always, to Matt et al.

Who is Al?

Al? I dunno, I am terrible with names. Nice to ride with you, good #dadchat and #bikechat

@jaeyukdapbap for future reference here's the nice way to get out to Ingatestone - ignore the first bit where you leave from my office: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/22346864/edit

And thanks again as always to @middleofnowhere for leading and @Rod_Munch for the beer. I'm pretty sure I now owe you many beers

The "Al" line was a gag on"et al".

A poor one.

Where's Al? Did we leave someone behind?

No but ludwig might still be somewhere out by Welwyn

thx guys, enjoyable,

Who's the prick in the bright orange t shirt?

Cheers dude! That looks way nicer than the route I took.

@Rod_Munch thanks again for the drink.

Last night was a goodun'. Thanks all!

Did I imagine it or did a woman really re-position herself at the bar "so I can get a better view of him"...? Him being, of course, Howrad in his sexeh vest!

That's brilliant.

big up respect for the Mohican btw @mashton - just saw a poorer effort at Stratfield;

@rod_munch - will bear in mind the stripy-vest-get-up for future tempting middle aged women of Ingatestone yah! :-) he he!

doh - she might be remembering me from the days of youth - between the age of 0-10 when a resident of the said village!! #vestfail :-/

pps. Stratfield packed tonight as Robbie Williams is performing at the stadium - attracting mohicans and all sorts of largely middle England -

@fussballclub, i'm converting my blue/silver fixie NRC bike to something geared, so gonna be just like you soon - rockin' the midweek ride club night riders gang avec some leg-easing gear-assisters.. :-)
