Well I did at least come in on the bike today for the first time since Roydon so there's a chance I'll make good on my claim of attending. No flapjacks though, which makes me worried about getting round.

There's a chance I might ride out tonight, if so I'll let you know so you're not waiting at the station for me.

I'm not sure how I'll be heading over either. Could be train from Waterloo, Surbiton or even a ride out. Will update accordingly.

I have a bike, I have lights, I have fig rolls. I'm starting to run out of excuses, looks like I might actually have to do this.

the important question is... does @rhowe have any socks?

Our last chance is a dodgy weather forecast, but even then I've got a waterproof this time round.

What's the sock thing about? I forget...

I am planning on lugging some warm clothes around so I don't die of hypothermia at the end like I usually do

I'm pretty sure you've turned up for at least one ride where I was wearing overshoes, full tights, jacket and lobster claws (and was still freezing) and you weren't even wearing any socks (or maybe some ultra minimal ones I couldn't see) and were apparently still warm! :)

Ah yes, well I've got those socks today - https://www.jejamescycles.com/endura-coolmax-sock-3-pack.html

Our last chance is a dodgy weather

If it rains we sit it out in the pub for a bit, do a truncated loop and back to the pub for last orders. In many ways I see this as the ideal scenario.

At least it won't be cold.

Now riding out (but certainly catching the train home)

Now riding out

Where you riding from? We're not meeting till 7:45....
