ThNRC 2017 - The Heart of DaRKness

@jaeyukdapbap just read about torn meniscus, man, hope the rehab goes well.

Just under 2 weeks with a cast, but fear I have some hard work ahead of me to get fitness back

My knees say Roydon, my heart says Surrey.

Forecast is damp and 3 degrees overnight if that helps swing it.

Swings it for me, I’ll be in a pub somewhere.

Right, so how about we quietly drop the 5 Hills (for now at least) and go ahead with Roydon on the 5th April as if everything was going ahead as usual? I would sit that one out due to prior commitments (not feebleness) but enough of you should know that route by now.

Can we then do Chingford on the 19th as a super-soft start for me (and possibly @Ramsaye )? That would be entirely down to my feebleness.

We can then move on up to the delights of Surrey and Kent in subsequent rides (that charge along the full length of Knatt's Valley was one of the highlight of last year for me).

Sounds perfect!

And yes, we must do the full Knatt's Valley variation again.

Might be hard to do these, apart from being fat and unfit right now. Thursdays I don’t tend to finish until after 7 and once March ends I’ll take Mashton off Ignore and put you on it for April. Haven’t chosen May yet but this is all part of my Ignore a different person each month regime.

Huh, what, did I joke about sleeping with your mum or something?

Or was it playing Never Ending Story on the Grand Slam?

Which makes me think - should ThNRC ever have music?

@braker

Mind you your teetotalism does wind me up so.

Yeah. But the alcoholism kinda did my kid's heads in. So...

Hum, I'd be in the "no music please" camp. I like the quietness of the rural settings at night.

Yeah, my stiff link's the only beat ThNRC needs

I have a full complement of flapjack ingredients

No music.

Although ThNRC does need to have a banging donk put on it. Obviously.

I'll go equipped to work tomorrow with a full complement of flapjacks. Your choice who eats them.

go ahead with Roydon on the 5th April

?

I'm down with that. See you on the 5th

Ha! Chomping at the bit! You can just switch the date to the 5th Apr on that.

All sorted...

A brand new thread for 2018 general waffle and ride notifications has been put up...

Please head over there and save it from turning into a load of football "bantz".

Or join in if you want, so far it's just me and YAL, so it's pretty low quality "bantz".
