Sad face indeed, I've been hospitalised by a car door

oh no!

You badly smashed up?

Bike OK?

Did they not hear your brakes?

I've come out ok, few weeks of recovery but it's my arm that's messed up.

Bike is yet to be assessed

Not the cross bike fortunately.

Should we share mobile numbers?

Glad to hear its 'only' a few weeks recovery and that is wasnt the SSCX.

Come for post hills beers to keep your hand in!

When the final group is nailed down I'll do a message group for numbers.

Be careful though, @jaeyukdapbap is notorious for signing people up to sewing machine chat groups and late night cross stitch call services.

Hah! I might actually be bringing along an instagram sewing friend. So millenial. We went for an instagram bag makers date and everything.

I'm in for riding bikes on the 31st.

Heal up @psg1ben!

So I should bring my unique artisanal Envelope Bag Works along from your 2019 audax collection to hype you up?

Good shout on beers let's hope I get out soon.

Cheers @jaeyukdapbap

Hi yeah I’d like to come along to this if it’s open. Waiting to hear about the day off

Everyone who is in, still in?

Yes. Still in. Am having a wee bit of trouble memorising the RTC songbook, but should be fine for the Shoreham beach finale. I’ll try to keep my bongo solo down to less than 25 minutes.

Always open

Great news, if there is one thing that gets the RTC sing-a-long going, its a lengthy free form bongo solo

I was just about to sign up for this ride and then I read the above. I'm coming but if there is a bongo solo shit's gonna blow up like the Godfather

I will be on a trendy bike with an artisanal bag as well. What sort of trend you might ask? We'll let's just say it rhymes with 'rum cakes' and 'tottered banks'

Edit: Further question, why is this ride not going Layhams, Ridge, A22, B2306, B2110, B2114 A2300, A272/A272?

Wait is this ride going to be full of route nerds?

Sometimes in live, you just have to roll the dice

Further question, why is this ride not going Layhams, Ridge, A22, B2306, B2110, B2114 A2300, A272/A272?

seems that way

NERD

@seager and I will be packing our bivvies and sleeping bags for a camp out in Surrey on the Tuesday night. A bright early start for camp coffee and then roll to a convenient point on the route for a cooked breakfast whilst the rest of you make your way out. Shout if you wanna get involved!

Also, I think it was discussed last night that this ride would be best done in shorts and tshirts. It's a mini holiday so the lycra jerseys can stay at home!
