2007-05-27 - Let's ride to Southend and then out into the sea

So, I've just found the seat-mounted bottle cage holder idea falls over when you have moulded carbon in your seat rails. The feckin thing doesn't really want to fit.
Backup plans: Fsck around with it until it does fit, fit another saddle with normal rails, stop along the way for drinks? Is this a non-stop ride or what? Did the L2B stop much?

cheap waterbag

Are you all trying to make me feel bad for when i show up with a couple of bottles of water stuck in my bag?!

Those purple jobbies do look nice.. go well with my lipstick..

I'm gonna say yes, but I got competely wasted at the weekend and haven't had time to do anytraining. But hopefully I can get some in before the week is done.

i haven't ridden properly since L2B. I think its cos that day was the turning point for when the weather turned from a month of sunshine to a month of on/off rain...

I'm very up for it but I fell up the stairs a couple of hours ago (smooth), it was very hillarious but now my knee really canes! Hope it doesn't hurt for too long...

Alright. Now I have a proper excuse. I get to photograph Christopher Lee on Saturday.

Just consider this a long taper. :)
I don't think there's much that can be achieved within one week. Could be wrong though?

The ride's on Sunday isn't it? Besides.. there's already loads of photos of that bloke :)

Oh shit. Feel like a complete muppet now. Gotta go to see Mr. Lee as he's a legend and I want a pic for my folio. Plus my job means I have to (tough life).

That's fine, see you all on sun.
