not of their intended route

am feeling rough as hell right now so not sure if i should come along

not of their intended route

I don't understand that sentence in this context :S

Take a shitload of paracetemol, vitamin C, garlic, ginger; eat a decent lunch; drink plenty of water; you know the drill. You'll be fine...

dont know their intended route across town

YouTube - Harry Enfield - Big Bob Joylove (Catford)

Sharp departure from london fields at 8, 8.20 westminter bridge pick up north side,
putney bridge southside sometime before 9.
Route will be richmond park, hampton court,
esher out to surrey hills where we can do ranmore, box and then off box into
epsom village, across to walligton and then continue most
direct route back to london fields for a turbo pint for those that can.
People can peel off whenever as we head back into town. Sorry this is not garmin compatible. Ha!

Sounds good. Probably see you London Fields or at the corner of Westminster Bridge, depending on how late I'm running. Will be in RPLZ kit, I expect, on white bike with offensively sloping top-tube.

nice will be at Putney Bridge just before 9. will be on black/Green bianchi wearing a red/pink helmet

James, stay the hell away with your swinepox. We don't want you.

Fix, we know what you look like. Don't panic.

black/Green bianchi wearing a red/pink helmet
great colour combo!

Fix, we know what you look like. Don't panic.

I wasn't sure if you were coming. And people like you and Jim are so bland in appearance, it's easy to miss you.

i'm wearing purple jearsey, blue/black bike and silver helmet - i may also have a little cycle cap on but i'm not settled on that yet...if i do it will be black and pink.

what colours are other people wearing?

It's true, Jim and I do blend into the background.

Tash, which road are we taking through Richmond Park. We've got another one who wants to meet us there. the lazy bastard can't be bothered riding to Putney Bridge to meet us.

what colours are other people wearing?

I'm going to wear black. I'll be on a black bike with some nice red and white details (Obviously I'll make sure that my shoes and hat are in keeping with this colourscheme).

Green and gold what else would you expect!

its the same jersey as the performance video

but i will not post a link here!

Sounds like a nice ride; i'll train a bit, get some ooomph in the legs and maybe join you in subsequent rides. Have fun guys!

htfu and come out

shit i forgot my shoes don't match...can we stop at condor on the way?
see you early doors.

I'm a bit wasted, but I've set my alarms...

Same here for me and object. See you kids up for coffee stop @ 8am.

Oh, I'll be in a nice northwave bib short and rolla jersey combo with a white helmet and black MTB shoes. I think I'll also have some brown suit socks if they are dry in the morning.

me - all the gear no idea

if i feel up to it in the morning

great work everyone, particular thanks to Tash

that was a huge amount of fun and i hope i have sweated the last of the porcine pneumonia
