Friday Night Norwich City Rides

sorry dudes had to rtb, my legs just didn't have another 30m in them, wooooo.

Hahaha, no worries. We turned around and you were gone. We didn't go much further. Ended up ath the Dukes Head in Corpusty(about 5 miles from Holt) for a pint or 2. We then turned back. Hammered it into the city. Managed to get back to the city for 12:10, just in time to meet up with benjaminbunny for a pint.

Great ride guys, shame we lost 2 riders on route. About 40 miles. It has been decided that we shall do the original route that was planned next week. Sparky will be back from LDN, Spencer may be in, Dom, Dan and Ben should be up too?!

Anyone else.

Was all a bit survival horror, specially when we lost Dom on Aylsham Road. Good ride though chaps, and a taste of things to come.

Arrr ok I just saw the sign for holt 10 miles and realised no way did I have the wowzer to make it. Messed up riding back too, couple of times I ran into the ditch as drivers kept it at full beam, blinding poor snarble!- Visibility issues I guess.

Not surprised you had visibility issues, with that piddly little front light. Was just about to offer you my spare Cat-eye when we realised you werent behind us :)

You can change piddly to non existent, no front light and 10 miles of pure F E A R!! Still the sky was very brooding, I found it very emotive(cough cough)

Haha, sketchy... You should have said goodbye though. We stood, roadside, awaiting a bloodied snarbs (thinking the worst!).

Only for about 2 minutes though, to be fair.

Ha, yeah well it stops me from feeling bad by knowing he is alive and well...

Just got my Friday sorted so I'm free for the ride. Will start list, amend as appropriate:

1. machineisbored
   
2. pissed_up_pista
   
3. Dom
   
4. Snarbles?
   
5. benjaminbunny?
   
6. Sparky?
   ..and any more for any more?
   
   

Would be great to get all the previous Fri Night Ride participants out. Another country-side jaunt would be good, could do pista's planned one, any other suggestions?

Well, I am in. Saw ben yesterday and he is still up for the original route. Dom aint in though. Not this week anyhow.

Leave me on the list. Shall drop texts and calls in the week. Can everyone else do the same please!

Oh, and just got a Charge Plug frame cheap off eBay for my birthday. Gonna have it powder coated in some garish colour.

Ha, bumped into Wigz earlier. He is in. Also bumped into Mikey Mike, he aint in but said to try Robbie Doig. Also bumped into Charlie (snarbles house mate), he is up for some rides, but not this week as he's working! All riders spotted in the same place within 10 minutes. Was like a mini meet!

Nice to know that anytime I'm riding with NVS and have a mechanical or a terrible crash, that I will be looked after.... as long as I can catch up in 120 seconds.

Should be in for Friday - which is good, as my name is already on the list! That's enthusiasm, right there.

Yes, I concur. Twas terribly bad form of us. Let's make sure we've all got each others digits at the start of the next ride so anyone who lags behind can buzz ahead.

Well I have got numbers for dom, dan and max who doesn't have a phone any more...
Maybe we should get walkie talkies! Hahahahahaha! If we registered as a club we could claim the tax back like a self employed business!

Walkie talkies now theres an idea for fun.

Bingo mike two foxtrot

Are you out on friday spencer?

You can get a pack of two Motorola TLKRs for about 50 quid, 6km range.. but seems like overkill. Everyone just needs to be aware of everyone else, shout ahead if lagging so the front knows to slow. Would help if everyone had proper lights too.

That said, I'm sure we'd have gone back for snarbs if he hadn't just asked "which way is norwich?"

Of course!

I think I'll drive into the city with my bike and come meet you guys, otherwise I've got a 35 miles round trip before we've even set off!

So KFC, Dereham Road. 8:30pm again. Everyone alright with that? Can you get Arron to join us Spenceeeee?

Yeah I'll text him mate and see if he's up for it.

What route are we doing then lads?

Ride to a rural pub, sink a few beers, ride back? Any good pubs south east?

Well. Got the stoke, diss, beccles, loddon home route planned. But...

Who would be up for the reedham ferry route instead? Voice up your opinions!
