Schmarmin. I think we should ban them, but unlike the wishy-washy radio silence experiment in the Tour, we should stand firm.
I'm going to fucking throw somebody's in a field soon.

stupid things on a larger group ride (they of course have place on other rides). everyone becomes a leader (too many chefs) then it all becomes a mess very quickly and no one knows who knows route...then they stop working and it has all gone to shit.ban them.

London, well not quite, to Bath Tuesday 27 July 2010
**Yes l's & g's. The overnight deluxe.
** Meet at Waterloo at 23:00 on Tuesday night. We catch a train out of town in the TNRC style. 30 mins later. We get off the train, and we ride our bikes, through the night and into the day. On a most splendid route.
On arrival we bathe in the roman style, eat breakfast in the english style and talk shit in the universal style.
95 miles in the legs. about 45 notes lighter in the pockets due to the train out and more importantly train back. group save/buy tickets could lighten this a bit but that gets down to how organised we are from here. so.
please only put your name down if you can definitely make it and have booked the next day off work and we can sort out group saves. it will save a fair bit on the 45 quoted no doubt. which was my single fair scenario. am too bored to do the research on rail websites. forgive me.
this will be a most memorable ride. the reccie on saturday was made out of pure blacktop wonderment.

nice one diapo. maybe you can grab the ticket braker would have had.
sam, sorry to hear that dude. but at least i have heard DD was brilliant this year so i know you have had some good night miles in.
-
• #3160
Yep, it was amazing.
Airing on the side of caution, as I don't want to fuck this ride in the ass with my knee. -

sorry to hear that sam but glad you had a good time on satdee and the dunwich and also glad to know that ass has been saved a savage fucking. if i'd have known you were planning to do both i might have said something along the lines of 'i couldn't do that' . heal up mate
jamie B - good to see you on the list. you on to the train ticket situation? let me and jonny know and we'll fill you in on the details.

tim, i spoke with jamie earlier. he's all sorted dude.
-
• #3167
looks like everyone is sorted. might turn my attention to the middle east crisis then unless something comes up on here you'll know where to reach me dude.
possible south drinks later . abi comes home from switzerland so i'll see how she is first -

Have no train ticket at the moment - but there was mention above that someone had a ticket that s/he was not able to use .....

Jamie re. train tickets: you'll need to get a ticket and a bike reservation. Get in contact with balmain. He will be able to advise.

Shaping up to be a classic.
Have a superb TNRC deluxe-shaped adventure : ) -

Intrigued.
Reminds me of another current life scenario.

I'm looking into the tickets now. Keeping the same setup as Dunwich.

I so wish I could do this. Dunwich went well and elbow issues were overcome (it actually feels better now than before--I hope that continues), but I've had to realise that I just have too much to do and can't afford to take the time off. :(
Have a wonderful ride, all--to me, this sounds like a classic night ride concept and a great idea!

Have fun guys - wish I could have committed to this, but I got shafted by work last week and won't be free till the end of the month.
Ride safe!
On my way to the IoW, have fun people, and don't forget safety when the roman bath will begin... :P
