Spotted...

I saw, for maybe the fifth time, some chap that was a team captain for either Oxford or Cambridge, forget which, on University Challenge, whose breadth of knowledge was truly intimidating. They won the thing. Solid North London Jewish upbringing, sadly no bike.

Two spots this morning at about 8ish...tall-ish guy in a forum cap going down Green Lanes towards Wood Green

Spotted same bloke going back on Green Lanes at about 6.20pm tonight. Guessing you work Wood Green direction. You're getting a DAS next time I see you!

Sorry for the no skid Nelaii! Caught me completely off guard, never usually see anyone on my way home

A chap with a black Rapha or Rapha-esque top DAS'd me as I was giving it beans around Regent's. I was on the sprint bit of laps with a mate so had no time to skid! Checked shirt, red and white Bagaboo on a black Leader. Gutted, as it was my first DAS shout... excluding Ollie when I was leaving my first SE's ages ago.

clefty powering past the nodder throngs like boudicca on a brompton around vauxhall bridge earlier. i bellowed a das but you were probably in hammersmith by the time the sound waves reached you.

rarrr! foxxeh lady

Hello! Was riding my black Marin Inverness with green rims. I'm usually there around 9 or a little later during my Shepherds Bush to Paddington commute. Nice to see a LFGSS jersey in West - it's the first i've seen!

Oh, that was you. Was confused because I think we passed one junction down from where you said, as I was about to turn right and spin down the hill. Don't hesitate to DAS next time, and I shall fall off my bike like a master. Failing that, like Iain.

Ah, sorry. Geography isn't my strong point - yes, it was before you turned right and i was waiting to go straight over. Shall indeed give you a DAS next time!

Aw, darn. You should have come to the pub instead! Assumed I would see you there, but no. Rained off?

I waited for about another 10 minutes in the same spot for 6pt to arrive, but you didn't come back. What sort of laps are you doing - a combination of the inner and outer circles?

No, it's Afghanistan.

H_2 SO_4?

No it's tchaikovsky's swan lake.

Hull... Hull? No, it's art,

i was walking past this guy tightening his seatpost earlier on tooley street and i muttered a quiet "do a skid" so the dude jumps on his bike does a slow circle into oncoming and then back into his lane to get speed and does a quality skid. well played to you

We were alternating (anti-clockwise) a steady outer circle lap, with a fast outer circle lap, followed by a steady outer circle lap then sprint from York Bridge around the Inner Circle (clockwise) until Chester Road. Wash, rinse, repeat. Bloody knackered.

^and I saw you leaving the park just as I was heading in, but 4? lanes of traffic between us meant a DAS was pointless. Always nice to see a familiar face though :)

No Rich, the other North London Jewish brainbox who swept all before him, responding to Paxman’s introduction with a jaunty little ‘hullo’ each time. Reckon his name was Max. I remember your idiot-savant as well.

Girl on pink Mercian who I see pretty much daily around about the British Museum or Charlotte Street – lets nod at each other next time.
