Tnrc 2011

i have officially confirmed wednesday with work as a lieu day meaning i am 100% in for tomorrow night.

excited.

Weather forecast looks good, wet ride to work, nervous all day, glorious clear skies all night.

Getting excited about this.

Not taking:
Mudguards
Waterproof
Prisoners

last night was awesome (weather wise) hoping for more of the same.

Have a great time on IOW. It's lovely. I'm off to Canada for a few weeks, but I will come out with you all again sometime when I'm back.

will we be needing locks?

is there a spa at the end?

thanks.

I'm holidaying in bembridge so may well join you tomorrow night. Only thing that might stop me is that I'm riding round the island tomorrow morning so I'll have to see how I feel after that. Are you going clockwise and are you following the signed round the island route?

steve - no spa but locks might be a good idea. we can leave them in Ryde for the ride and the use them to lock up when we go for breakfast.
Calleva - clockwise and following signs. Hope to see you there

enjoy Canada MsChris. see you upon your return

bbc weather man just assured me that although it will piss down all day in london today the weather is going to be a fine 15 degrees for the ride.

looking forward to this one. don't even care if it rains

though it's easy to say that now i have finally dried off from the ride in to work

steve, looking forward to seeing the Voss but you might want to consider sticking to the steamroller tonight - think everyone else will be fixed. your call of course dude and no biggie either way you are gonna love it out there

ooh.

decisions.

have dropped the gearing back to the regular and got a dope new wheel on the fixed.
hmmm.

ok, fixed it is.

Ooof some wet n wild action awaits the TNRC folk, have a good one dudes.

Damn, forgot to bring my passport in with me, I'll have to pop home at lunch and get it. And is it better to change money before or can you do it on the ferry?

passport? why?

I am riding my aluminium-rattling-stick this time, stiffer but better for rain and climbing, yes.

aluminium stiffness is the way to go diapo. let's make some ally noise out there tonight

optimistic me, I am even bringing my bikini in case I can get a bit of a swin in the dawn

passport? why?

Isle of Wight's in France init? Why else would we take a ferry?

shouldn't be any rain.
anybody got a 20T sprocket they could bring? I've got a 19 or a 21. 19 is going to hurt, 21 is a bit spinny and don't think I could keep up with you all.

if no 20 then i would say stick with the 19. we ain't gonna be in any rush. gonna cruise round the island and have to be ultra alert on those small lanes and looking for the signs which are sometimes up in the bushes etc.

gonna be awesome.

cynthia - i have brought my bikini too. for headwear x
