Tnrc 2011

got a spare 16t sat on my desk but guessing that really doesn't help!

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?

Booked some money from the Post Office (they did no commission and an exchange rate of one English pound to one IOW dorrah). Picking it up after 2 today.
Not sure you will get that rate on the ferry but you should find a stale cold sausage roll and a ham sandwich with no ham.

You don't need a passport if you have a photocard driving license as they have some special dispensation from Brussels. Failing that you can get a signed chit from any old lady with less than three teeth and you should be fine.

Although they ride on the same side don't forget to swap your brake levers over as they have the front brake on the left over there.

Looks like we have just missed the biggest event on the Island's calander though: http://www.garlic-festival.co.uk/ bugger.

you ever seen elephant garlic?

Blah, blah, blah, garlic festival

See, told you it was France.

onions isn't it with the french?

he could put it on upside down no?

Never understood the French, why do they need to send a man on a bicycle round to collect onions off people, and why employ someone so scared of vampires he has replaced his front light with garlic.

he could put it on upside down no?

91t cog?

shouldn't be any rain.

There might be a chance of a shower between midnight and 1am.

people don't shower in france sam you know that

A french shower

think everyone else will be fixed.

I might be on the geared bike - just really enjoying riding it at the mo'.

Have a good one. I am envious. If you get soaked I will be even more envious. Here in Bonn 35 Celsius with hail and thunderstorms forecast for later.

I wish I could be on this one too. Looks like a nice light breeze with a blanked of white cloud. Beautiful. Enjoy!

Have a dry old time, Deluxers!

fantastic!

^^ sweet. apart from the flat tyre at freshwater of course. oh, and the thirty hills. oh, and it might be hard to get breakfast at bembridge at half one in the morning. oh, and the wind behind, no need to pedal. though dave4 might get something out of it.

oh, and i hope we make it to east cowes before 8.

seriously. cheers for all the well wishes folks. mashton, be careful what you wish for dude

Have a fun ride guys, after riding round today I am gonna be drinking beer and playing darts at the Village Inn in Bembridge instead.

Watch out for some sketchy points with quite greasy roads and slippy horse shit, especially in the more tree covered sections.

Cheers. Get the beers in, we'll be past at half one-ish.
