I was really hoping I'd have the new Demon for this ride, it's just back from the painters and he's not happy with the paint ... :-(

Boo.

It's now being sent off to the chaps who have recently been doing Ricky Feather's paint ... their stuff looks stunning. Delivery is likely to be in about 3 weeks (I've only waited a year already ...).

Can we postpone the ride for a month ;)

Number 32, Crumb, is out unfortunately, was talking to him about it earlier at polo.

W/SW types, anyone going to be riding in via Wandsworth town type area? - would be nice to have some company en route, or even better, to have someone to come and hammer on my door and make sure I drag my sorry ass out of bed

one of me favourite rides - I'm going to target this as me 'ooooh all me bones have knitted back together - wahey' ride

Exactly the same reason im tempted to do this too....

Im still trawling through the pages...any idea of mileage? My bones might not be quite ready for a long one by next week...

Ignore that^ its a social dip in dip out.....

It's a really social ride at a slow friendly pace. From memory my mileage last year including to and from the start and where we diped out was around 28 miles.

I had some bike issues last year which resulted in the choice of carbon road bike or BMX. I chose the latter.

@Object

I've long wondered whether your forum name is pronounced as "an object" - noun, or "to object" - verb?

... my life is full of such trifling guff

Let me clear that up for you. It's pronounced object.

Nope, it's pronounced 'Object'.

Nope, it's pronounced 'Object'.

I object!

As my day to day bike has been nicked, I expect I'll be on the alu/carbon Wilier. A bit of overkill considering the ride, but the alternative is my hybrid that I've been fucking around with for months, but hasn't been rideable since Feb. I still need to make it SS with a conversion kit and singleator, chop the chain down to size, true the wheels and adjust the brakes which squeal horribly. Not likely to get done in a week given that I'm at work all week with an interview on Wednesday and the Xmas party on Thursday.

^ so carbon/alu wilier be it! As long as you're not one of those "aw, not goin' out cos there's a puddle somewhere in london" types!

I'm not, but LittleHeather is, and it's both of us or neither. Weather forecast is good so fingers crossed: http://www.weather.com/weather/wxdetail/UKXX0085?dayNum=7

Nope, it's pronounced 'CUNT!'.

That's more like it.

I'm not, but LittleHeather is....

Yep, sorry. He speaks the truth there. Forecast looks like it's a goer though!

But it's happened to us all, the puddle thing.

^^ serves him right for riding on the pavement

And not wearing a helmet

don't talk to me about helmets

Ian, I'll leave you to decide what it "Object" means.

Hillbilly. Yes.

Day-Moe, You owe me something for losing your bet.

I'm guessing 4 pages.

I'll leave you to decide what it "Object" means.

It's the short version of obstreperous. Obviously.
