Tnrc 2012

Clearly acting, as I never smile in earnest.

I concede, this is true.

Boo

Ahhh, Southeastern Trains hell. Welcome to my world.

Boo

blargh!

Note: ludwig was toying with the idea of grabbing a murderking as he missed you so much Chris.

Boo!

I've got a fee one on Sunday if anyone fancies a bit of an epic/recon ride (weather permitting)

Boo!

ben, might be in for that, but got to get home for the footie, so whats the approx finishing eta?

^ depends on the weather but probably heading out about 9 and returning about 2ish for a nice pub lunch somewhere.

and surely you're more interested in catching the end of the Amstel Gold?

ben, don't want to drag the football thread into TNRC, but the mighty spurs in FA Cup Semi Final shocker, isn't something I can miss..

What are you reconning?

Chinny?

I'm either going to ride out and back to a northern-flat route (WGC perhaps) or get the train out towards the Chilterns and hit something a little more lumpy. Open to suggestion if you'd prefer one over another.

I could potentially do something north with a meet at Pond Square about 9?

I need to get a clearance pass first though.

if doing the chilterns ben you might want to consider what a clusterfuck it has been getting bikes on trains for TNRC out of marylebone. seriuosly, we had to fuck the fuck off from the chilterns route (which was a beauty) cos of the fuck that is fuck fuck fuck

what was it jonny? I missed that one.

in summary, chilterns is fucked

I may be able to remedy the situation. #vague

the Chilterns wasn't precisely a recon for a new route but it's an interesting idea. I might have a chat with the train company about it... hmm.

Metropolitan line from baker street will take you to Amersham or Chesham and is a good deal cheaper than the Chiltern line.

^ yeah but seats are too bouncy on the metropolitan line. helmets mandatory

This is true of the A-stock but the S-stock should be less so. Also the S-stock has big open spaces perfect for bikes, just not sure if you can put bikes on at Baker Street (you can at Finchley Rd).

I don't go on the Metropolitan line, as you just end up in the middle of nowhere.

Didn't realise the seats were that cramped.
