Tnrc 2012

do we need lights? I mean I have lights but they are shit . . cateye plastic jobbie (3 LED) front and exposure flare at back, is that enough?

Descending in the dark is scary.
I advise lights -
I can lend you an LED that's better than nothing but maybe not better than what you have - though both together maybe ok. Someone else probably has a better spare than me.

I'll bring a spare hope to EJ. I put it on charge this morning.

cheers dude! 1X beer token unlocked

You don't happen to know the diameter of your handlebars do you? 26mm ish or fatty 31.8?

next deluxe is UP http://www.lfgss.com/thread92106.html#post3092722

get in!

"Darling, you know we got married yesterday innit? But could I spend the first part of our honeymoon with Benjam, Des and the TNRC crew on the IOW? You know it makes sense."

Reckon I will be missing this one. Gutted

Honeymoon on the IoW, sneak out at midnight, back by dawn, missus none the wiser.

dont think they are oversized, can check if its critical ..

Thatd save me finding the rubber bits to adjust the clamp on the light, or having to bodge something.

checked, its oversized

I promise Des will put out.

in short: no.

bring lights that you are happy to descend with at 40-50kph in pitch black.

sounds like alex has hooked you up though.

Be aware that if you descend at 50kph you risk stealing Ludwigs strava kom, which is possibly more dangerous than the crash you'd have with no lights.

I promise Des will put out.

Boo!

I'll bring a spare light anyway in case it doesn't fit. Vesalius - ditto Simon's comment, be good to see you out there.

I'm really tired after the weekend and wondering what possessed me to put up a route that includes both Barhatch Lane and Whitedown. On the other hand and I might be wrong here, but it would be a shame to miss a TNRCer birthday in full strava face mode.

you guys sound like a serious fast bunch ; ) guess I will be left behind :P

you guys sound like a serious fast bunch

We are all going down hill fast. Which is similar.

My turn to get tickets, see you guys in a bit.

Out.

Still at work.

There's a slim chance I'll get out in time to follow everyone around the route, but if not then enjoy the evening. It looks like a top opportunity for a spin.

i am here standing opp platform 13

on my way

eta 16 mins.

bishop.

Boo!

bit of a fail for me this evening: overtightened my cranks and snapped the self extracting bolt. Luckily SRAM design those FSA Megaexo's to snap the bolt before the crank! £10 replacement already ordered.

One day i might actually make a TNRC without hitch.

Boo!
