Tnrc 2013

^fucking spiritual lover.

I'll be sticking to my plans of riding round and round in SE London tonight. The descision might have gone the other way if I didn't have to go home to swap bikes and swap tyres before coming back to Euston.

Enjoy the lanes if yo do make it out there.

Come on, who wants to be #3 and/or #4 for a reccy tonight?

Zanda, easy recovery spin after LEL? Me can not do this evening.

haha the last thing zanda will be wanting to see now is his bike i think! also i think his mrs will have something to say about ur suggestion!

It's gonna be a beautiful, it's gonna be a beautiful night...

who's in for the foursome?!

i'm expecting to have time to attend Store Street, so will sort out four of those Innovation ales!!

well done that man.

i can't believe it's one of the nicest days of the year and we have only 3 people interested!

Strong work.

Just waiting to see if Chalfie can arrange something on the pass / lights front...

I'll buy the groupsave, so have your ~£8 or ~£6 ready, depending on whether we're 3 or 4. Ticket office is front left of building, so we'll congregate near there. If things go pear-shaped regarding the 19h04, we have the 19h24 as a back-up, but let's aim for the earlier one as planned. I'd try not to be any later than 18h45.

Some of the views will be great :)

We need to get this light situation sorted. I think I've got 2 x 1AA torches with a decent beam that'll last an hour to 90 minutes; possibly with cheap mounts too. I'll email home and ask to have some batteries on charge.

Let me know if these are definitely required (1 each, howrad & Chalfie) or if you're able to blag an alternative. I'd aim to have ~100 lumens on your front for the final hour of the ride, just to be safe.

my person is without countryside-visible lighting - so aside from commuters (Cateye blinking stuff) - i'm lightless, although could possibly nip home first - returning with headtorch and lighter bicycle - if departing the office early enough (is it an off-road route though?);

most likely will be in need of light!

just re-read appropriately,

There isn’t any off-road, but after a night of torrential rain, the lanes at the foot of various slopes had been transformed into what looked like dried up river beds.

It's not off-road, but there's a slightly technical bit near the end when you'll definitely want more than a blinky.

I'm going to slip out at 4pm to get home and make sure charged batteries, torches and lights are definitely sorted.

Some of us have been known to limp through the majority of a TNRC in emergency situations just sharing someone else's beam, so whatever happens, we'll be fine.

alternative suggestion: meetup an hour earlier - could AirTime make that?!

I can't believe this is fucking happening. I'm so excited.

"Wassup ma beeetchiz!"

We can't meet up an hour earlier. We're not allowed on the train until after 7pm.

oh - sorry - of course!!

do love this groupsave thingie - the train companies encouraging us to be social when going on train-station start-point rides!

You can get behind me 1500 lumens!

booo yaaaaa

yeh - that tactic can work quite nicely
