Spotted...

Some guy on a red and black BMC in pink T-Mobile kit making sure I worked hard around Regent's outer circle by sharing the strain for a lap. Holla if you're on here! Especially enjoyed the little downhill sprint at the end.

Sounds like a French guy I met at Regent's, called Thomas. I've tried to persuade him to join the forum but I don't think he has, yet. Nice fella though, and fast as anything.

Slaaaaaaack chain on Rosebury Avenue today. Going super slow.

He was drafting me for 1/4 lap, then we switched a few times. Guy was indeed fast! Kept up with him until the long downhill sprint had 'finished', then he became a little pink spot on the horizon very quickly.

fixedcheese on bishopsgate this evening, wearing lycra (^now I know why)
you whizzed past me going in the opposite direction in a gap between two buses- I only realised it was you after you'd gone past, at which point I decided to yell something, got halfway through "hey" (forgot your name) then realised I should DAS so got halfway through that before remembering the cheese thing so ended up shouting "hheeedoaski-cheese!" at a taxi

Oh Hai!
hheeedoaski-cheese = the new TSC = the new DAS

Feet of fury on the Seven Sisters Rd, spinning many hundreds of RPMs to get past a dump truck outside that ex-cinema church at the start of the one way. Hair up and headphones on it looked like Saadat, didn't get quite close enough to communicate.

Aye, twas me! Shame I didn't see you. I don't see anyone on my commute...

Saw Jaqui heading west on Peckham road, just past Camberwell arts college..

Clocked you too late to shout or wave.. Hello!

Good seeing Clever Pun this morning, HoP mate, remember.

Me, failing spectacularly this morning, much to the amusement of the "I am become death" taxi man behind me.

So there I was at some traffic lights trackstanding (like a boss), much the the satisfaction of the nodders behind who must have surely been dazzled by the wizardry I was performing in front of their eyes. Light turns green, I put the power down, POW. Rear end completely locks, I screetch to a halt, unable to escape my clips and crash into the ground like a Jafooli.

Having picked the bike up, I discover that the awesome power within my legs had pulled my rear wheel forward falling out of the dropouts and jammed itself against the chainstay. Spectacular fail on my part for not tightening the nuts enough last night.

What a twat.

^ Heh, I came close to that, once. Fortunately for me, it was on a bike with track ends, so the tyre just ended up rubbing against the left stay while I inched towards the kerb.

Rode with a friendly chap on a single speed (same bike as Bobbo - black frame, orange v's and logo) from Sth Ealing to Notting Hill, cheers for showing me the short cut!

A pleasure as always; yeah I'm pretty tempted by that and have been for a while, must get myself sorted for it. Legs are trashed today after kicking in some distance this week. I've let myself get soft, need to bring back the pain.

Don't invite him FFS, he'll either turn up on a brompton or boris bike and embarrass the shit out of everyone (or me at any rate, and frankly that's all I care about).

^^ Relief

You know what maybe I can make it tonight

It's almost like you lot wait for the weeks I can't do.

Was thinking what kind of idiot has bars that narrow for their torso? Only to discover it was an idiot I know!

Danns on Clerkenwell Rd. Riding with a lady.

Nice to see you mate. Don't ride with girls too much, you might get cooties or girls disease.

And then it all became clear...
:P
