East Beers - Wednesdays - The Chesham Arms E9 6DU

Right, I reckon it's pub o clock.

Good to see some hardy souls braving the rain. PJs it's been too long.
Perhaps the dark, wet streets, and drunk was not the best time to use clipless pedals for the first time, but I didn't crash or fall over, woo!

it was the night the rain came down and turnout was low.

but everybody there was v cool.

and gina looked great in her new lcef hat. she chose a pink one.

and good to see pajamas back in town. we were smiling as we listened to toots.

forecast is good.

so lets do stage 6 this week.

spread the news.

see you wednesday.

Stage 6 baby.
If the weather's like this tomorrow this could be one of the last warm sunny Wednesday evenings this year. Make the most of it people

Seems it might be compass ride week.
Anybody want to lead one from Trafalgar Square?

ANYWAY, quite apart from the Tour of East London, East Beers has a NEW Time Trial Champion!

Following the classic 2-roundabout course (as opposed to the 1 pint course) I can now announce that LYNX has set a new record time of 1:44.7

The gauntlet has been well and truly laid down....

was a bit effin noisy though want it ?

I think I have made worse noises than that :-)

Our arrival back at the Inn On The Park was truly heroic, with fireworks being let off, someone's fence catching fire, the fire brigade and police being called...

Then there was the cabbie who called us a pair of stupid cunts presumably because we had lights, were indicating clearly, were faster than him and inconvenienced him in no way. I'd hate to think what he would have called us had we been riding like nutters.

Oh and as far as the next tour stage goes, I much prefer the treasure-cat style to high-speed (or in my case low speed) blasts. There's a chance that local knowledge may beat outright pace, so it mixes the field up a bit.

both those true dat.
