Number 19 is free now as I can't make it feel free to fill the gap

Shame you cannot make it Tikka. Bernie's inn...... ne-ne-ne-nineteen.

Oh crap i can see a major fail looming. I'm off to Wandsworth to collect a new set of Fulcrum wheels for my mountain bike. Yum Fulcrum. Then fully serving the bike. The prospect of a long icy ride followed abruptly by a 7am start to go mountain biking in Wales is becoming less appealing.There is another space free.Have fun on the ice rink.

little bit cheeky, but does anyone have a spare arm-warmer I can borrow this evening that they can bring along? the scar on my arm's been going some scary funky colours lately...

If there aren't any spares going cut the toes off a thick pair of socks! Or actually buy some arm warmers. They're totally worth it and don't cost much at all.

There's buckets of snow here in Leeds! has it settled in london, it could make the ride interesting!!!

There's no snow in East London. Not sure about the rest!

@Fluff - I don't usually endorse E*ans but these are cheap and you can pick them up today.

No just raining loads at the moment .
But checking the forecast for this evening and its dry and clear !!

ta all. i have some cheap shitty ones already, just wondering if maybe i should wear something that worked for this one. perhaps i should invest, it's not like the cold's going away tomorrow. or wear both on one arm.

in the cold, nearly the whole of the middle part of my arm is blotchy purple and white radiating from the flesh around the elbow (where the scar is). stiff, obviously and also itches like a bastard. anyone around who can explain this?

I am no doctor fluff but maybe try some E45 cream could be good for the annoying itch I use on my hands as working outdoors they get pretty roughed up .
But the white part ohh hope the cream may help !!

i am really looking forward to this!!

jimbilly just emerged looking like he'd been through a war (a rolllerrrr war) and he says he may not come tonight! some peer pressure might help.

Peer pressure ... Come on you can do it ! Do it ... Do it .. Do it...
They say Thursday is when the weekend commences !!! Do it !

ha ha, perfect.

You wont be cool unless you do......

despite what it look like right now, tonight going to be dry.

only rain in the morning but by lunchtime it be sunny.

BBC begs to differ.

I'm sure BBC will decide to put the rain of for tonight.

well it's a slight relief to see it clearing up after such a crap start to the day - woke up in darkness to sound of the rain tipping it down outside.

i'm really busy at work today so I might not post a whole lot. I've decided that the best course of action is to say I'll be at the polo court tonight no matter what. Last night was near perfect riding back from the Rollapaluza so hopefully it will be like that. Ice will be just as offputting as heavy rain cos we don't want any injuries so let's hope it stays like this now... anyway, if the weather is suddenly awful again at 11pm then I'll ride down, we'll see who turns up and then make a decision at 11.30.

Really looking forward to it guys!!

(ps don't be too hard on Hillbilly Kattt - they all gave far too much last night in the name of rowdy entertainment.. :))

little bit cheeky, but does anyone have a spare arm-warmer I can borrow this evening that they can bring along? ...

Fluff, I'll bring along the nice stretchy Northwave jobbies to the Coach and Horses. Think I'll be there about 9.15.

dropout, you still bringing those chain tensioners for me, as I really need them, chain loses tension within twenty minutes of riding.
let me know, also I might need to use your magic c02 canister again...

Jim's should be exhausted after last night's Rollapalluza. His limbs were in constant frenetic action...and that was just his drinking arm!

Good call, Andrew, chain tensioneers on the way to Coach and Horses too.
