Tuesday Night Ride Club '09

Is that one above what you wore for the Dragon Ride? ;p

Yeah, want it back?

If it fits you might as well keep it.

@clintsmoker - we should be there no later than 8 pm. I've yours and jonny's numbers in my mobile so will call if we're delayed at all.

Cushdy, see you all at 8pm.

Mashton... Clapham will be 8 mins later...so 19.18
Will keep an eye out 4 ya

mashton - we should be at the back of the train, in the last carriage

Have fun tonight ladies and gents! Will be thinking of you as I stuff my face with tapas.

^ yeah... WHATEVA

happy birthday to the lady

Have fun tonight, you lot.

Yeah.

I will be at home in my pinafore doing the housework and dreaming of HTFU.

i just can't stop thinking of bagels

swine flu?!

atchoo

Probably caught it from family in Dulwich (kids go to that school.

Get better soon, Guy--hope it's nothing serious, but not being able to move sounds worrying!

awesome return to the ever beautiful surrey hills tonight. a strong group of eleven took them and made it back in time with no mishaps. except polkinghorn getting over familiar with a hedgerow - glad that turned out okay. great to have surrey debutants claus, mashton and tika out there tonight.

sam, cheers for hooking up with us out there.

and the train back was a good laugh as ever. cheers l & gs. i have to say i really enjoyed that tonight. i don't think anything beats that route for a little jaunt in the countryside at night.

I live in East Dulwich. About .2 mi from Alleyns.

top quality stuff all round. we still make the trains even when 5 go missing, that left turn is the killer! but martin - how many times are you going to ride this route before you actually memorise it? :D still the king of the spin though mate.
well done to tika and mashton - good stuff out there tonight. Tika was never going to get lost with those brakes acting like a swiss cowbell and mashtons knuckle tan meant he was always visible.

chilterns in two weeks L & G's - looking forward to it already

I know I know but it was dark....
Thanks again all for another great ride especially to Tim and Jonny for pulling it together and Andy for leading us out from the smoke to the beautiful hills.
Lets TNRC it again in 2

Blame me!

*note to self, left at the first V, right at the second...

Really enjoyed that last night. Thanks as ever Jonny and Tim, and well done to everyone for giving those hills some welly. Scarlett, hope you are feeling better soon.

Polkinghorn, you should buy yourself a lottery ticket this week!

I've got the not-so-secret-anymore project to perk me up, Sam :)

Allergies have gone apeshit this morning - I look like I've been smoking a shitload of skunk. Seeing as I've got the day off, and I'm visiting someone who has enough growing lamps and hydroponics to maintain a supply for an entire former Soviet state, I may as well spend the day smoking a shitload of skunk.

Looking forward to the next Tuesday Night Sponge Club. I'm going to sponge any motherfucker that so much as looks at me funny, ya get me.

Awesome night people. Well done to Mashton and Tika for tackling the toughest TNRC with such aplomb. Claus was also a debutant but he smoked those hills.

It was a night of mystery though - the missing left hand turn, the ghost of the headless mountain biker and my phantom badger. Strange times.

Thanks to everyone for their patience as I fixed two punctures. I must have had a curse last night.

Big thanks to J&T for a brilliant route and all others for great company. Looking forward to explore some of the other TNRC routes to come. Will be off this weekend to to ride the Passo dello Stelvio on Sunday, fingers crossed the weather holds and it does not turn into my very own Andy Hampsten experience.

The Stelvio from the north (the harder side);

Enjoy it Claus, it's a beautiful climb but very, very long.

great to have you out there claus, and wicked to see that picture of the Stelvio. have a great ride dude.

bmmf - news of your new project will not leave the carriage. until it seen roaring up the hills of north london anyway. look forward to the 'deluge' later this week.

Thanks to everyone for their patience as I fixed two punctures. I must have had a curse last night.

It was no sweat, Cadel.

Salut!

Echoing all sentiments from above...
Another quality evening out brought to us by J&T travel tours.
Well done Mashton, Tika and Claus - see, they ain't no thang.
Gav... near death experience elegantly shrugged off with a "yeah...whatever". The driver looked whiter than Mashton's knuckles.
Thanks for the batteries Andy. mumbles flippin' M&S...mutter.
@ BringMeMySponge... sure you didn't snaffle some crack afterall.
(hope you recover fully soon)

TuesdayNIghtSpongeClub rolls on...

couldn't make it last night as...blah blah blah....
i'm jealous of you people in those hills.

The Stelvio from the north (the harder side);

Enjoy it Claus, it's a beautiful climb but very, very long.

Jesus talk about understatement Claus - that's a climb...

great tnrc as always. now for all this talk about nde... it was completely under control. I was simply executing the dump the bike in the bushes manoeuvre (DBB) due to prevailing traffic conditions.
