Tuesday Night Ride Club '09

Bollocks, I can't attach files to a PM.

PM me with an email address and I'll send it that way!

@ clintsmoker I may be in able to join you for the recce...sunday looks better for me.

I might ride this route on Sunday morning on the Ti wonder bike.

@ sam everyone seems really excited by the prospect of this ride including me . i'm going to head out and recce it this weekend maybe if anyone fancys it let me know.

@ clintsmoker I may be in able to join you for the recce...sunday looks better for me.

Sunday's my ride day this weekend - weather permitting.

I'd be happy to tag along on 69.6" fixed - which may mean a bit of walking.

Scarlett if will be your proper ride day I will be happy to step back...the idea of the recce for me is for make work my chicken legs and see if is not to hard(as i belive) in a TNRC rondevu, to be a weight just make me feel worst!

Anyway, here's a new distraction: the first TNRC quiz!!!

Question 1: You're at the back of the group. A bloke in a car is sitting impatiently behind you. You...

A: Let him fucking sit there, and maybe give him the finger for good measure.
B: Shout "single up!", move towards the verge, and wait for him to pass.
C: Shout 'single up!", move towards the verge, and wave the driver through.

Question 2: You're feeling cooked. The group just keeps inching away. Every time they regroup, you arrive last and don't get time to recover properly before they set off again. You...

A: Tell the group you're knackered, in a really whiny voice.
B: Tell the group you're knackered, and ask if the overall pace can be made easier, or if a rider or two (who know the route) would be happy to ride at your pace till the end.
C: Make a superhuman effort, ride up into the middle of the bunch, then slow suddenly and weave with exhaustion before dropping off the back again.
**
Question 3: You've run out of food, and the water situation's not good. You know there are no shops for fucking miles. But you feel pretty good at the moment. You...**

A: Carry on because it's all about HingTFU, isn't it.
B: Tell someone in the group the situation, and accept the kind offers of food and drink.
C: Go past each rider in the group, snatching their bottles from their cages, and food from their pockets, and chucking it all in a ditch. This is a group thing. If one person's hungry and thirsty, then everyone else should be too.

foiled

I knew it!

We're little fish in the world of nightriding, but I suppose it would make a change from their off-road focus.

What's the point though? Who would get the free lights? If you still need one you shouldn't be out on the rides anyway. It's a political minefield. Would I get a little Hope logo next to my avatar?

Meh.

How about other free hope stuff, like some nice hubs or something. I like hubs.

... like, spell out, make explicit, the common sense stuff we expect from the riders in dark of the night.
...

Being fairly inexperienced, I would ask that some good riding ground rules were forthcoming please, for those like me who need some guidance...

Anyway, here's a new distraction: the first TNRC quiz!!!
...

for instance - question 1: B or C? I would think that C is OK if you're really sure that you;re helping a driver see past a small bend, where the road is visibly clear, no doubts, to you. But I know that its pretty dangerous stuff, best stick to B?

Question 2: I was suffering a bit on our penultimate stop (in a village, where Tourer guy passed us) but probably should have done a B. I think I was definitely doing a bit of C. nearer the end.

skully did you see that the tourer guy got his comeuppance further down the road when the night tricked him into thinking that his front fender had come loose.

TNRC is protected by the Gods

and no-one can see him...

I made a point of saying 'hello' again when we went past. Just to hammer it home: we will greet you whether you like it or not.

good work skully. bmmf asked him if he was alright, but didn't slow down for a reply. stylin.

@ - marco, andyp, bmmf - sunday sounds like a good day for the recce. any suggestions for kick off time? i'm cool with early

B: Shout "single up!", move towards the verge, and wait for him to pass.
C: Shout 'single up!", move towards the verge, and wave the driver through.
D: Fall off your bike in surprise, get run over, have no witnesses as everyone else was in front.

Question 2: You're feeling cooked. The group just keeps inching away. Every time they regroup, you arrive last and don't get time to recover properly before they set off again. You...

A: Tell the group you're knackered, in a really whiny voice.

C: Make a superhuman effort, ride up into the middle of the bunch, then slow suddenly and weave with exhaustion before dropping off the back again.
D: Drop off the back slightly, start wailing as if you're being savaged by werewolves, give them all a horrible fright and laugh a lot when they reach you, having turned round to rescue you.

D: Squat a piece of land, start growing nettles and ferns, and live on water from the nearby stream until the crops come good.
