Sunday Morning Tuesday Night Ride Club (SMTNRC) 09/10

Thats a big 10/4.

65.75" is more medium than big.

:-)

Last time i checked it was going to be -8ºC with wind chill, and an 80% chance of precipitation between the hours of 6am and 8am. Anyone mind if I tag along in a citroen C2 instead of fixed? :)

**Sunday 20th December '09 - The "Hansel & Gretel Follow The *Seasonal Toast*crumbs" Ride**

Route is a secret.

Train Out - Waterloo @ 8.32am, arriving Effiingham Junction 9.24am

Train Back - Effingham Junction @ some time around noon (trains are :06 and :36).

£4.50 for Groupsave4, £5.95 for Network Card or Groupsave3.

jonny has requested that people bring *"*a mince pie, some fresh legs and the love of jesus in their pretty green eyes", though I would add it's a non-denominational ride, and as such, bumheads are more than welcome.

hhhhmmmmmm plays done...parties over......let the ride begin. weather looks very bad for sunday and we all know the countryside is way way colder and icier than the big smoke. fingers crossed cuz i just got the love of JC in my pretty black eyes specially for this one at no small cost

It's not looking good. Part of me thinks, "woo-hoo, how exciting and adventurous", but that part of me quickly gets silenced when my pelvis hits concrete.

i saw a nodder hit the deck because of ice by the nursery. needless to say she didn't have 21 other riders riding right up her ass....made me think though. i've been riding to work at 7.a.m and although it's cold it aint a problem. ice is another issue though.

tim, i walked down nursery drive in banbury this morning. as you know, it is the longest road in the world. this time at least made bearable by pulling out some sweet ice queen moves. triple salchow ftw.

bmmf. lets speak on saturday afternoon and try and call this.

yes, i have just taken a large delivery of SKHAs but not keen to award them posthumously

4.37pm…

4.37pm…

damn, busy then, can we make it 4.38pm. if you can't then i will try and rearrange my prior engagement.

seriously, everyone. the call is being make at 4.37:30. if you can't access the forum after that time on saturday then please ensure you have the number of someone who can. by number i mean phone number, not that you have the measure of them or anything. you have an actual phone number for them.

i hope i made myself clear.

i'm kind of looking forward to this being called off... my bad

As I was walking Tynan to nursery this morning, the temperature started to dip during those 10 minutes, and you could practically see standing water in the gutters icing over with each passing second. We nearly went arse over tit a few times.

Getting the fear now…

That could be because the temperature dips ever so slightly at sunrise.

I am full of useless shit like this FWIW.

Exciting. I like ice and sliding in to other mens bottoms at 20mph.

Need more info, please.

Lets ask Steve.

Hmmm.

I'm out; apologies & cetera. I'm just not really enjoying riding in this weather - I'm doing it very gingerly, which I don't think will sit well with a fast group ride. Hope those of you that make it have a great time.

^ fair call j

if we go out in this weather i am not envisaging a very fast ride at all. a fun one all the same.

oh, and hopefully a snow ball fight

and some sledging

and a good old bit of carol singing on the train on the way back

^ I hear Ved's got a singing voice to rival Gabriel...

What? Peter? If so, I'm not coming.
