2010-09-19 Sun - The Red Kite Ride

Out, crashed at the Alleycat last night, stitches nose, lips, face looking nasty. I can let my binos, they are small and cool.

Have a good one.

Oh, Cynthia... Heal quick, lady!

Looking forward to this!

^ plus one. hope the damage is minimal cynthia. let me know if you need anything.

will get a photo of a red kite for you

Hope you feel/get better soon Cynthia!

Did want to do this ride, but it clashes with the Cyclefit Tour of the Marshes that I endered ages ago. Have a good ride everyone.

Ouch Cynthia! : O
Hope you're not in too much pain today...

Time to go get the bike ready for this one.
See you all at the station.

ouch indeed.
heal up C.

good luck to all you twitchers for tomorrow.

Could someone possibly PM me a contact number so I can see where abouts you guys are come about 10.30am? Managed to get a snakebit puncture hitting a pothole on Friday and being stupid didn't get to the shops before they closed today. Will have to wait until 10 for fucking Halford to open. FFFFFFFfffuuuu...

Hopefully will be able to meet you all at Cookham or might head out to Frieth/Turville if I'm too late for that.

I'm out

of ideas as to how to wind pistanator up except doing this crap post.

I'm in like sin, win, flynn, bin, yin and gin. Got mini binos, minimal things to carry otherwise. Oh, and a fixed wheel bicycle to ride. +1 for the 48x19.

Hope you're not too hurt, diapo. Really sorry you're not going to be with us.

^ nice one ben. will be cool to have you along. you can dr doolittle those red kite mofos for us.

busseynova. pm to follow with number. but reckon on cookham about half 11

I had a dally about today on the bike for the first time in ages and the old shoulder ain't quite up to it. Out. Gutted.

So sorry to hear that Cynthia. Hope you will be better soon.

48x19 on.

Feeling better today.

Just having a cup of tea and a bowl of cheerios with banana on top, then a shower and I am READY!

Well in Joe!

Porridge, wank, dump, shower and I'll see you at Paddington about 9.15am....

Short notice but can someone do me a favour...print out the maps

The colour on my printer's ran out and the b&w just looks a big mess

Thanks

Where are you based? Ewanmacdonald and myself will be heading out towards Marlow at 10, with the aim of meeting everyone on the road. We could meet up if you're somewhere along the way. Will PM my number.

Just woke up. Epic hangover. I fail. Etc. I borrowed binoculars and everything... Ffffuuuu

Have an ace one, peeps.

loved every mile of that. Wonderful group of riders, top banter, top miles. Saw the kites and got some very close swoop past action. Shame about the blow out but massive thanks to those with the boots, you saved me and I owe you a drink. Really enjoyed meeting the lads from oxford way and Joe Smith a strong rider soon to be making his TNRC debut I'm sure. Loads of quality jokes and fun. ACE

Only just saw this, but thanks anyway. Quality day, really enjoyed every mile of that. Really great to meet you all, my first group riding experience and I loved it.

nice to meet you too tim. no worries, on the boot - glad I could help. will definitely try and get out on the next tnrc.

good riding with you all. quality group of people.

thanks to pisti (and advisors) for organising.

cheers

Massive thanks to pisti and the great company of everybody else. My winter bike is sorted. Just bought an Eddy Merckx of a time trialist in Purley.

what a perfect little ride that. half a century of great swooping lanes and great swooping birds. even the route from the pub (can't remember what it was called - Brakspears or something Joe?) into henley and on to reading was pretty wicked.

there was something old school forum ride about today. can't put my finger on it but just had a nice randomness and plenty of good banter. nice to meet our forum brethren from wycombe and oxford and thereabouts. arducius, i didn't recognise you in the dry!

nice one graham for putting another good ride together. top marks.

and you made me laugh when we were rolling down vauxhall bridge road and we saw that arsenal fan. what a melt.

oh, and the two snake bites were all forgotten about after the two Gs. cheers fellas.

Porridge, wank, dump, shower and I'll see you at Paddington about 9.15am....

Priceless!

Glad it went well.

Really sorry you couldn't make it Josh. You and your bike would have made it even more old school. Hope all goes well with the old shoulder.

Nice riding with you guys today. I'm impressed I managed to meet Graham without getting once called a melt, or a wetlip or told to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

:D
