Movember in Norwich

Hey, stop talking about me like I'm not here! A Movember cap would be awesome, maybe with a 'tache motif?

Even when you are there, you aint properly! Hahahahah.

Well it will be a prize for the M-vmbr A-cat, so something moustache related. Leave it to me smart arse!

May even contain my moustache in the seams! How's that for movemberish!

Whoa, you're blowing my mind, man..

Hey guys, how's my moustache coming along?

Dude.. just.. dude..

As good as Doms, sparkys is slightly better!

How about from this angle?

:(

To steer us back towards where we think the track might be, here's the update I just sent out through the Facebook event, for the benefit of any non-users.

The momentous date is nigh. Moustaches are being twirled, bicycles of all sizes greased and lubed. Ladies and gents, rev your legs.

A little heads-up for the festivities then..

We will gather at the Forum at 6 on Tuesday. Ride sheets will be circulated, upon which will be easy clues to the location of 7 checkpoints around the city.

The starting pistol will be fired* not earlier than 6.30, and we will scatter to the four winds**. Get to a checkpoint, get your ridesheet marked by a marshal, and continue to the next checkpoint. Any order is acceptable.

Once you have 7 marks, ride on to the Bicycle Shop, and victory***.

Some manner of prizes, ranging from frivolous to marginally useful, will be presented in one or more of the following categories at the aptly named Handlebar, downstairs in the Bicycle Shop itself:

WINNER
RUNNER(S) UP
BEST MOUSTACHE (REAL OR OTHERWISE)
SARTORIAL EXCELLENCE (yes, dressing up is mo' definitely encouraged)
HAVER OF A GREAT TIME

To avoid disappointment it is recommended that you bring your own prize, to present to yourself in a category of your choice.

LEST WE FORGET, this is a fund-raising event. Many of us have sported moustaches for the month of Mo, with the aim of a) making us look funny and b) raising awareness for men's health issues, particularly prostrate cancer. A modest charge of £2 will be levied for the aforementioned ride sheets, but any further donations would make us all feel better about ourselves - and there will be a collection box at the Bicycle Shop after the ride.

Many thanks, hope to see you on Tuesday, and congratulations for reading all the way to the end****.

*Metaphorically. No actual pistols will be fired. Please leave your firearms at home.
**The best wind is the one at your back.
***The only condition for victory is returning with bike and body in one piece. You may, however, wish to separate bike from body when you arrive.
****This is not the end. THIS is the end.

I THINK I SO FUNNY

So the meeting place and start time have changed?

Supply own prizes...

Sparky: Always said 6 for a 6.30 start didn't I? Changed to meeting at forum as the Cycle Norwich guy said forum when he plugged it and also there's not much space to gather outside the bike shop.

Mark: a) there will be some prizes, I was kind of joking about supplying your own prizes & b) its for charity ffs!

Any other constructive criticism (apart from the fact I spelt prostate wrong)?

No need to strop

Not in a strop. Only a bit of fun innit (long as the snow doesn't last)?

I can't not wait!!!

I'm in if there's snow. Break out the MTB and romp to victory.

How's about a whole Fuckin street?

Yes well. We'll meet at the forum anyway.

If anyone knows anyone who'd be up for marshalling, send them my way. Just had one drop out so in need of 3 folks.

I'd love to help... but I'd prefer to win, y'know. Maybe next time :/

Oh I wouldn't want to get a marshal at the expense of a rider..

I'm cancelling, I've been ill since yesterday morning and haven't got the energy.

Sorry dudes!

Sorry dudes!

As the first to reply, this means I win by default. Thanks guys, better luck next time!

Second. Where's my prize?

Is anybody still up for a meeting of gentlemen with moustaches (and ladies who like gentlemen with moustaches, and men without moustaches(not liked by the ladies)) at the Bicycle shop?
I'll buy the best 'tache a beer.

I'm going to make sure I come in fourth place so I land that sweet, sweet cable.

Second. Where's my prize?

You got ahead of yourself, man! Now the cable is going to some other chump.
