What's wrong with bathing in the big watery thing near the beach?

-1

Always sounds like a good idea before-hand but when I get there it just looks a bit grey and cold. Tho watching oliver negotiating the pebble beach barefoot a couple of years back was the height of comedy.

Pint + Fryup > Cold Radioactive Brine

^ boardshorts over bibs, flip flops and a tee shirt in the back pocket.

@sparky, if you're going to norwich after, I may tag along, since I'm heading a little further up after that to get to the rural depths of north norfolk..

It really wasn't that bad.

It was a lesser torture. Became a greater one when it started raining, so that we could see cooling water dropping all around us but couldn't feel the benefit.

^ until we all rode home in it

The more the merrier.

Despite being heard to say something along the lines of "why the fuck would you do this overnight it's a stupid bloody idea and I'm never doing it again" at the beach last year, I will in fact be doing it again. I will do something to try and counteract the tiredness this year though, either an early start, sleep schedule adjustment, or modafinil.

Just have a really late night the night before. It worked well for me. If I remember rightly I stayed up till 3.30am watching chasing legends.

what is this that you speak of!?

what is this that you speak of!?

It's a stimulant, commonly used to treat narcolepsy and occasionally ADHD. You can take it and it'll keep you awake for a while. Similar effects to Ritalin.

This Dunwich Dynamo is all about the EPO

I might park my Cayenne on the beach so that when I arrive I can get my manservant to load the Cervelo on the back and then drive me home.

Oops, sorry, wrong thread. Thought this was TNRC.

youre Xander and i claim my £5!

Definitely up for this again. In fact I think it was the last forum ride I did :/

Is there likely to be a coach like last year?

Also I'm up for helping make the video L.A.U.R.A - didn't record it at all last year as was focussed on completing the thing!

I've got my extra-oxy-bloood in the fridge ready for the ride

Ephedrine for me

Is Andy G around here these days? I seem to remember some of his special recipe Dr Ferrari's Astana Beans being circulated at the start a few years back - I think the active ingredient in those might have been ephedrine rather than just the minty filling.

Riding it on my fixed-wheel Moulton. Need to find a 10k-ish loop from Euston to bring it up to a full-distance 200k DIY audax.

Have booked a beach hut at Southwold to have a restoritive kip in on the Sunday.

I'm planning to ride (all the way!) with the Paragonistas again this year. I promise not to put the wind up anyone by lobbing myself over the bars in the middle of Epping Forest and making a spectacle of m'self.

youre Xander and i claim my £5!

pay the man.

also: I saw a guy loading an S5 onto a Merc M class on Box Hill on Sunday. Fool.

Its not a bet Bjam... Its a claim...

Its a claim...

If my name were Xander I would happily cough up a fiver, particularly if being called Xander had the effect of magicking up a Cervelo and a Cayenne that I could sell on gumtree. Just think how many carradice saddlebags I could get with all that money!

The driver was told, nothing could be done. Apart from get off the coach.

It wasn't the end of the world.

Really? I was sitting right next to him and I don't remember anyone saying a word!
