2012-07-21 London to Bath Night Ride (a TNRC affair)

I had the hill climb thread open in another screen and momentarily forgot which was which.

Awesome list guys. Enjoy the ride.

Did we get towels at the spa last time? I can't remember. Also, can I groupsave with someone pretty please? I'll stay for the Tour finale (natch) and a couple of beers after but I'll need an earlyish night Sunday...

Towels at the spa included yes.

Awesome list guys. Enjoy the ride.

You and the J off on the continent then?

Boo!

bloody change of gear ratio meant I got overtaken by some roadie on the way home from easts!
Mortified

Towels at the spa included yes.

i'm pretty sure towels were extra last time i went.
i was suitably outraged.

I went (in the snow) in December and towels were included. EIther way I'm not bringing one.

i'm sat at home with a small cold contemplating a continental breakfast

How can a cold contemplate breakfast? colds can't eat croissants.

Maybe they can contemplate them though - watching wistfully as you push pastries into your face.

I’m sadly out for Saturday. Had a long chat yesterday with a wise man who suggested not doing any night rides when I’ve only just got over jet lag and repeated food poisoning. Probably for the best. Have fun!!

Steve, how much are you charging for towel transportation? Could you base your estimate on something roughly this size?

Three dropouts in a single day. I am disappoint.

On a serious note, I will bring my abus disc (chain type) lock in the hope that those who wish to share it will carry it part of the way. Else I shall be the one sleeping in the steam rooms safe in the knowledge my steed is secure.

Hello guys, I am new here, and I am in!!!

Sweet, will squeeze some in my saddlebag

^^Nooooo :(

So I can't work out what if anything I need to book in advance.
Train out to Farnborough?
Train back (group save)?
Spa?

You should book in advance for all of them, none of them, or some of them.

Kind regards
braker

In other news, i've found a hole in the braking surface of my rear wheel and need to drill some holes in my frame tomorrow to reattach a derailler hanger. Bodes well.
