2013-06-20 - Rolling to the stones 2013 edition

all yours sir.

it's looking like:

me
laner
fixed cheese
rod munch

dicki - you in??

i'm gonna leave it till last minute skive
i do have the days booked off but i want a rain free trip
i'll check the weather later in the week

sorry to be so wet but i don't like being wet riding at night cold, when i can't see, roads slippery etc call me a fanny but if i am coming i'll meet you all at speakers corner 75% chance i'll do it currently

Nice ride, but nowadays I'd be knackered by the time I get to Hyde Park. And have no brakes.

laner might be on an earlier train so there might be one more spot on the groupsave.

yep, i booked a ticket on an 8am train (really hope we make it on time this year!)
So there's a space on that groupsave

What kind of time would we be getting back to London?

train is the 08.09 from pewsey into paddington at 09.21

Ok, good. I should be starting work at 11am on Friday. Am I already part of the 4 included in the groupsave?

Rolling to the stones should always be done via Bletchley and be riden with a
63(ish) year old with a broken hip.

your in mate.

i'm looking after my daughter all day which should be interesting. at least i'll get a nap!

weather is looking somewhat damp although drying later so it might be grand.
we'll see....

the original rolling to stones had nothing to do with bletchley, that was an object after thought

bletchley was started after the first rolling to the stones
check the dates !!

rolling pre dates bletchley by 2 years and that was the first i did
dazzler had been doing it from moving target prior to that !

so there

Right. I'm in for tomorrow night then! Going for a little ride now, then the 40k scratch at HH later, then RttS tomorrow, then riding Dieppe - Paris on Sunday morning.

:s

Amirite in thinking you chaps will be fixed?

Not that it matters particularly, I'm just eyeing the mudguard on my road bike (and recalling 2011 when I had 2 rear lights die due to rain water ingestion before I'd even left West London!)

i'm happy either way.

fixed is currently brakeless which doesn't seem conducive to riding overnight....

and lightless, canna find me fecking charger!

I'll be on gears.

well i have fixed the brake on the fixed but would be very happy riding this geared if we all agree.

I think you're missing something here, dicki ... :)

1 x " the "

capital letters ?

maor exclamation marks ?

No, the point ... :)

Also very happy either way, but given this small group probably gives us our best chance of making it to the stones in time in... 4 years(?) then I guess gears would make marginally more sense in case a last ditch TT is required...*
