Badgers Reloaded

I did that.

I rode the wrong bike though.

be the annoying novelty act that makes everyone uncomfortable to be around

Sorry, I've already taken that role

Is "court jester" up for grabs?

What about "surly extra you notice in the background that fails to follow all director instructions"

"surly extra you notice in the background that fails to follow all director instructions"

That would be @Dogs

"drunk singlespeeder that fails to leave the start location in favour of keeping good seats at the pub" ?

drunk singlespeeder

@Kidneys will be drunk on a geared bike, so I suppose that can be a sub-niche

@Kidneys will be drunk

How much crap is everyone strapping to their bikes? Is there a minimum acceptable amount?

I'll have a full frame bag, as @Tijmen now sponsors me. That'll have a water bladder, snacks, tools and and extra layer for when it cools down in the evening

I've heard a rumour there might be a cargo bike on the ride, so you'll do well to top that!

Bar: Restrap bar bag for tools and snax. Midships: Bottles of water if I can remember to fit cages.
Ass: Wildcat seat pack with a spare teeshirt or something I dunno. Kapok?

If you're only able to carry one bottle and it's a hot day, you always used to be able to top up your water at the Conservation centre. I suppose the pub might do that too?

Extra layer. That’s what I meant. Usually it’s a Uniqlo puffa jacket, but 27C day temps may mean a towel and squeegee.

I'm only thinking of the extra layer for when my train gets back to Norwich at about half 8

Madness.
I'm bringing nothing. At a push I might put a bar bag on for soreen and stroopwafels

I'm bringing nothing

Not even a bike

as @Tijmen now sponsors me.

For the influencing to work you need to pretend you've paid for the bags...

Wait, people are bringing bikes?!

No bikes, only R I G S

i have:

Witslingers prototype barbag (2021 vintage, grey cordura, black trim)
Wizard works feed bag (custom, grey cordura, black xpack, black trim)
RAL frame bag (black cordura)
King anything cage (stainless)
King iris cage (stainless)
Voile strap x 3 (nylon)

inside will be

full roadside tool kit (including spanner for my paul mini moto brakes)
tubes
tube patches
extra layer
snacks
lunch
hand sanitiser
spare battery
charging cables
my phone
800ml of water in a klean kanteen
650ml of water in a rapha travel explore bidon
packing peanuts to place into the bags in an aid to make them look optimumly plump if caught by trail papparazzi

i consider this the bare minimum one can carry to leave the house now days

zipped roll on the bars, mini shazam on the seat!

Oh.

I literally took the bottle cage off my bike because I figured I'd just be able to drink from puddles. I forget these bike things need tools and spares and shit*.

*anti-theft paste

soreen

Not since Brexit

Friend of hippy is moving house (away from me, obvs) so he's out.

Maybe I should rethink my total lack of kit, spares, drinks, food, yada yada
