Forrest Gump, for Creedence's "Fortunate Son" alone.

A brief glimpse of Brett this morning - crossing the traffic lights at Camberwell Green. It took me a second or two to register, as I don't normally see you there.

Howdy! - didn't used to cross that way but have recently found Camberwell Grove more agreeable than Denmark Hill.

"What I'm going to do is....."

Brett this morning managing a disturbed sounding 'Hello' as he was trackstanding at lights in Clapham, Then someone who waved at me on Great Dover St - I waved back - have no idea who you were.

Disturbing? That was my best "multitasking" voice...

I actually passed you tonight andy, was making a slight detour via Edwardes around 6:03 only to find you passing the other way and the shop shutting up. I didn't shout out, I'd have felt like a cunt.

me too...

Over the fence and out. It's not a six it's fucking OUT! You have to get it too.
Shed's the wicky is kinda like autowicky but includes slips catches :)
One hand one bounce.. what a rule.

We used a standy-uppy movie poster thing in my student house/garden, so we had Beavis and Butthead as slips.

Hell yeah.

The world capital of ped-stepout-ness is officially St Martin's Lane WC2.

Nope - Vauxhall Station.

Yep, have mine with me.

Next time Wests is forced to migrate, I propose holding it in the Fullers Brewery, Chiswick.

Marvellous!

Free couple of pints for first person to successfully remove my Miche BB.
Last ditch effort before I drag my sorry ass down Brixton Cycles on Sat morning.

used it for 2 builds.
never again.
same thing has occured on both bb's.
it undoes itself.
and the first one was installed by a bike mechanic. its a bb not an engine, its a piece of piss to fit.
i've since removed one from a build and now i can't get it back on.
fuck these bb's

You're lucky - mine fucking refuses to budge.
As noted in other threads, the Campag tool that is supposed to fit has only succeeded in wearing metal off the teeth on the inside of the cup (yes I'm turning it the right way)

Like the quote above says - never again.

Unless they've re-furbed/gastrofied the benches and grass outside the Ship, it's unlikely to make much difference, no?

That said, it will now probably piss down all day tomorrow...

yeah those floors are shit! And the urinal with its short and low sitting lip that causes huge amounts of splash back on your shoes.. soo many bad things.. but we do have a little outdoor place and it has changed hands!?

I've still got a fuckoff great hole in my shin from falling over in that place last summer and bashing my leg into a pillar by the bar.

Have a great day, Jay

Yes.
Best choice, looking forward to it.

Hey, I saw this bike (and owner) at lunchtime, in my office car park in Victoria - nice bike!

A quick thing to add, directions wise: when I put this particular route/crib sheet together, is was based on the notion that the group would be passing through Croydon town centre early on a Sunday morning before there were (m)any peds around.
It's therefore worth adding that if the group chooses to stick to this route on Saturday, the pedestrianised zone is likely to be absolutely chocca, so it could be worth diverting/dismounting or risking the wrath of hundreds of grimy chavs. (I'm allowed to say this cos I is from Croydon, innit)

I still hope to be riding, but an ironic twist has me staying down in Brighton with mates on friday night. So I need to decide whether to get the train up first thing saturday, so I can ride back again!

PS another thing, whoever's in front at Caterham on the Hill, make sure you take a right at Manor Avenue, and not Stanstead Road (refer to updated route link in OP)
This will save some of the more enthusiastic riders from hurtling off down a big hill and missing a vital turn.

I was advised at lunchtime to try contacting the UK distributor, who might be in posession of spares if requested. But my 10 mins of internet trawling failed to reveal who said distributor might be.

On a side note, can anyone offer an opinion as to whether ROCs worth the 10-15 squids more than normal ATACs? (UTFS etc)

When I was 7 years old I honestly believed that there was only 1 company that made bicycles.

damn you brett, you're just siding with fluff coz she is nicer than me.

sorry mate, didn't even realise you'd been bumped!
