Rode with the chap on the baby blue PX (your name eludes me) as we dominated a couple groups hoping to catch you guys but the lights weren't with us.

That would be me, Simon. Hello.

Was there a dude riding round in Rapha on a brkls track bike?

That sounds like JD, did he have an air of bald yorkshirman about him?

On the fixed tonight. Not sure if I should leave my gearing as is (48/17) and join in with DJ's well behaved Rapha chaingang, or flip my wheel to 48/15 and hoon it round HoP style. Hmmm.....

Probably in.

Rolling 37 miles - nice route if you are looking to try a first TNRC. We'll ride as a group until the sprint option for the last few miles. No one gets left behind etc. Bike friendly pub at the end.

If you are riding, out update the train list - find a swap if the train time doesn't suit.

I think its time to to come out of TNRC retirement this evening.

I'll either jump on one of the trains at Tottenham Hale, or possibly ride out depending on the time I finish work.

I will update the list shortly.

Wolfpack hustle will have to await the arrival of my 'sweet fixeh.'

This place I trust.....

Maybe able to do 5.30 ish for a cheeky half, but will probably be gone by 6.

I might head up soon, be there in about 20.

What are the Congratulations for?

I think they are engaged.

Congrats to our president in exile and the 1st Lady of Norths!

Dammit, nice bit of Reg there.

My Mrs got me some nice new cups for X-mas. DJ would approve....

Oh, and dont forget to try some of the Peter Belt gear, it makes all the difference....

Front end = source = cd player, record player, tuner, squeezebox, laptop or whatever
Then you have amplification
Then speakers

When I was first interested in hifi, I think I did what a lot of people naturaly do and think its all about the speakers, but over the years, I think the above order is bang on, within limits of reasonablness.

The proof is in putting a pair of relativly down to earth speakers (lets say some £200 bookshelf jobbies from the likes of Monitor Audio or B&W) on the end of a top end system (lets say a NAIM CDX and 52/250).

It never ceases to amaze me what the budget speakers can do, they just keep getting better as you improve the kit up stream.

The key is in finding a nice balance, and where posible getting an extended demo in your own home. Good hifi dealers will lend you kit to try before you commit, but in the consumer age of internet shopping, ebay and bargin hunting this is not always possible.

One thing I would say is that buying decent second hand british hifi kit can be quite risk free, as you can buy somthing, try it out and if you are not in love with it, move it on for more or less what you paid for it.

Is it very arty your majesty?

APPEAL!

Does anyone have a pair of cyclocross tyres that I can borrow for an hour on Sunday afternoon please!!

I ordered a pair of the mythical Mud 2s several weeks ago from t'internet and they have failed to arrive so far - I'm running intermediate tread at the moment but I suspect Ally Pally will be a chewed up mudfest by 3.45 on Sunday and I will be in need of knobbles.

Beer payment.

You can borrow the ones that came on the cross check if you want.

At long last...........

That'll be too late for Simon, won't it?

Indeed.

I have just stopped eating.

Yom Kippur innit. For that reason I'm out.

Maybe I can sneak a fast one in.

(See what I did there?) XH will get it.
