I'd like to join this please. I'll check back closer to the weekend.

To the driver of car (RKII USG) on Long Lane, heading towards Tower Bridge this morning round about 8.35/8.40am - not a great manoeuvre. Am disappoint.

A coffee stop is always welcome as is a stop that includes beer. I'll pop in occasionally to see what date in October you choose. I'm already booked for a night ride on 6/7 October.

Cheers

Hi Opiumia, I'd be interested but let me get my 'this might not work' statements up first:

I'm slow - despite doing (and enjoying long distance rides over the years) with speed intervals
I (still) ride a titch bike with 650c wheels
I'm 4'11 so, of course, I'm slow :-).
I'm old physically. Mentally I'm 30, but my body is slowly winning the argument.
I'm even slower going up hills but nowhere near as bad as when I first started cycling.

Over to you!

Oh THAT was you! I was thinking you reminded me of that guy who sings 'I'm only human' or summat. It was the beard.

Hopefully next time I'll be focussed in the here and now :-)

I wear heated plus liner gloves when the temp is below 5C. Other times I wear two pairs: 1 thick/1thin. Strange looks during the summer months when it's two pairs of thins :-).

Do it. Test ride the different models and if you live close to a hire scheme, try one for a week or so. Or not.

Now back from New Orleans. No phone search in the US but still used carefully. Whatsapp'd travel mates and fam back here. On reflection, will get a dedicated 'travel' phone and sim for future trips as sim used is my 'backup' sim.

ION I can thoroughly recommend Mardi Gras and if you love deep fried chicken/fish/meat, that is the place to be.

The comments are interesting/depressing.

I'm giving my phone the Velocio/Cory Doctorow treatment.

Registered. Woo hoo!!

Did those jeans include ones from Uniqlo? I've just worn through a pair in the thigh area, admittedly I tend to use them on the weekends, so the wear took a few years to develop.

I'll be saying 'no' as the Lastpass password is kept at home and on my iPhone.

Whatever happened to the days when all I had to worry about was excess duty free liquor?

Interesting. I use LastPass and it won't be on the travel phone and I don't know the passwords to my social media accounts without it. Am mentally preparing myself to be turned back at NO.

Cheers hun.

@Velocio I'm off to New Orleans at the end of February. Given 45's recent EO's, would it be a wise move to take an 'empty' Android phone, with few personal info on it? I have an iPhone but was never going to take that with me.

True, but as a Soft Southerner of Jamaican descent I luv em.

Evening rain and heavy traffic on the commute home. No-one told me there was a race on the CS7 from Kennington to Clapham South! So hoping the incoming cold spell will reduce the numbers somewhat.

Watched some of you play some minutes ago. If you guys really going to be out there for longer, I can donate a flask of white rum to the cause. Purely for its heat giving qualities, you understand. I live nearby.

@HatBeard - did your group run up Tooley Street towards London Bridge yesterday evening, about 8pm or thereabouts? Was a little envious but not by much.

I'm beginning to think some of yous are turning up because I won't be there. Should I have a complex about this? tears

In!!!!!

Err, I'll be in artic Jamaica. Will sink (more than) a few Red Stripe beers for you all though.

If I'm in the right hand lane, it's cos I'm turning right NOT going straight on. I fail to see why you think it's a licence to overtake me whilst shouting a warning AS I'M ACTUALLY TURNING RIGHT
Public Service Announcement to the various two wheel riders behaving like fuckers/fuckwits/arseholes yesterday morning and this morning
Tomorrow I'll be mixing it with tube travellers cos sports massage in the evening. Oh the joys.

Low numbers of cyclists on a Friday on the CS7. Like it.
