Congrats to all,
Del, that was abrilliant write up- it had me chuckling- probably one of the best CR "write ups" for ages- rivalling George's -best CR ever.
I would have loved to go along as well, but I had an invite..........to shovel up after the parade.

Great write up Del. Wish I had come along just to see what title would have been bestowed on me. Did the naming ceremony involving kneeling down and being touched on each shoulder by a bicycle pump before an inner tube was hung aroung the neck ?

Brilliant write up Del.

Great day out 75 miles door to door with a few metres of climbing here and there which is good for me as its one place I'm lacking in my cycling. After doing a far bit of towing I finally bid farewell to the last of my comrades about 10 miles out of Croydon and powered home the last 16 miles feeling good.

Brill day and brill company and brill route...simply brill. Cheers guys.

THis is all a bit one-sided so in the interest of balance

I know I know, it looks like it could be fun doing a nice rear-wheel skid on that dress ..

Sylv,

I'm sure those guys were in the pub at Penshurst.

They had some beers lined up with some pork scratchings.

Who are they??

Goldie looking cassette no more!
I'd say I've done under 150 miles on it and it's shredded! 3 teeth completely gone and 5-6 well worn:

Do not buy a Recon cassette.... unless you'd like a second hand gold one in usable condition from 20 -26

[Antloony]

Shame that, I thought it looked bang tidy

Great write up, Del!!! Inspired stuff!!

[Amy]

Just discovered why my rear wheel felt all wobbly The wall of the tyre has been worn almost through by those temporary mudguards rubbing on it (the furry bit on one side is missing and the plastic almost worn through too...) Oh great....

And can anyone remember how to shift those ties they use (supposedly reusable)?
