Ridden every day this week - despite fog and cold its really good becuase there's zero headwind - very rare in this country.

Just got lost between Banstead and Woodmanstearn though - fog was so thick you couldn't see the buildings from the road so I missed the turn for croydon and ended up in the Chipstead valley.

Great caution will be required tomorrow especially for those riding in the quicker groups - so be careful out there.

Ride South, it is better towards EG way. Stu and I rode to Brighton and back yesterday and it was fine. Maybe you should have cleaned your glasses after going to that lap dancing club on your xmas do.

Cheers

It wouldn't be my glasses that would need cleaning after a lap dancing club I reckon :-)

Have you ever tried one of these?

I have to own up that yes, I have.

Speaking of drinking - we had a band practice last night during which the drummer and guitarist drank 4 cans of Stella (each).

After practice they then drank a whole bottle of Jack Daniels between them.

How rock and roll is that?

Me and the bassist had two cups of tea each all night as we were both riding this morning. How un-rock and roll is that.

Gigs early in the new year, I want you to come along (with your trumpet)

I try to keep my horn wrapped up at this time of year.

I came back thru the lanes today and it was sunny all round ewhurst/ockley/capel/ newdigate, tho still really foggy around Holmburyand peaslake, just seems to depend what side of the hill you are.

We can feel the building sway here on 26th floor and they have cordonned off most of the area near it as it works as a windtunnel - people have been knocked off and windows blown

Rode in this morning with wind behind...fantastic :shock:

Not looking forward to the ride home tho :cry:

Which building are you in ?

by **Dr Frigo** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 3:28 pm

Porland House in Victoria. The ride this morning was with wind behind/sideways

Riding in I found it no different to other days this week - the ride home might be a different story, though. I'm hoping that by getting into an Obree-esque crouch, I'll be able to stay upright. :shock:

by **Dr Frigo** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 3:44 pm

It's gotten a lot worse than early this morning. I can tell by the howling noises of the wind brushing the sides and windows of the building!

First casualty too :cry:

by **Richard (Apples)** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 3:46 pm

Shouldn't be too bad going home :roll:

. I'm sure all the drivers will be aware of the conditions and make allowances for cyclists by giving us plenty of room :evil:

Or perhaps I'll have to take my helmet off for that :evil:

by **adrian** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 4:06 pm

Oh, I'm sure we'll all be able to have a good old laugh about it tomorrow...

Yoinks!
