I find that gin makes most things feel better.  Just hoping I can sort of pickle the germs. In gin.

Bouncing Barlist

Have a good ride everyone.

Meldy, give them woods hell.

M...eldy

What are you up to tomorrow then Barlos?

Dustboy

Just looked at the bumph, apparently the short doesn't start till after 9am. Might be a tad warmer by then?

M...eldy

It was 2 degs when I drove to work this morning and frost forecast tonight



I shall stay under my duvet for a while 

Kanga M

Hmm, still packing the overshoes and long fingered gloves ...

[Deleted User]

I've packed ski gloves, too... and neoprene overshoes just in case.

[Deleted User]

Gin pickling going quite well.

Dustboy

Muust admit, I could go a tipple now but I am lousy in the morning at the best of tiimes!

Sealskinz, and overshoes packed, base layer, sealskinz golves and silk liners as well, the bloody lot basically.  And spares

Saffers

You lot make me think I should be packing and organising.....but I'm not!!!   I have no ski gloves, I have no overshoes......I think I am going to be bliddy cold. 

On a positive....gels and drinks bought from tesco......hubby in garage organising bikes....me on sofa!! Sorted.   So glad he is coming tomorrow or I would now be in the garage pumping me tyres.

Question........

The short starts at 9am, can we set off earlier than that or do we have to wait.....I don't want to get there too early and then freeze before I get going?

purpletrilady

Sorry guys I will not be there . Family duty calls

Surely its not going to be that cold??

Saffers

Sorry you are not going to make it Purple...

I think I shall go google the weather to see whether I need my thermals.!

Jaffa_

Enjoy the ride tomorrow guys,  look forward to hearing how it went

Tommygun2

It looks like it might be cold to start of with and then get quite a bit warmer,so shorts for me and a couple of layer on top might go with long fingured gloves but probanly wont. HTFU you lot

oh and see you in the morning.

Saffers

TG.....has that bike been in the shop yet for an overhaul?

Kit sorted, beer open, lamb roast just going into the oven  I'll be the one wafting a trail of garlic around southern England tomorrow

Lamb too rare, honey carrots overdone, red wine just fine

Start when you want mate. They start in groups of 10 or so over the morning, not fixed times, they just prefer the longer riders go out earlier.

I'm thinking bib shorts and goretex top, but that will look tragic with overshoes. Will chuck it all in the car and decide in the morning. Ben may or may not make it tomorrow, depending on how Mrs Ben and the impending #2 do overnight. Apparently 'Dunsfold' isn't a good name for a kid

Saffers

Thanks Kanga.....bikes are now sorted and in the car, thanks to hubby.  I am on gel and drinks duty. I must look for gloves too......

Dustboy

I am thinking try and leg it out at around 08.45 on the short. Ish.

Saffers

I shall keep my eyes peeled for you then Dustboy.   Make sure you get there in plenty of time for your faffing.

Dustboy

Me? Faff?

Saffers

Just read more bumph. May have to take this seriously. I mean you have to put chips on your bike and ride across mats and everything. I can just about deal with "Follow orange" and "Cheeseburger". Suppose that's progress though. Maybe we won't get lost this time?
