A grand afternoon/evening out. Sportive paced and more chatty than the previous Saturday's track sprint rush at the Tuns. Curry all good: though they spiked mine with sleeping powder....
We had a good chat with the LMNH owners. Lewin Chalkley knows you Geoff - and said he might be out on the Boxing Day ride, though looking for an early 7am start perhaps. I said would he put a framed CCA shirt up on the wall - show his roots and he seemed to like the idea. Also talked about some kind of ride to/from theirs in the future - an 85 miler there and back, with coffees awaiting us in central London. Something for Spring? Or a trip down when they're showing a good stage of the Giro - a few beers and the train back.
It was nice and festive - and good banter as ever. One to think about again in 2012 I reckon. Cheers!
I think there might be a cycle pub crawl some time in the New Year.
