Ahoy crew mates

After the sighting of CTJ last week, looks like another lost boy returns
He comes with green bounty and wears many layers

Weather looks ok, possible odd shower

Let me know if coming to curry night
( see other post)

So steady 16mph winter spin, 35 to 40 miles depending on conditions

  • Yo Ho shipmates

    Should be out this weekend to see the return of No Nonsense Nick aka the Green Goblin.

    14 crew last week, who else will be present on deck this week?

    We just await Sri Lankan Rupert and the Lost Boys will be complete.

    Come and get fit and have some fun with us. All welcome.

    Dutchie
  • Hi, I will join if that's ok. Colour options include: green or blue or red/white. Rupert
  • Of course, great to see you
    Why not surprise us with a combo ????
    Nick has booked green

    James

    PS if Phil appears we head East
  • Hi James, I will check the weather and see what's available. Rupert
  • Yo Ho Cap'n, fellow pirates, paleos, parrots, shirkers, workers, bullets, green goblins and Uncle Tom Cobleigh

    Rupert, you need green orange and red for the Sri Lankan flag

    No Nonsense has bagged green, I'm in orange,

    Will we have a full crew of Lost Boys or will the Hills of the East decimate Neverland?

    Everyone welcome as our Cap'n (retired) needs as much shelter as possible, especially as the lead out team are getter leaner.

  • Who will buy this wonderful morning?
    Such a sky you never did see!

    Well ok a bit foggy,
    14 out for 43 miles at 16.1mph
    Late venture into the easterly lanes

    Many lost boys on deck, with Tony missed
    ( out soon we hope )

    Green by Nick, orange by Dutchie, red white and a flash of green by Rupert
    Most ended brown, apart from Dutchie with the fake orange tan

    See you next week

    The future's orange. 2 orange jackets and 2 orange Condors, after we were joined late on by Will the Trumpet.

    Speaking of blowing their own trumpet, I think the sprints were mine. I heartily recommend the Cap'n's potion - a level playing field now we all have some!

    Cap'n slower than a cart horse. Too much shirking in his retirement. Grimsby Grinder, indeed.

    Belgian toothpaste for most in the Essex Lanes and roads around Anstey.

    Muddier than an nighttime spin around the Letchworth Greenway on the cross bike. Just need some cucumber for the eyes.

    Green Goblin had new winter gear, fresh from Spain, as well as green sunglasses and water bottles. CTJ green with envy, or was that just Sandon Hill?!

    Great fun as always, thanks to James and George for coffee and cake afterwards.

    See you all next time

  • thanks to all for a good ride and I 'almost' regret not having taken bets on being the first to bring us to a halt with a puncture (with my new puncture-proof tyres)

    if I manage to get all the grit out of my drivetrain, can you let me know if I should send it back to Herts or Essex County Highways?

    cheers

    Simon
  • Looks like the family pack crisp diet not working for captain
    The parrot now coming back to form and putting the work in
    Glad the potion helped
    Luckily no sprinting on winter rides, so pointless answer I am afraid

    Good fun
    Mud packs curtesy of Essex and Herts
    Said not normally a winter route
    Now you know why :-)

    Great to see so many out again. The Black Pig bursting at the seams, all cannons manned.

    Almost all the regulars present and incorrect, with some welcome new faces on deck. Hope you all enjoyed it.

    Might have to form a squadron soon, to ensure group size is safe and manageable, but very tidy riding today everyone, thank you.

    Cap'n then promoted to Commodore? Get some of his fantastic natural energy pouches. Tasty and healthy, too.

    Hope to see you back soon, Tony. Rupert missed his domestique today!

    Tot de volgende keer

  • A brace of Fratelli, indeed.

    Bunch was looking good from where I was, glad to bump into you all whilst out, I was on the verge of getting really bored so very glad of the company!
  • Thanks to all for a good day. Bicycle has been steam cleaned and all tidy again now. Tony Domestique you were missed today so look forward to seeing you next time. Rupert
  • Thanks for a great ride and good to see all the old faces back. I note that the 'we don't sprint in winter' rule was suitably revoked and perhaps this rule may be a little....eerrr fluid dependent on if the captain is in the lead out?
    Road conditions appalling but great company made for a great ride
    Thanks
