Sunday 09.30 ride -it's done
Ahoy fellow travellers
Looks like we are going to get a wet one on Sunday
So 35 mile flat route to soften the blow to winter riding
Let the wind blow High, Let the wind blow low
Through the streets in my kilt I'll go
All the lassies say hello
"Donald where's your Trousers!?"
Winter gear required

Does the Jermyn Street shop near your office have an actual classic red C60 Colnago in the shop?
Thanks
Rupert
Unfortunately not, they only have it in stealth black. Even worse it has Shimano group set on it. A scandal on an Italian Classic! They may have one in their main Farringdon shop - called Bespoke.

Wet weather ahead. Great weather for ducks.
Full mudguards are an excellent way to keep your crew mates from getting mud in their eye.
Write a nice letter to Santa to bring you some if you're skint.
The Cap'n is exempt as he's only ever at the back anyway.

The wetter the shorter it will be
But righteous feeling afterwards guaranteed
See you 09.30
CP
You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
So come and have fun, getting soaked with the Pirates!
That's righteous, brothers

The Farringdon branch don't have a red Colnago C60 either so if you see one in Jermyn street please let me know. Thank you.
Rupert
Given tomorrow's forecast you should forget the classic red Colnago
And bring a yellow submarine instead.....
....run silent, run deep.

Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love

You'll be lucky to command a couple of boats tomorrow
Numbers more likely to be just the Owl and the Pussycat
Raindrops keep falling on my head?

In case you're dithering this morning:
9/ If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a bada*s. Period. Fair-weather riding is a luxury reserved for Sunday afternoons and wide boulevards. Those who ride in foul weather be it cold, wet, or inordinately hot are members of a special club of riders who, on the morning of a big ride, pull back the curtain to check the weather and, upon seeing rain falling from the skies, allow a wry smile to spread across their face. This is a rider who loves the work.
So come and catch some sea spray on the Black Pig, get fit and have fun!

To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me"
"I'll be coming home, wait for me!"
the righteous brothers set sail
Into the eye of the storm
Coffee stop back at the turbo shirkers
The two jack ass onto the ark to greet Noah
Good to clear the head and the soul
Bet you feel guilty now :-)
CP
Bring back that lovin' feelin', Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin', 'Cause it's gone...gone...
Just the Righteous Brothers, aka Maverick and Mothergoose, to man the bilge pumps today...we were Top Guns
The Ashwell clock struck 9.30am, but the High Street was deserted..
....off sailed the Owl and the Pussy Cat in their beautiful Black Pig boat
We sailed away for a year and a day to the land where the Bong Tree grows
...er, actually 24 miles @ 15.5mph to Wimpole, but worth 50 miles in that deluge. Character building?!
Returned to find the Smug Brothers watching TV on their turbos in the garage. Smugs and mugs.
Coffee, chat and laughs to ward off the chills.
See you all next week? Don't forget to ask Santa for mudguards and rain jackets. Oh, and some bottle!
The Righteous Dutchman
It was so horrible today that I left the Fratello at home and took out the Wet Winter Training Bike for a rare outing.
The thing is...I really enjoyed myself. Loved being out on the bike, even for a short ride.
Would have kicked myself if I hadn't gone out, hence the righteous feeling!
Don't worry if you don't know what we're talking about, neither do we! All part of the fun.

Bad weather
Righteous feeling
Righteous brothers lyrics
Two in a boat
Owl and the pussy cat
Great feelings
Back to lyrics
Start with small point
Venue to a new and bazar place
Like science fiction
Not taking itself too seriously
Simples
and fun
CP
And names with movie references
We only pull the leg of people in fun
( cue the monkeys lyrics )
It's a pirate's life
Come on board any time
You will get a loving feeling
CP
The Cap'n means:
We're just trying to be friendly
So come and Hey, hey, we're the monkees
And people say we monkey around,
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down....
