You do know you have to do it on a fixie or a tandem?

Dallas could do it on a tandem - she could be at the front. The guy on the back will be the MD who positions himself behind her in the gym.....

The Fraggle

Ew luckily not there anymore but at my leaving drinks I did recommend the old team ask him about his tight buttock injury -

Why does going to Brighton involve a pervs day out? Dallas raising buttock injury at her leaving do. Mudskipper wanting to skinny dip in Brighton.

Thank good ness vetran is "normal"

Haven't tried a wiggle ride, but the Evans ones are pretty well organised.

Some nice hills round those parts

open to suggestions.

Just thought would be nice to follow up if we survive and I'm still talking to Brillo in the morning.

Dunno what the deal is on transferring places. Suity and MF aren't doing it but paid, so guess you could be one of them for the day if they post you the numbers.

That's a hell of a choice - who would you rather be, suity or MF....

Might be worth giving BHF a ring and see if it's possible.

Last year I mentioned the Benson vintage cycle rally which is 1st Sunday of July. Lots of old bikes, penny farthings, wooden boneshakers - they do a little circuit stopping in Benson (which is the same neck of the woods as the link you posted). A couple of times I've cycled out from Reading, stopped for lunch at the pub opposite where they meet, looked at all the old bikes then cycled back - nice route, about 40 miles round trip.

Wouldn't mind doing it again this year if you (or anyone else) fancy it?

It's one of those events that happens every year, but seems to have minimal information on the web. Very old linky.
