Sorry dude, I was miles away. Always am really.

I hope you told your mum that I was just a random and you were having a little bit of a break down ;]

Spotted some girl with a black and purple chrome and matching underwear, kinda had a hard time seeing what bike it was you understand. She was talking to some dude with dredds, can't remember much about him either.

Saw some bloke on a red frame riding breakless heading down to the Notting Hill Carnival.

At said, carnival some dude said "Nice bike" has to be someone from here because my bike don't look nice!

Peace

A busy half an hour or so for me, in the spotting game, I'm assuming everyone was making their way to some sort of london calling event, if so, have a good one...
That was Baddesigner and I - hello! Doing the first of three runs in as many days to Oxford St (memory issues or what). You shoulda said hi, although I don't remember spotting many people out that way... :D

Em, on Sat, bout 1pm, going through Liverpool St. on the new rensho ?
A very late recognition, but just enough time to raise a hand and a smile.
Was coming bk from HH and was late... so apologies for not stopping !

Tomasito, returning home from Polo bout 8.30 last night.
I was in the 3 crowns... drinking.

And this morning a super bright luminous FORT with a white mag front wheel turning on to Clerkenwell 9.15.

Ha! Did you see my altercation with the pigeon? I couldn't access my front door because a stubborn pigeon was sitting in the doorway and I didn't want to let it inside. Eventually, with use of polo mallet, I gently ushered it to one side. But I imagine it looked pretty stupid if you were watching from the comfort of a pub across the road!

I did wonder why you were taking SO long to get in...
Couldn't see the pigeon.
Looked like you were just REALLY proud of the fact that you'd been out til after dark, playing POLO - ha!

Saw a shedload of fixeds out there. I'm in 'The Burgh' quite a lot and may even bring my bike with me next time if I'm on the train. The number I saw locked up and still there a few hours later filled me with comfort.

At least with the hills - for the most part - when you're up, you're up - but I think the first time I saw you, you were pushing. Sadly I was in the pub at the time, otherwise I'd have shouted.

Catch any good shows?
