Nice ha I'd use Shimano's offices as a toilet too.... Campag fo' lyf. :twisted:

Looks awesome guys.

Like I said, Tuesday's not great for me as i'll be heading down to the shooting range (my other hobby/passion), but the range visits may be semi-regular and can hit the rides on the opposite or other nights.

The other benefit is my office is at Kings Park just off Vardys Rd so right near the Sunnyholt Rd entrance/exit.

Like I said keen to do plenty of riding over there (hills etc), averaging about 150km per week over here when I can squeeze it in before week. My 'starting out' is more about getting settled again after the move (and making sure I can get access to all my junk whilst it's in temporary storage!)

He wasn't even going on the ride, just likes dressing up in his LBS kit and urinating in public :shock:

It's always your LBS, might not be your preferred supplier though ;) They are proper Campy addicts too...

Hi M7 fans

Had a great ride last night in the fresh air.

The only disappointing thing was the large number of riders without headlights. It's dangerous and disrespectful. I suppose some might have had their batteries die on the ride, but I can't imagine that applying to many. My guess is that most have either forgotten it or just haven't bothered to buy one.

I think it's appropriate to object, politely, to this. I sometimes call out "lights" as they go by. Other times I hold my hand on and off over my own light.

What do others do?

The whole reason there are lights on the path is to minimise the danger of such events. Not everyone has the cash to pony up for Ayups. If you're riding so fast that an unlit bike is causing you distress, most plebs would argue you are riding too fast for the conditions ;)

Hey guys, been a while. Good news is a career change happening in a few weeks which may allow me to commute a few days a week by bike which should have me fit enough for a Tuesday night in about July 2015 :wink: Good to see the TNFPR numbers growing!
