I dunno what other urc types are going, but the date for the London WNBR
has changed to June the 14th. I'll be there, probably on my old green
Triumph roadster...

If you think you might be exceeding the speed limit* while passing a
camera, could you manage to present your posterior? Papers would LOVE a
photo.

* yes I know there's not one for cycles, but the camera may be stupid
enough not to know what is a cycle and what is a motorcar...

It's very unlikely that I'll be on the London ride this year, because I
wouldn't travel all the way to London /just/ for the ride.

There's been discussion about doing a ride along the Bristol-Bath path,
possibly this year but more likely not until next year.

I would make that!

Just don't do anything remotely similar in the passeneger seat of a car,
or Ian Smith will want you hung, drawn and quartered.

Can someone take a cordless iron down there, please, and share it out
liberally. I don't want to see all those wrinkly bodies when the inevitable
pictures pop up on my TV screen.

I'd say it's more than likely given the fuss over this:

Oh, don't underestimate it. There are some here who think that
passenger's behaviour to be so deplorable as to warrant severe penalty.

If the car wasn't going over the speed limit, how come it took a photo of
the car? I thought they only took (or saved) photos of cars which it
detected as going too fast?

I set off one of those flashing signs on my bike the other day - doing
about 32 mph on the approach to a 30 mph zone. If cameras use the same
sort of sensor then I guess it would take a photo of you if you went fast
enough although the potential chafing from pedalling that
fast would put me off trying!
