Busy weekend!

Gauged out my lobe to 6mm; train to London avec pennyfarthing; fettled up a borrowed Trice Ice Q recumbent trike (mostly "ooh, what's this?"); kip and existential Spice Girls nightmare; FNRTTC to Whitstable featuring hilarious speed, bonkers cornering, and a surprising lack of fear (but wheel-arch spray ew); meeting another penny person; Smithfield Nocturne criterium race (part of the Rapha series, good fun, lots of fakenger fashion fixies); beer!; grokking pennyfarthing riding courtey of the lovely C; working out what was wrong with my penny; planning how to save civilization from itself; resisting the urge to buy a "Teslatron" violet wand; and lashings of tea!

*puff, gasp*

I have recumbutt.  :)

The joy of triking: Do you take the roadkill squelch up the left arm, the right arm, or dead centre - hoping it doesn't come over the top of the rear wheel and land on your head...?

You a darksider yet, or just dipping the toes?
