    I am outraged! Don’t carp at me! Carp at Boomer. He is in the British Isles and works on agro-forestry. That means he is more weird than I (currently I am a Roots and Tubers Crops – RTCs – guy – we are so much cooler than the forestry folks, no really). Also he is in a part of the world where they drink warm beer and eat icky food. I am currently in a part of the world that is the birthplace of ceviche and the national drink is the Pisco Sour. Nuff said.

    Also, I am about to suffer through the South American summer season! I know you feel the terrible injustice I will have to go through to ride in spirit with all of you!

    A few points:

    1. Discount Boomer miles. He is a cheater and will be riding on the wrong side of the road.

    2. Happy to be told I need to be a slacker (although this is a natural condition for me) and/or whatever else given the weather advantage that the southern hemisphere presents me.

    3. I should be traveling regularly to the DC area in Jan-March so will also be riding with you, occasionally, in person. Which kind of sucks, as I would rather be riding with you in spirit wearing my bib shorts.

    I want to carp about this thread because I don’t really know what “carp” means if you’re not talking about a fish, and I’m much too stubborn to Google it.

    And I want to carp about how the PNW may not get below freezing, but it does come with a kind of cold that crawls into your soul and dies there. Plus this rain. It’s a drizzle, but it’s relentless in its drizzliness.

    Would it be possible to have a positive energy thread?

    Firstly, I object, because secondly, @PowerfulPete resembles those remarks!!

    Thirdly, it is a historical fact of climatical history that Bristol UK has already experienced more freezing temps this season than that swamp (which BTW will soon be drained by your President-elect) that the majority happens to muck around in, and I have black-ice (not black puddin’) road rash to prove it!!!

    I’m in. I’ll even keep riding during both Boomer and Pete’s multiple old guy naps.

    Unfortunately I will have escaped to warmer climes in time for 1 January and will only be able to ride with you in hungover spirit.

    I will, of course, document my first ride of 2017 and ask all of you for your recommendations on sunscreen given the very difficult riding conditions I will be subject to.

    Now, if anyone would like to pointlessly ride at HP post-Christmas I am more than happy to join you.

    Also, Boomer is still a cheater riding the wrong way and drinking warm beer. Just sayin’

    I hereby call out @PowerfulPete on Christmas day, laps @ HP. B there or B square. Oops, that won’t even be FS2017 season yet. Oh, shucks, forget it. FS2017 is rigged!! Allowing him to ride in summer in Lima; that’s unpresidented!!!:-0
