Also as a nice postscript to that first year, we did way of the roses and someone dropped out so someone we didn't know - James - took his place, first time we'd ever met him. Fast forward a decade and I was his best man last year. Two other early ICC members were groomsmen.

This is me and Richard on a very early ride, but it might be a couple of years in

Edit: yeah that's the second round of kit. Not sure how I've made such a terrible mess of posting it. I have another from the same day of me getting dropped badly but can't find it

Followed by the sad realisation you still had 10km to go to get home

Actually it's the bloke who came on our first few rides who worked at Evans maybe?

I recognise Claire front right, the guy behind Andrew was a scouser named Ben if I remember rightly. It's not Luke up front left is it?

As you well know my grudge holding is borderline unparalleled, and I love awful retro kit

Not only was I not involved, I turned up 2 minutes late and you'd all pissed off so I had to do the Radlett Loop alone in rainbow faded kit sponsored by a Belgian plumbing company

Ali and Laura don't ride with us any more, Rob Jones moved to Kent, Jamie moved to Australia. Basically a decade of London, people leave, people go and do other things, but lots of them were extremely vital to building the club

Some of you who've been here 10 years may remember me leading the B rides before I got a Garmin, so using paper cue sheets. I'd streetview the entire ride the night before - I had a very patient girlfriend - and write the notes, then have them in my hand the entire ride. Over the subsequent years I got a bit better at all that, hopefully helped with some things around the place, then moved to the US so dropped out of the club. Still a member though. Got diagnosed with epilepsy last year so my riding has taken a serious knock, but I'll be an ICC member for life, I'm enormously proud of what we did and what you all continue to do. And sorry for being fussy about the consistency of the kit in so many committee meetings, but I still maintain its importance

Are you talking about getting a train out somewhere or riding out from London?

Lucy just messaged Facebook and dropped out, she doesn't know what her forum username is

Have you got a full roster of volunteers or do you want a shout out on social

Welcome Henry. We have some group riding tips knocking about, but it basically comes down to learning your hand signals and not doing anything unpredictable, as well as knowing how to chaingang.

We have a number of freelancers, students and retirees in the club who are out and about during the week and most, if not all, are perfectly amiable people

Thirty seven days holiday?!?!?!

Knew I should have gone into the public sector

thirty two and a half days' holiday?!?!

ICC, Phoenix, WI judging by his baking photos

Really?!?! Again?!? My word that's not on

There's one rider guilty of this who has a pretty impressive record, probably 6 or more rides. We know who you are and the Shame Wenches are coming for you

Ah yes, my bad. Get there early

Just rock up, 8.30, Holloway Road entrance to Whittington Park. You really won't be able to miss us, we'll be the ones resplendent in green

James, you're fine coming out on a Sunday ride a couple of times before you join. We've 4 rides leaving on Sunday morning at 8.30. An A, 2 Bs and a C.

Nice one Matt, welcome

We're usually pretty good for getting people out in the rain in fairness

8.30 at Whittington Park, Holloway Road entrance. We'll be the group in Lycra

Usually between 12 and 1 after coffee and depending if you went on the longer or shorter ride.
