Anybody from Belfast?

.

I've work and other boring stuff. Grrr.

Do this thing while you can people :)

So this yellow sun thing has been out, along with some tentative cyclists. Roll on the summer rides soon I hope!

Bridge Opening, start of an awesome greenway connection. So that's next Friday between 12 and 4. Either go from victoria park or airport road.

May day soon ... Anybody up for a cycle? I haz touring bike so we can bring stuff

Could be tempted though it's the day after the big italian bike ride so I'll see if my legs still work. I'm a maybe

Ah which event is that?

It doesn't have to be the Monday if Sunday suits people better.

.

Right shall we say 1300 Big Fish as a premature plan? Tell your friends, don't tell the Parades Commission...

I doubt any of us want to be Up Early. Beers/plonk/supplies can be carried up to an extent as I haz carrier rack.

If it's bucketing down, we can always gather for a drink.

Chain reaction event on Sunday. Should be fun. I think

That rules me out for Saturday and Sunday

I'll keep Monday as a maybe

Good point from WonW: Where are we going to go?

From Big Fish:
The 6 mile jaunt to Dirty Duck - Holywood hmm pub
The 6 mile run to beach on Jordanstown, there's a pub in Jtown
Victoria Park - East Belfast - Comber Greenway if people feel up for a longer cycle also haz pubs/cake that's more 9-10 miles. Castle Espie for watching duckies is another mile

I can bring a D-lock

Hello again all!
How have we all been?

I'm potentially game for a ride over the long weekend if my legs feel up for it and I'm not busy! I'll keep you posted.

I must admit though.. I shall be on a geared bicycle using flat pedals! Sacrilege I know! but I have been informed it is still too soon to use SPD's or clips as the old knee just couldn't hack it! Grinding along on a high ratio SS is also a no-no unfortunately!

Does anyone know of anyone who would like to buy a Peugeot PH8X carbolite (56cm) frame & forks?... I might have made an impulse purchase haha!

OK that's me + two maybes :)

Forever alone lol. I asked some others but they had to work etc. will ask around more.

Right one more coming...so its on unless the heavens open :)

As the heavens have just opened, today's cycle is cancelled.

It could be worse...we could be running the Belfast marathon ;)

.

I think we should all meet up somewhere sneaky on Saturday and find somewhere to join the Giro for a few miles ;).

But but...won't they pick us out instantly on our steeds instead of the flashy go faster stripes carbon bikes...? :P

.

Pffft, they wouldn't be able to catch us ;)

any bike related craic going on in Belfast any time soon?

Just found this forum/thread.

Is there any bike related craic in Belfast at all?

I know a few years ago some people used to be organising events hardcore, but I don't know if they still do.

So: Belfast Bike Week 14-22 June

And

Fred Fest: http://thefred.cc/ picknick, workshops etc.

I am on the Facebooks, not familiar with the Uni crowd riding fixed but if anybody here is and we can tie things up it shouldn't be too hard to get informal rides going.

I have heard there is/was a Wednesday ride but not sure who organizes is...there are things happening but they are done by different groups/demographics so people miss out as they don't know what happens where.

I think

Should still be a burrito spin on a wednesday Albert bridge clock at 6. Moderate pace and waiting on those left behind.

There's an all-party cycling meeting the 17th June in Stormont for bike week...check Alliance Party Facebook group to get invite.

would do the burrito spin but work always gets in the way, is there still a Sunday ride going on?
