The end of LFGSS Bonanza Day Out on Bikes - Saturday 15th March 2025

and my thumbs?

Thumbs?
That's a pretty advanced technique

Hop Kingdom will have us for a party, if LFGSS really is going to go. But maybe it's not quite dead yet - let's see what happens.

Nigel@cyclists in Southwark is probably organising it as we speak. Via his new lufguss FB page...

@velocio, sorry to bother you at this hectic time, but could you move this into the newly created END OF THE FUCKING WORLD sub forum?

Thanks.

Good suggestion for a forum rename too... have done.

Thanks!

fucking hell.. I spent all that time building an Events system, and you make it a "quote thread" 🤦‍♀️

We've got to have our lists somewhere!

I know, I felt bad about not using the events but there are three mitigations I would plead:

One: I am on the app and it doesn't support events.
Two: I thought that this thread might spawn other, actual, events.
Three: We had to do this old skool style, for reasons that are obvious to the forum OGs

Fine...

My vision of what this could look like is three seperate events on the day that overlap and co-mingle:

A during the day GSIAD.
An evening party in an actual venue.
A bridges night ride.

That should cater for all tastes and provide sufficient nostalgic madness.

Mega props to anyone who manages both rides and attends the party.

Let me know thoughts on that as a format. Also let me know if you want to take putative responsibilty for helping organise any of the above.

Also, tell me I am a cunt and suggest something else.

I'll pop along for a bit of day riding, and if anyone wants to drink beers instead, I am on board.

Also, Mashton is a cunt, we should do something else.

Is the GSIAD actually coming out West or making some half hearted effort and only going as far as Hammersmith?

well there's a Bridges thrown in too!

We realise that a) Ruislip is the one true home of God and b) you are a bit of a Johnny come lately to the forum so never experienced the wonder of the 'trum days in Hammersmith and environs...

So, if you want to run a local history tour of deep West London then fill yer boots!

Can we crowdfund a flight to the UK for @ma3k (is his account dead?)

And @hillbilly whilst we are at it.

Up for the wake/rebirthing ceremony...

Will that come out to Staines?
@Jonny69

b) Agreed, just 12 years.

Noob

(Hugs)

Oh, by the way, as one of the increasing number of booze free people on here, I am less likely to be GSIADing and more likely to be bridge riding.

So who wants to take on the GSIAD event?

Nota bene, in the spirit of the forum, the amount of organisation should be minimal - more a kind of "we make the event thread and they will come" organic kind of thing...

...unless you want to throw more effort into it.

I suspect that an actual party in an actual venue will be slightly more onerous.

Is it possible to do both, concurrently, and overlap at some point?

I suspect that an actual party in an actual venue will be slightly more onerous.

An early evening thing at Hop Kingdom followed by an East to West bridges ride sounds doable.

What exactly are the Grand Slam in a Day points on the map?
