GSIAD IX (End is Nigh)

Most of you know the drill. We jump on our bikes and ride to Compass Beers Locations (may be current ones or historical ones, details tbc).

Will be checking in with current custodians of the various points.

Matt (@middleofnowhere) and myself will 'lead' the ride.

Will be a few changes in light of making sure it plays nicely with the potential bridges ride. For example, first pub and rendezvous will be South Beers.

Be great to see many of you out there. Either on the ride at the various pubs.

I will be riding fixed and hope many others do.

Yes

We have lift off!

I'm wondering if we re-jig the sequence slightly, Perhaps Central before Wests, to make the roll on to Kew a bit easier?

And it'll be fixed for me too!

@jonny I started a discussion with @mashton about whether the GSIAD, should end at Kew bridge and then the bridges ride brings you back to the party.
Not sure about timings but most bridges rides didn’t start until 9/10ish. If you wanted them connected would that mean a later start for GSIAD or would the bridges ride just happen earlier?

Have never done one of these so will follow the leader👍

Usually follow the bike in front, make sure they are part of the group tho.

Yeah I'm very keen, also never been on one.

Could you keep up on a BMX?

Great stuff Jonny, Matt.
In, fixed.
My vote for SEs would be the Roebuck.

If not, you'll always know what the next pub is and the pub stops will be long enough to reform a gruppo compatto.

I would have thought it'll be more pleasant to ride on another bike, but then I've never had a BMX.

I'm definitely gonna get on this somewhere along the line. I'll have to take the day off work though so I'll wait until nearer the time before I commit.
Also, I saw Mouse the other day! It must have been ten years since I last saw him and he still spotted me. Had a nice little catch up. 😁

Only vote that counts dude. Roebuck is greenlit

be great to see you Scott x

I need to know where @mashton parks his bike so I can wrap my lock around it

Lolz rep for this.

More like you need to oil your lock @jonny, is it still the same mini Evo?

Mine is...

I'll be popping my forum drinks cherry for this one.
Coming in to Fenchurch Street and riding down to the meeting area, will likely be fixed.
Happy to meet up with anyone heading out from city

I won’t know until around 8pm the night before, but will endeavour to make this my first IRL forum thing since maybe 2011.
