Highgate Hill Thursdays

is it happening this thursday?

so long as it isn't raining. i melt in the rain.

Thursday looks like the best day of the week.
I fancy a bit of Highgate myself, it's been a while!

Just started doing a month of teaching in Highgate, so it's up Highgate Hill (not West) in the morning, and a quick loop round Muswell Hill on the way home (at lunchtime), all on my hack/beater/shitter fixed with rack and pannier.

Not sure if I'll get there on Thursday, but should have climbing legs ready for an attempt soon... is the first prize a C50 Pista then?

lpg so long as it isn't raining. i melt in the rain.

I went to do a dysfluency observation in Teddington tonight. New Kings Road had piles of hail stones on the pavement, plus the leaves they'd torn down from the trees. Long stretches of the road were a foot deep in water, and the pavements were submerged too.

You'd have loved it.

brixton was hit really bad, all the roofs were white like it's been snowing. i was in the office when it happened. i then spotted from the office window that brixton road has become a river. my boss got really excited we went down together to take pictures...
would have loved to ride around in that shit in a beater!

yes yes yes highgate hill this thurs regents park gloucester gate for 6 ish just inside the gates

Ok, I know the weather's damn unreliable but it hasn't rained yet, so who's coming tonight?
S'on my way home anyway so I guess I'll just have a look in the park around 5:40-6 ish, see if anyone's around.

i was planning on it but the weather according to wimbledon says rain at 4 thus rain in central london about 4.30 i fear it's gonna be wet if i'm there i'm there otherwise ......

It's on my way home too.. but this is just as likely to mean I visit as it is to mean I ride straight past in a mad dash for home sweet home! :)

I don't think I'll ever make it - I don't finish work in Canary Wharf till 6 on a Thursday.... :-(

its now raining in streatham, is it still going ahead up in highgate?

its raining here also im afraid

It's England dudes.. it does that :P

I'm just off now - will call by GG about 5:45.

where were you all? i got there at 5 30 and no one turned up untill about 5 45, left at 10 past because iut was raining and needed to get home, i turned around and not even 5 mins later me bike slipped and my front wheel got very dented, i now need a new front wheel more than ever, oh well, if any one has a nice front wheel for sale at about £30 to £50 let me know.

I was there! Called in here: http://tinyurl.com/2ht4nv about 5 to 6, waited til 5 past, by which time it was pissing down so figured noone was coming!
Turns out there's temporary traffic lights halfway up which forced me to stop as there was no room to overtake, grr....

i fell asleep, sorry to all that went. fucking rain :(

oh well, still had an okay ride there and back from streatham comman

I was there at 10 past.. mostly late due to not knowing which one Gloster (that's the Aussie spelling) gate was and not being of sound mind to check a map.
I saw danger joel as he was leaving.. apparently two peeps had already gone.. I was too fscked (tired not sexed up) to ride much further than home anyway.

rain and slicks bad news sorry i wasn't there but if there no opportunity to sit in the park in the sun with a bag full of stellas and sit outside in the pub at the top i get sad !!

Crappy day, crappy weather, crappy summer - takes the edge off, riding through rain and traffic with nowhere to sit down and booze.

Did you try INSIDE a pub? (fck i need my anti-sarcastic-cnut medicine again)

Tried inside my flat instead!

yeah you might as well be at home where you can smoke
