mareeoh bbc 5 day

looks like the weather will be ok, cool!! finally ...
...snip...
please someone bring a map that covers all the bridges, just in case

Weather forecast not as good as it used to be, but it still seems okay.

Oh, and my pocket A-Z goes up to Kew bridge.

I'll be trying out a new hydration pack that I'll be using for DD, so don't look at me like I'm a wierdo when I turn up - I know it's overkill for this sort of ride.

Been a change of plan so I could quite possibly come, need to getm e a hip flask though.

Jeez, almost big enough now to justify a support car.
Odds on it suddenly pissing down tomorrow about 8ish?

I'm out I'm afraid. A birthday party that I was going to miss has now turned into an engagement party that I can't miss. So I'm going to be in Kingston upon Hull of all places and suddenly need to sort out car hire and sleeping arrangements.

I'm bloody jealous though, the group looks massive and no doubt you'll all have an absolute blast. Bastards!

Oh, and all those people who don't use the forum... change that ;)

Two more with me.
Saturday Night Ride 14th July - The Bridges(Finaly)
Meet-up south of Tower.
And as stated previously - Westminster is mine.

Can someone please print out close ups of the route I made? (mainly around the West, central we don't need maps for) I don't have time..

so meet up is 2300 outside brick lane bikes? c u all there, i might see if a mate of mine wants to come.

BLB is north.

why are we gonna have to cross the bridge twice???

The route works better if you go South/North first. Check it, five posts up.
Also you are assuming everyone is coming from the north.

Hmm I'm gunna be otherwise engaged till about 11:30 or so on the south bank.

I'll give someone a call and figure out where you have got too when i'm out.

i'm coming from croydon, so that's fairly south, also i realised that we are stating south to north!!

I'm with MA3K, lets go south to north over tower bridge

if no one decides, i'm gonna get pissed and do it backwards.........see you all on chelsea bridge at 1.00

im coming from streatham, so it makes sense to start on the south but where and when?

why do i get the feel we've been here before??!

who cares where we start.....its a bridge,its not like its long

i would see your point if it was this bridge!

or this :

my fav bridge

Top trum bridges!

I go with

http://www.paultownend.com/photos/westcountry/b41.jpg

It may not be as big as yours but it's a classic!

we need to come to some sort of agreement with regards to a meeting point.

marreoh said 2300 outside brick lane bikes, so i think we should keep it there. i think there was talk of a drink before anyway, so we can start the actual ride south of tower bridge, but meet outside brick lane bikes. i'm sure something can be arranged with mobiles, etc.

Is it me or as barns (point number 28) we are crossing at railway bridge. Looking from the satellite view it does not look like is any foot bridge or path up to it.

Someone who lives that way? Explain it to me please.

It has a footpath on 't side.
