2007-07-14 - The Bridges I - East to West

Perhaps the best way is to have a couple of meeting points so people can join when they like, cos there are a lot of us.
ie: 2300 Brick Lane Bikes, 2330 Tower Bride south side. Keep them definite, any other arrangements whisper/text/phone.
I'm almost definitely going to want to go to the pub for a bit beforehand, but don't mind where.

Tommy: I think there's footpaths over Barnes railway bridge.

I'm coming from the South as well, but I'm happy to meet outside BLB, go drinking and then pootle south of the river, meet up with whoever might be late, (maybe have a quick half in another pub) and then start the ride proper going South to North.

OR

Silly Option : we can each take up positions on the North and South ends of Tower Bridge, depending on where we are arriving from, and yell at each other Scottish warrior style to decide the start point.

OR

Silly Option 2: we can each start on the side of the bridge that we arrive from, and then see which zig-zag route reaches Kew Bridge first (RACE!).

cheers brett and MA3K, I was thinking this must be some super sketchy train skitching expidition we where going on!

barnes bridge has a footbridge so no problems there

grr.

this is looking good.

i may have to find a way to escape my brother's party and come out riding.

just say you git a kidney infection and cannot drink so you'll be leaving whenever people get too drunk for your likings...it works.

I wanna come! But I can't.....

...said the vicker to the nun

ok b lane bikes at 2300
ok

ok

right

sorted

cause im a northener

right???

no, left!

Rob (slamm) has the map, he printed out, fucking amazing...

lets say, if we don`t meet everybody at BrickLane by 2300, we will meet the others around 2330 south side of tower bridge...
and than we wait for everybody at tower bridge 00:00 ....

maybe more 2 friends will join, will not put their names coz they are not sure...

maybe the weather will not be the best but we have so many people that i don`t care anymore...
with or without rain!!!

btw, should have a name for the ride...

what about

"the bridges"

hahahaha

North meets north at 2330 BLB
South meets south Kens house 2330

**Meet Midnight City-side pavement ON Tower-Bridge

SORTED**

Note: in my map I left out the Barnes bridge and the two Hungerford crossings. This will be corrected on the night and we will end up not crossing the Kew bridge twice.
It is important to start South-North otherwise we end up riding through some dodgy/industrial/major roads past Battersea and Wandsworth bridges.

we should wear name badges:)
