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

good ride, frustrating at first but then we got rollin, once on the way back me dt and...sorry dude, can't remember your name, lost the group and ripped the a roads, got to primrose hill in less thatn 1 hour, climbed the hil and thought...."where the hell is eveyone gone?"
sorry i missed out on the sunrise but my bed was calling me, who took pictures?

I've put mine up on flicker with the londonfgss tag.

Not the best of pictures, but if you there it will bring back memories.

so what time did it finish up?

I wished I'd gone.

hardly slept a wink, and ended up having a nightmare about committing murder and woke up with a bad back.

cheers all - great ride - thanks ma3k for whipping us into shape! and thanks all for waiting when i punctured on millbank.....lets do it all again to dunwich (minus the sodding puncture!)

wicked ride wicked ride
quiet roads no traffic/cyclocross training(gravel + bike on shoulders)/owning the road on regent's street+a lil' bit of weaving/beer/good laughs/bike porn/school trip all rolled into one.
lucky we're a big bunch of us on primrose hill...
big ups to everyone esp MA3K and mareeoh

hey steves think there's a thing from vittoria called pit stop that comes in a can you can seal up your tub with, which also keeps it sealed as long as the latex is liquid inside the tube. you'll probably want to get some if you're riding tubs to dunwich.

great ride and a good laugh, sorry didn't go to primrose for the sun up, had a hard day on friday, and it would have meant riding back out west after.
great to meet more of you.

dudes,
that was the most fun I've had on a bike for a long time. thanks for organising, thanks for allowing me to join in again big thanks to ma3k for keeping shit and the group together.
Next time I'll have to be in better shape to keep up with you guys at the front conducting sprints every time we set off from lights, rolled across a big bridge.
Great time.
Won't forget the sound of thirty odd pairs of spd's being clicked in everytime we started off in a hurry, happy times...

ps. I think it was Stef I spoke to about the lovely blue glowing light in his back wheel, if you've still got that spare I'd love to have it, let me know how much you want for it and we'll hook up. I'm south, but I work out west, so can pretty much get to anywhere in the centre...
I'm just changing my profile so my email address is available so mail me at that..

peace

def not riding tubs on the dunwich! should have the new one built up by then - gonna be good ole clinchers with gp 4seasons.....and a few spare tubes!

loved that glowing light in the wheel - what was it? also loving the bar end leds!!

that was a quality ride -

kind of summed up what is good about the forum, everyone was welcome and everyone was looked after.

Lovely to be just rolling thro' the streets late at night and putting names and bikes to faces, big cheers to mareeoh and MA3K as well

what's the next trip then

another hoozzar from me

was a fantastic ride, dunno what else to say, everyone has said it really

didnt realy sleep so good when i got home though, and didnt get to ride home with people cause of that weird fella forcing dave(badrider) to leave a bit early.

was fantastic to get some fresh air out west.

Bloody brilliant, loved it! Especially a nice couple of sprints over Chiswick and Kew. I'm 'kin knackered though - finally crashed out about 7 after raiding the local garage for grub.
PS Why did all the passers-by think we were going to Brighton, especially when we were crossing bridges going north? Is it the only place you can cycle to or something?

that was me actually with the blue disco light. You can have it. no probs. I have two. R u coming to the polo ground?, I can give it to you there

We had a great ride, thank you all for making it happen.

See you at the Dunwich, I'll bring the poppers.

shit my shoulders hurt, shouldn't have carried two fat d-locks in my bag. Can't we book a communal shiatsu specialist to come to the polo grond on sundays?

Good job guys loved that ride, wasnt so sure about the toothless rapha hat wearing guy at primrose hill trying to get a go on peoples bikes.. was he trying to steal bikes or were we just being over tired?

enough chit chat here! polo polo!

Nah that dude was sketchy-as.

Soon as he heard 'Phil Woods' he wanted a go.

hey mask like i said i owe you a pint boss prob saved a few teeth from aflying :-)

edmund. I bring your saddle. will be there around 4pm

badrider, your bike is much too lovely to let some guy sleaze over it.

ride was fucking amazing, thanks for everybody otherwise wouldn`t be so nice.
32 people was a lot, specially when we were going through the steps, millenium bridge, etc..
thanks for MA3K for leading the group, the crazy and nice route, by Hammersmith bridge the off-road was amazing!!! good fun...

we must do another night ride before the end of August...

i`ll put some photos in my flickr soon and maybe make a little movie...

Did everyone here just wake up or something?

I know I did @ one.
