2007-08-14 - The Bridges II - West to East

i know jefefelipe is deptford - same street as me....

yup, just found your posts on another thread.. I'm in deptford strand and this other guy was somewhere on plough way. There's also someone on ebay selling a pair of powergrips who rides a fixie and lives in SE8. He also said he's on here, but I don't know his username.. West London posse? pfff.. there's more of us in SE8 alone! :P

jv is new cross - bought my steamroller...i think he tried powergrips

obviously, correct me if I'm wrong...

We are not doing the Rotherhithe tunnel: no one likes it apparently (see first bridges thread)
We will go through the Greenwich FT South-North then the Woolwich FT North-South which lines us up for a nice ride back to the finish: Observatory Park (Greenwich hill).

im in se4....not far from deptford bridge:)

? deptford bridge, what is that?

hear hear on the rotherhithe tunnel - its shit!!! prob not as bad at that time of night tho... i think the idea of doing both foot tunnels is very cool......100 stairs at each end of both tho!

the se posse grows....

That is part of the fun, this is not a weekend ride in the country :D

Yeah the Rotherhithe is shit, bad air from all the trapped exhausts, single lane, fast traffic - Lets do the Blackwall tunnel as well.

I rode through the Blackwall tunnel once by accident when I first came to London - Harrowing.

And I had to climb up a motorway embankment when I got to the South side.

hopefully drier than the last one of those....dunwich!

and i'll try not to puncture this time - no tubs for me!

lol

"another deptford-ite! looks like we'll soon be able to rival the west london posse! maybe we should do a southeast start ride ..... at least its a quick ride home ;-)"

I will be comming from Plumbstead and Fixed Wheel nut is comming from Bexley, Aidan is New Cross, Stompy is Greenwhich, danam Dave from and the London fixedgear house are Brockley, there are load of us South east people so we should do a feeder ride type thing.

maybe a jousting session against those west london morons

East vs West - bring it on!

south,east and north v's west!

Don't think your posse's big enough eh?

;oP

Fair enough, I didn't fancy Rotherhithe much myself. Here's a Bridges II - revised version

I know nothing about SE London though, I'll just follow you locals for the last bit.

Oh yeah, that is good. We can all agree on that.
