Monthly social ride - Second Sunday of each month - 1pm @ The Greyhound in High St Ken

Cajeta Anyone interested in a convoy from the East to the starting point?

starting point?

well, i'm in bethnal green, so somewhere near there would be sweet. i'd be fine w/making the polo grounds as the start point, too... shrug

Sounds good to me - I like convoys (I get lost easily).

stompy (I get lost easily).

haha, me too! ...let's hope we'll get some more people to join us... ;)

We could start at the Beigel place on Brick Lane.

Watch them all join now...like flies to sh...honey.

i'll come along, i think.

make sure the ride ends at the polo field david would be good to see a group of 20 bikes swing by and hook up with the polo posse
yihaaaa we got a convoy

velocity boy Shit. This is this Sunday!

Route, we need a route confirmed.

Has anyone had a chance to ride the city bit yet?

Do we really need a route for this?

We know where we're starting (Greyhound just off High St ken, see 1st post.), we know where we're ending (bike polo court, top of Brick Lane) and most of us know central London pretty damn well.

Why don't we just take a CM type approach and wend our way past as many sights / cool streets as possible? Definitely take in the places listed in the first post and then see where the fancy takes us...

Of course, this won't help if peopleare planning to hook up with us en route, but it isn't exactly far from Kensington to Shoreditch so no real need for anyone to join half way.

As for start time, what about 1pm?

1pm sounds grand. I'll update the first post.

We can make up the route so long as someone knows their way around the city bit to Brick Lane (I'm a bit fuzzy around there).

I'm sure we'll muddle through, I usually do; and I thought that getting lost in the city is de-rigeur anyway? On a Sunday it is a pleasure to be lost there - no traffic and loads of fun :-)

And if all else fails, there is always Google Maps.

edmundane all these bastards they should get themselves killed someday driving ruthlessly. my word!

Hear, Hear !

Sounds like fun. I think I'll come along to this. Haven't really hung out with fixed riders in London so will be good opportunity to talk people I spend my time nodding and smiling at simply because they ride a similar bike. I used to do the same with people wearing Vans or Stussy back in the late eighties.

Anyway, anyone fancy meeting up in South London to head over to Kensington --- Camberwell/Stockwell/Brixton area?

love to come but going to the police concert at twickenham, plus a i want to play a little polo b4.

great i will be there

The idea is to ride to the polo. We should get there by 2:30 at the absolute latest.

so is that a 12 o'clock convoy from the beigel shop, heading to high street ken for 1pm?

peejay78 so is that a 12 o'clock convoy from the beigel shop, heading to high street ken for 1pm?

Maybe leave a bit earlier so we can have a drink at the Greyhound.

earlier is fine by me...especially if anyone knows a good spot for bloody marys...

12.30 then?

Can I come?
I am fed up of riding around on my own all the time!
Also could someone pm me there number please incase I get lost, that is if i can come of course.
btw Holla if you see someone on a blue Bob Jackson

peejay78 12.30 then?

If you mean 11:30 then yeah.

My missus would really like to come, but she's worried she's going to get a metaphorical stoning because she only has a £100 Decathlon cheapie and not a fixie...

Of course, I've assured her this won't happen...

Will it?

It won't happen. All are welcome. It's a welcoming, open, easy ride... not a race or one-upmanship thing.

Oh, I was kind of looking forward to riding behind her, hissing and pulling her hair...

That's ruined my Sunday

;)
