When Is...

I'm new to all this fixed wheel business and want to know when's the next Monopoly ride?

When it happens. It requires mass consensus and then a few people to lead with pulling things together to make it happen.

Summer has already been mooted, when it's warmer and unlikely to be pissing down.

Thanks VB, think i'm becoming strangely addicted to this already!

Do you hate Aluminium? ;-)

Blue Steel?

I thought this was more your style:

hehehe defo! :D

what is this...a school for ants?

may, most likely, they seem to do an every other month kind of thing.

i'm thinking something like may 17th, after i come back from the greek islands :p

options
-south-east ride past eltham or something
-secret london

You really don't know London, do you Dale? Who in their right mind would do a scenic ride round SE London out to Eltham?? Take in the delights of the Old Kent Rd, Kidbrook and Stephen Lawrence's memorial?

Sorry, just that I think secret London would be about 1000 x better.

secret london would be great, it would allow people to contribute secret locations around london that (they think) only they know about.

For example, yesterday I was nosing around charing x road, when i stumbled across this HUGE open space full of fountains and this ENORMOUS statue on a huge pillar!!! Amazing!!

Don't park your bike there tho ;o)

Well, i'm happy to ride anywhere(i think) does anyone know anything about doing some track stuff at Herne hill
Photoben - Aluminium sucks!!!!

you have to do an induction, have drop bars, tape (or grips), bar end plugs, a helmet, and no brakes then you can race if you want to.

Check out the 'spring track day thread' for some plans that might interest you :-)

try telling that to the principia rider at herne hill, eating up the laps and many of the steel wheelers.

pj: everyone knows aluminium is inferior to steel. As is titanium and carbon. That's why 30yo frames sell for so much on ebay.. because ebay buyers are so well-educated and would never buy anything inferior..

+1

infact +1,000,000

Eltham sucks a big one. I grew up there, and I wouldn't piss on it if it were on fire.

...if the ride were to involve setting to fire to Eltham and then taking a piss somewhere else however.....

hippy pj: everyone knows aluminium is inferior to steel. As is titanium and carbon. That's why 30yo frames sell for so much on ebay.. because ebay buyers are so well-educated and would never buy anything inferior..

are you insinuating that ebay buyers are retards?

Whatever gave you that impression?

Kidbrook, can't wait.
