Sun 6th April - 1:30 pm Speakers Corner - Sheldon Brown Memorial Ride Now With Flier.

Looks like it was a good ride, wish I could have been there :(

Was a really fun ride.
A really good turn out, even though that the majority of people there were non FGSS members.
To be honest i wasn't really expecting the brompton brigade of commuters and family riders... but thats what made it so great, a real nice mix of people.

lots of 20 inch wheels.. aye. :-)

we had sunshine, but not as much fun.

what no music?

Yeah when c and c music came on i kinda zoned out.

But generally a nice ride...Andy nice snaps mate. Shame about the poser at the front.

nice one tommy, who are that handsome pair heh!

good little tribute to the man the legend that is sheldon. good to hook up with a weird wheeled lot from other forums. and massive respect to the guy with the sound system who had rode in from canary wharf before hand trailing that 1000kg of woof. no wonder he was only in a t-shirt when we were all wrapped up to the nines.

Hi all, really enjoyable ride yesterday and thanks for making me feel welcome, I had a great time riding and having a beer and a chat. Hope I wasn't the poser at the front Shinscar, a bit concerned.. no posing going on over here, cold like everyone else, but I was at the front round Aldgate..!

PJS was talking about the vanity of myself on Lucky's photo.

this is what happens you cross a green hoodie with a white altura mac and get a bit self-conscious looking at the photos the next day....Shinscar I won't hear a word of it you look great headin' up the pack...

Hey everyone twas a cool ride yesturday. good to meet even more people from this wonderfull place we call LFGSS, and a few odd ones from other forum's. Good to see the captin off so well.

PJS you heading for south london drinks tonight?

Hey there Hillbilly - I'd love to head south tonight but I fear the job interview I have tomorrow morning would suffer badly..

hey hillbilly did you stay for a beer?

Hi all,

yep, Graeme here, (black '06 Langster w. red forks), lurking no more now I've reset my account,

Really glad I came along on Sunday, not least to ride to remember the great man, but to meet LFGSS and see some lovely steeds. Thanks for making me feel welcome, it was great to see a spectrum of riders, bikes and styles. I'll hopefully make more of the rides and events in future - I'll defo be down at the Paris-Roubaix this weekend and then the Roller Race the weekend after.

Cheers!

Hey Shinscar. yeh I stayed for one or to( maybe more? ). Good to meet you geezer.
No dought I'll see you at one of the ride's or at one of the drinking session's.

wow that was huge!

Holy crap. This is the first I've heard of Sheldon's passing. I need more friends who ride! When? And how? This is terrible...

Has anyone still got any of those "Sheldon Brown is my co-pilot" stickers ?
Sold my bike with the original on from the ride and would like another.
