2008-10-15 - The Bridges V - East to West

nice one people, i would definitely do this again minus the getting lost on the motorway bit...
bright times last night, bright times

well, i safely got all the way back to oxford.
got off the train, got hit by a minicab, concussed and fucked left leg (due to keys in the pocket)
no riding for a bit I think. Just left the hospital (which becuase I work there meant 0 waiting time!)
Bikes fine, not even a scratch- my head, leg, and elbow.
yay!

Fuck Henry! Glad you're OK but more importantly, the bike's OK! ;-)

WTF is it with minicabs!? Did the cunt drive off too?

Best wishes Henry.
What's going on just lately with all these crashes?

You should have worn that Nurses Uniform Eyebrows - no way he could have missed seeing you then ;-)

its wet up here.
he didn't stop, but lots of people did. I was just a bit dazed.
had worse and the bike is fine, should be back within a week. Just a deep cut on the leg, which is preventing me from riding.

Best wishes Henry.

150 people, pissed on bikes, on one night.

oh yeah, forgot to say thanks for the cd BDW, looking forward to listening to that...
also had a great ride back east with wools, pajamas, multi, yeh731, fluff and ma3k.

yeah Marlon! The bagels were goood after that blast eh? :) (come to think of it you had to get going fairly soon after we got back to BL..)

It was really nice to hang in Brick Lane after all those miles.. great ride, still feeling very happy off it all.

bad luck Henry..

No words, yet not surprised! Cunt

'Kin 'ell! that was great fun. must do it again soon. I'm really sorry about my squeaky front brake, I bet everybody thinks I'm a cunt. I sorted it out today as well as greased my bb (it was dry as a nuns c... screaming in agony on the way home) @BRM nice ride home, shame about the tug just as you thought it was mission accomplished. @Multi Grooves no probs geeza, my spliff is your spliff. To everyone else I met, nice meeting you and thanks for making it happen. Hope everybody that had an accident heals up quickly, I know how it feels to not be able to ride, its SO frustrating!!

Get the fucker's rego Henry?? Did anyone else? WAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked him about the sound Arrospoke makes on our way back, I think his name is Darren.

Go back to pages 17/18 and 19 there are quite a few pictures people took and video's. Most people seem to host them on external sites like Flickr,Youtube. Good hunting

Cheers man!

Enjoyed the ride so much, especially the part of going all the way back to east. Now I want to do more night rides!!

The begals in the end is a big bouns ;)

So who else was in that little group rolling back east?

Me on white tires, Simon on purple Donahue frame.

Oh, and Ma3k giving static to a bell end in an Audi, funny!

Good one everybody. Sorry about those who stacked it. Heal up quick.

Oh, and next time Murtle (or anybody), if I fall out of my clips at a traffic light, at zero miles per hour......its obvious that I need to be RUSHED to the 24hr MuckyDee's, just 20 yards away!!

Can anybody tell me why we stopped to get chilled in parks, but wouldn't pull into 24hr-Mucky's for (nasty) coffee on-the-go?

Good to see the regulars, and also meeting Yeh, Jah Tim. Anybody I havn't mentioned, its because of my condition - Hippy has found scientific evidence that fat causes forgetfulness; and I believe him.

Great video, one of my favourite songs too, Sigur Rós are playing in London soon if anyone else is interested in going, no idea of the venue or price though.
