2009-03-21 Sat - The Bridges VI - West to East

Well the only time I would really be free would be 7th March or 4th April, so I say we stick with the 21st and I'll just have to try and tag along at some point.

Freaking typical.

What's happening on the 21st? Truly not a date you can clear?

    Well nice one guys - you've made it look like I've organised a really good ride that has thus far been very popular and I CAN'T MAKE THE FUCKING DATE!

I have a really important exhibition that weekend including a 'shindiggy-do' on the Saturday night, followed by a 12pm start on Sunday. If I can get out of the party early enough then I may have to join you part way along. I really wanted to be able to do this!

How about I decide that I want to change the date? Seeing as it's my ride an all! That would probably go down about as well as an egg mayo fart in a very crowded and small lift going all the way to the top.

Well the other post was whingey, I'll go with what you've said in this post instead, it's got balls.

If its your ride then change the date, riders will still come.

It wasn't 'whingey' it was 'commenty'.

I'm personally looking forward to the overnight drag race to Brighton via bridges, in tweed and vintage cycling jerseys GSIAD.

Fixed.

I would usually... but the 7th is the memorial ride and post that people will hit the pub... a bridges ride where the majority of people have been drinking for almost 12 hours?

And pushing it later it butts up to the vintage jersey ride... not a problem really but there's always been a consensus to try and not plan things at the same time where possible so that there's always a nice steady stream of things to do.

What sucks is that I forced the decision to prevent the numbers being too large (which will happen if it's further into the future), and lurker desperately wants to do the ride but is heavily time-constrained and only able to do 2 dates in the next 6 weeks (if you want a ride, state the date up front or be flexible about it).

We could change it... but the 7th March (the memorial ride date) is probably a bad idea... a bit later is better, but the numbers are likely to be 150+ again, probably closer to 200 if there's too much time for people to get on board.

And as lurker said that he'd rather have the date stick and try and join us partway... well for someone time constrained that works pretty well. We've all missed stuff we've wanted to do... the saving grace is that rides and events are pretty frequent, another will be along within a few months.

Mmmm James, I'm on top of you....

You do worry me sometimes Phil......

BTW;
How long does the ride take roughly and are there are pit stops atall, or is it a non-stopper ?

Or if we stop, do we just catch up..... ?

The last one took about 4 hours to complete, plenty of piss stops and puncture fixing stops too. Its a gentle pace don't worry.

Four hours !??

Cool, I was worried about wee wee stops.

:)

Much beer was pissed that night, and 150 riders move pretty slow too.

You dont have to do the whole thing, im pretty sure you can leave at any time.

Quite a few dropped out along the way, but its a nice ride and fun to complete it.

What no chaining to each other ?

cool, hope the weather is good.... dry at least.... be fun.

:)

Sarcasm, hurts.
But yeah, i heard a few just went so they could say they went, so they showed up at Traf Sq and did one bridge then left.
Buuut, if i were by myself and didnt know anyone, i would have just left at some point aswell.

Last Novembers ride was superb, cool dry evening with no rain. Check out the vids of it in the Bridges Ride V.
