New Members Compass Beer Rides: 7pm Departure Trafalgar Sq

matt-ha. The compass rides are a great idea but dont wait for that. Get yourself to the Kings Arms (SE) tonight for a beer of two. Or, even better, come up to norths!

Hey Matt, you're getting me motivated too. I'd also be up for April.

posted last night so cheating by posting again but here goes: April would be cool.

If it's happening, count me in.

What better way to end that week in April than to go on a big forum ride? ;)

best get your jerseys soon if you're coming!

Sorry to butt in Corny. As you were.

Its Time

Check out the new date.

Things we do well on this forum, organise and go on a regular basis to Drinks, wherever they may be, and Ride.
So in the spirit of these two elements, comes the all new,
New Members Compass Beer Rides.

It has been noted that meeting up with a big group of forumengers that you don't know in a pub can be slightly intimidating. So to make it less so, this idea has been put forward to combine drinks and rides.

Think of it as a Forum Fresher's week, without the hazing, so that the previous months new members get a chance to meet up with, and ride with fellow forumengers. Talk bikes, find out where drinks are, and get a good ride in at the same time
You can come out to the beers closest to you, or trek out to a beers on the otherside of town, safe in the knowledge that you'll be with people who a) know where they are going, and that b) someone will be heading back in your general direction so you can ride home in the company of another forumenger.

So For One Week, every couple of months, there will be rides from Trafalgar Sq, to the Beers,

**Monday - Souths @ The Coach and Horses
Tuesday - Norths @ The Flask or
Tuesday - South Easts @ The Kings Arms or
Tuesday - Trixie Dix @ **White's Row Car Park Roof. White's Row, Off Commercial Street
** Wednesday - Easts @ The Royal Inn on the Park
Thursday - Wests @ The Crabtree or The Ship (season dependent)
Sunday - Polo @ Downham Rd Polo Courts.**

A couple of regulars from each beers will be at Trafalgar Sq from approx 6.30 for a prompt 7pm departure, (1pm for a 1.30pm departure on Sunday) And will take any new member who so wishes for a ride which will arrive at beers/polo.

The Next Compass Beer Rides will be
May 11-17** 2009**.

I'll lead the West beers ride on Thursday 14th May. Keep back though, I like crashing.

Happy to lead another crew West as well..

I will try and lead the North lot. I missed out last time.

I'm gonna miss this one but i'm gonna postpone my planned revision week grand slam a week to do the may one.

I will be an *unable *lieutenant

i will fill the massive shoes vacated by Mr Arvy

ah bugger i'm in the 'Dam for work that week :-(

Does anyone want to come to polo? Last time there was one person! But if anyone's interested, I'd be happy to lead a ride to souths on wednesday and possibly wests on monday.

...a prompt 7pm departure...

.

Count me in for the Trixie-Dix ride on this one, I may need to go via clerkenfixed/theobolds road though to avoid getting lost though lol. I'm happy to lead or whatever :)

ha! it would be quicker to go south of the river james :-)

Fair point, I don't know my way round west that well, maybe someone else should lead lol, I wouldn't mind tagging along though, i'm sure it'll be fun.

I'm up for this. I need to get out and find some people to ride with and beers seems like the best place to start. The only hitch being that my wife has forbidden me to drink and ride.

Not sure how I'll manage that one.

I am also up for this. I've been lurking for ages (sans account)... finally got a build together.

Souths would work for me. The Coach and Horses is just round the corner from my girlfriend's house...

Yoo, I am down for whatever, just need a bike, mine got pilfered, so if anyone has one cheep let me know and I will be there, cheers, also anyone ride around in stokenewington angle area?
