2009-04-04 Sat - Monopoly Night Ride 2009

oh bugger I missed another ride!

Thanks for leading a really nice ride, Seb!

That was a bit crazy...but good fun...even my bit of unexpected cyclo cross. That girl will know better than to lean out of the window of a posh car next to a big pile of builders sand while a fast moving cyclist is coming through next time :)

Oh...and i got a damn puncture 5 minutes from Grobag towers! ggrrr

yeah nice ride, i got to see the bits of the route that i missed out on last year (all the bits after Angel).

cheers for leading, flickwg, but next time can we stop at a pub? ;)

You could probably make a nice LFGSS Monopoly Board, with the four main drinks pubs replacing stations.

i don't know where any of the drinks pubs are!

The 'you' was meant to be the general 'you'. :)

Fun ride, thanks for organising!

It was a great ride: really varied, from exploring the depths of Islington to high speeds down Pall Mall to dodging traffic and high-heeled peds on Regent St. I chuckled when we went past a club and the bouncer goes "argh there's fucking hundreds of them".

Great to meet more people too.

And Alex/Seb I worked out finally that the weird noise coming from my bike was down to loose nipples. So there ya go.

damn totally forgot about this ride.

Cheers Seb for a wicked ride 'round ye olde London towne' It was good to see the board come to life.

I either need to get faster legs or my gears aint right!

Also, I cant remeber the names of folk on the night. Any chance folk could remind me?

Yes, where's the Bond Street station picture? Who took that?

I forgot to mention that when I turned down Berwick St during the ride, a taxi was revving up behind me and beeping, just from Ox St till I turned off at Gt Marl. I hadn't run a red or anything wrong. As I turned the corner to Gt Marl he shouted 'Pufter!' out his window at me. When I turned to shout 'wanker' back at him, I spotted the he even had a passenger in the back. Nice bloke. Clearly not a fan of top hats and bow ties.

He was just doing his bit for communism.

I hadn't run a red or anything wrong.... he shouted 'Pufter!'

Perhaps that was why?

Johnny T - good to meet you too.

Alex / Last Caress took the Bond St pic so we should give him another, say, two hours before we all starting PMing him with photo requests.

Can we PM Last Caress yet for that pic?

Hey! Sorry it took so long to get these up - wasn't my camera, had to get the pics off someone else, yadda yadda.

Enjoy these shitty, shaky pics.

Marks and sparks will be on the phone asking to use that first one to promote their cheap coke.

For some reason, now it's dark and getting cold... it feels like the time to dress up and do something silly.

Are people up for another Monopoly ride soon?

after the other nights circle line ride i'm well keen for another as soon as.

A Monopoly Ride, genius.

Count me in as circle ride was good fun.
Something very special about riding in a group in London at night.

Don't know how I missed this ride twice already before. Well up for it.
