...its like sitting on a razor blade...

gutted i'm not going, have a good one guys

Would you fucking believe it....

Double puncture 2mins into riding to the meeting point!

Major sense of humour loss.

Can anyone text Fresh to tell him I'm having to bail on this.....His number isnt in the numbers thread....

or anyone on the ride really...just a courtesy thing so no-ones waiting or anything

Bummer......

Good fun ride. Cheers Dougie!

twas major fun, met alot of new people, Ev_, emab, george sportif, dilworth, and others whose real names and forum names have fallen away. But it was good meeting you all. Nice route, nice company, good pace, and only one semi serious mechanical.

roll on vintage jersey ride two.

ps. Many thanks to Fresh, for being the driving force behind the vintage jersey run, the jerseys on display were all gorgeous...

see you on the next one..

that ride was awesome. needs more hills next time.
I am deadout

Brilliant ride, fantastic company, the route worked really well, and the only thing that went wrong is that we should have got two rounds in at the Victoria. Totally loved it, one of the nicest rides I've been on for quite a while!

Roll on the next one soon!

i had a brilliant time , i suprisingly enjoyed the hills, the company was fantastic. the only thing i would have changed would have been the addition of a magic wand to have enabled all the people that wanted to be there being there. i know that when they see the pictures they will wish they had..... maybe next time eh?
i will put them all on flickr and then add the link to this thread in about an hour. this will be the first pict. the man who's idea it was , the man who made it happen. Fresh thank you very much for a lovely day may your glass of london pride never be empty.

coppiThat

ps i hope everybody got captured in my pics

S***T! The weather looks quite crap tomorrow???!!

Congratulations to the 30+ cyclists who ignored the horrible forecasts to embark on the Vintage Jersey Ride.

We all enjoyed fantastic scenery, memorable rolling hills, good company and drinks, all accompanied with no rain.

Thanks to Dante for showing us what duct tape can fix.

Hats off to Fresh for organizing this Easter Sunday ride.

Can't wait until the next one.

well done guys, and well done the freshmeister...looks great, didn't think I'd be around today due to family commitments, then I was but with a screwed leg!

My first forum ride and certainly of first of many (i hope)!
Great day out, good riding and ace company!
What a thoroughly nice bunch you all are!
Thank you to Mr. Fresh for his organising skills, and to all who had such kind words for the 'Spooner'!

Will be going to the America early May and will sadly miss Vintage Jersey II (Merino's Revenge?) but will definitely be thinking of y'all!
Any of you happen to be in LA and want a run out May-Aug then shout!

Spotted... I was bombing up Kingsland Rd about 6.30pm today, and waiting at a junction on the left was a guy in a bright yellow jersey and blue cap standing next to a lady with long blonde hair. Gotta be someone on here....

It was a great ride! Thank you Fresh.

I am still crap at hills and was quite impressed with my gps bleeping at me telling me to do a u-turn whenever convenient. That machine was made for me.

Jaygee is now in bed with a massive cold, I took the glass of wine from him and replaced it with a herbal tea.

Love to all.

Oh one of my favourite moments of the day: the captain of the Neptune!

I took this picture for you, so I hope you like it!
