    It's settled! We're going and we'll hopefully be prepared --- we have minewt x2 lights, spare blinky lights, spare tubes, a gps, grenades and train money... will we need locks? We just "trained" this past weekend by doing a 50 miler to the beach complete with heavy drinking. Our plan is 3:30pm Heathrow arrival, then we're checking in to our room in Kensington and napping until it's time to meet at Hyde Park. Needless to say we're super excited about this.

  • It's cool you're coming, neverclever and estherbunny. Just a quick pointer that we're not meeting at Hyde Park, but at Hyde Park Corner, on the large central traffic island under Wellington Arch. Look forward to seeing you there!

  • Absolute legends, hope you manage to get loads of quality sleep then a good stodgy fish and chips in you for riding power. Then come see me riding the alcohauler and i'll hit you up with beers and rum.
    Are you doing cards Oliver?

  • am i really going to need a back brake for this?

  • @MURR - I only live round the corner, I could meet you if you like? I'll be heading that way anyway.

    I'm in Shoreditch if anyone fancies a Liverpool St meet then roll to the main meet.

  • neverclever... the blur song?

  • We could meet at that big concourse outside the station actually on Liverpool st, - i.e not bishopsgate?

    Are you doing cards Oliver?

    Hm, no, I hadn't thought of that. Did you ever do cards for the February run, Crispin? I just realised that I can't remember you handing any out. If anyone wants to do some, you're most welcome!

  • Yeah but couldn't get them laminated in time. I'll see what I can do between now and next weekend. Can anyone laminate?

  • You can pick up a cheap laminating machine from Argosh, or I've got one at work.

  • Half an hour? Thought it was only a few miles. But ok that's cool. I'd imagine the traffic is reasonably quiet at that sorta time? Ahhh dunno. Cheers man

    4 miles, in traffic, on roads you don't know, it could easily end up being best part of 30 min, might not be but that's how long I'd give myself in that situation

    Traffic can heavily vary on a sat night. I've seen empty road and long tailbacks.

  • I've seen empty road and long tailbacks.

    oh i've seen fire, i've seen rain.....

    in other news, i'm rolling from streatham. anyone? anyone?

  • We could meet at that big concourse outside the station actually on Liverpool st, - i.e not bishopsgate?

    I'd be down for a Liverpool St Meet

    Do you mean the bit where McDs is?

    What time do you think?

  • I'd be down for a Liverpool St Meet

    Do you mean the bit where McDs is?

    What time do you think?

    Yup, say 11.15? Should only take us 20-25 to get there?

  • Yup, say 11.15? Should only take us 20-25 to get there?

    Sounds good!

  • Anyone south of the river looking to partner up on the way to Hyde Park?

    (And I still want glow in the dark cards. Make it happen, people.)

    cough
    in other news, i'm rolling from streatham. anyone? anyone?

  • ah.

  • Im skintight so I'll need someone to laminate them for me. They will be glow in the dark too, I can make that happen.

  • I'll need someone to laminate them for me.

    I can make that happen.

  • Glow in the dark & laminated. With these cards you are spoiling us.

  • cough
    in other news, i'm rolling from streatham. anyone? anyone?

    People actually live in Streatham? I thought it was a rumour.

    Crispin, using luminous ink will make you a king.

  • Thats quite exciting! Luminous ftw.
    I might dig thru my collection of site/council/security hi-vis to find a gem worthy of the ride...

  • Ha, hi-viz spoke cards. And it sounds as if it'll be a very musical ride.

  • neverclever... the blur song?

    ha, yes! don't laugh! seeing them at hyde park later that week! it was my excuse to come in the first place but now this ride among other bicycle related activities have turned into the main attraction! a spoke card would be a serious treasure to us!!! i hope to get one! i'll think of something to bring from the states to share...

  • Long-time Blur fan here, my sister's got a ticket to the Goldsmiths Union show, which she's selfishly not giving to me for free the little swine.
