2009-08-22 Sat - The Bridges VII - East to West

ex sas guy turned out was quality bloke. I was the bar man working at the blue anchor.
he came back in a lil later and said he wanted to buy you guys a round so gave me 20 quid to buy any one who was involved a drink. So lets sort this out when can he buy you a round?

Ps guy who got knocked out really was asking for it was yelling at every one and smashing glasses he was DICK HEAD

Jesus.... small world mate.
Do you know how the guy who got hit is doing?

Fun ride at a decent pace. Sure there were plenty of stops, but that comes with the territory. Thanks Ma3k for organising.

I would echo Harry's point about bad riding though: please do try to be aware of others around you when riding in a group, and check over your shoulder before changing course (e.g. pulling out to overtake).

fucking front wheel blew out after second bridge then i had to walk for 3 hours all the way to fulham!! gutted, cant wait for next one

Outstanding night out - not planning to move today save to the stagger to achieve Bloody Marys.

Highlights - the approx £3Trillion worth of potential RLJ fines, indicating with a beer can on Waterloo bridge, party_paul's persistent inability to perform a skid.

So I finally get to put a face to the internet hard man. Well what can I say other than your a fat, ugly, bald cunt, and you didn't fall through with any of your threats. Mate that image you try and portray does not suit you at all. Any time your ready buddy, let me know. Nice riser bars on that concept by the way WAC. Oh yeah don't forget to tell the missus Big Deano sends his love, you fucking middle aged forum hipster, grow up biatch.

and the rest of you lot were eating my dust all night.

WTF!!?!? Didn't even see you.......if you were such a bigmouth yourself(all your bullshit PM's I've had off you) why didn't you introduce yourself??

Prick!

Fun ride at a decent pace. Sure there were plenty of stops, but that comes with the territory. Thanks Ma3k for organising.

I would echo Harry's point about bad riding though: please do try to be aware of others around you when riding in a group, and check over both shoulders before changing course (e.g. pulling out to overtake).

Yeah was good fun last night...

...see you at the next one.

Oh and all my idle threats of buying a car and dooring the lot of you...i take it back.

Way to break my lfgss ride cherry ! Awesome times. Thanks to the crew that I road back to dalston with and all for organising such a good ride !

I don't buy the whole 'it's too slow/too many stops' thing. Well come on one of the big rides then you fannies!

k n a ck e r e d

top night people, loved the off road section

Yeah Owen, the off road bit was wicked, dark as fuck, i loved looking back over my sholder and seeing nothing but front lights.

I don't buy the whole 'it's too slow/too many stops' thing. Well come on one of the big rides then you fannies!

Haha!

Great ride, my first :)

Ended up doing 47 miles as missed a turn back to Lewisham!

Where are the pics/videos at frm last night?

Cheers

Bringing back the MTB skills. The downside of the off road bit drinking a bow at the same time. I now have a nice strongbow coloured bartape

What a great ride - especially the breakaway group and the run from hammersmith to kew - that was absolute quality, thanks fellas.

+1...great fun... and the 40 minute wait in Kew, wondering how much a room between 200 people would be to keep the bar open...

fucking front wheel blew out after second bridge then i had to walk for 3 hours all the way to fulham!! gutted, cant wait for next one

Mate, how unlucky man! Hope u are not too gutted.

Big up to a guy that i met by City Hall, Dave from Reading, he took the train to London and he was going to pedal back to Reading straight after the ride.

Tbh, I was fed up after 45mins/an hour....too many stops, what for?! I understand stopping and or slowing down every now and then for people to catch up or if someone gets a puncture/injury but stopping every mile just so people can have a fag and a can of beer is not my idea of a good ride - hence why a few of us fucked off at Wandsworth Bridge, straight through to the end

I think some of the stops were valuable to keep us all together but the stops were a little long IMO, but then again it's a social ride and hanging around smoking and drinking is social.

hope not too many moan about the ride when we should really be thanking the people at the front for going the right way and general organisation of the ride

Thanks too all that made a great night

Mate, how unlucky man! Hope u are not too gutted.

not to gutted, just hurry up and organise a next one!! lol in need of a massive ride now

.

Yeah spot on dude, all you lot are pissheads! =D

But on the other side of the coin much thanks to those who raged a brother out in kew, so solidly appreciated...

Where are the flicks/vids?!

I needed long and regular stops to drink stout.
