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

Guys, I'm a little new to all this forum hooha and was kind of hoping someone would just point me in a right direction..... calander says drinks south every monday.... I'm not originally from London, but south in a city like London is a bit vague isn't it? Can someone tell where I need to go to get lessons in cool?

You need East drinks every Wednesday for cool. There be dragons south.
serious answer - the title of the south drinks thread has the pub and postcode. It's between Claphams North and Common.

Easts is Victoria Park - Inn on the Park by the way

great vid.

Never mind the video ZED
Why the hell were you not waiting at the end with beer n chips?

Good fun ride I thought, despite having two crashes, apolgies to serk and a guy I was riding behind on the way back who was trying to avoid a drunk on the pavement.

Dude, don't worry about it. If that damn Limo would have turned right when we all thought it was going to, or if I had been able to twist my foot out of the cleat then we would have been fine. Besides, hearing the cheer behind us as I crashed into you was one of my highlights of the night!

Thanks to everyone for a great ride! I took a video over Albert Bridge and I'll post it when I get to a better Internet connection.

Props to Ma3K.
Bright Times in London Town.
Highlight for me was burning through Putney with Pickle (i'm a plane) and Jim (You probably don't remember, but the timing of your melons gag at the v.end was comedy gold).
Oh, and being left holding the bike as the whole pack took off (mo-mo...ha!)

• Heal fast Simon J ?
  
  

Thanks for holding my bike. We did a pretty good bit of sprinting to catch up so no big loss. It was Johnny we were waiting on! ;)

You're not wrong...
And seeing as the bike in question is particularly attractive, aswell as being deceptively quick, it was a pleasure.
I think it may even be too fast for you ;)

I'm a girl and I was there! I had a wicked time, it was my first forum ride and certainly won't be the last. Must remember to pack more of my friend mister famous grouse next time though and less utterly useless shit

Yes, bring booze to share and introduce yourself to me.

Cheers.

The Coach and Horses SW4 7EX

And this is the thread for more info.

Hey, I'm a lfgss virgin, enjoyed the bridges no end. My initial thought was that it was like critical on speed. Perhaps the stops were a bit long but otherwise a great night. Got a bit lost going home though - should have taken n.circular (30mins) but went through every bit of west london and got home 3am. Looking forward to the next one.

Here's what I filmed and "edited" on my phone - so apologies for the crap quality (especially the sound)

See, now i'm not sure what this conversation has gotten on to. I was joking mate. Nothing wrong with girl cyclists. It was a joke.

And she's probably getting more ;o)

Fixing a puncture is one man job

Not true.

At least 5 other people should stand around the 'victim' critisising their technique and/or hiding their pump/patches/tubes/bag.

NO worries mate! No harm done.
Treacherous piss heed dodging at 2 am!!!!

HAHA hipster soundbyte @ 4:39 "well, I think it's Ironic"

I've no desire to ban you from my holiday, so I'll do it when I get back to London if that's alright with you.

Jesus, why do you have to take one of the best forum rides and make it the domain of your small penis.

I guess it's no more Mr Nice Guy.

And she's probably getting more ;o)

God the blanket generalisations are flying.... girls are crap on bikes but they ride better and get more? Certainly some confused male brains out there.

None more so than Balki's.
You have been warned.

They're joking kattiep.. When you get to know more people on the forum you'll recognise their characters and styles of humour ^_^
