Postponed! - Pirate Ride

As I will be riding straight from Richmond Park, is there someone with whom I can entrust my piratical gear for me to don at the Cutty Sark?

where would pirates spend their booty? drink their grog etc?

Somewhere in the City as that was pretty much London in those days. St Katherine's Dock? Pool of London (area between Tower and London Bridges) which was the main shipping place in London in them days.

where's going to create most pirate on a bike mayhem?

Greetings folks,
Nice one Cliveo - a good read that. It says in there that most pirates were 'notorious for their foul language and heavy drinking.' That suits the forum nicely...

Help needed with the route... I'm being shipped out to Zurich early tomorrow morning on very late notice, and route planning was going to be tomorrow and Tuesday (as I have exams on Wednesday and Thursday evenings).

Since I'm now in the wrong city for the planning... help please!

This is what I currently had down:

• Cutty Sark (Start Point)
  > Foot tunnel to get North of the river, follow Westferry Road to ride parallel to the Thames Westwards to the Limehouse Link. Not sure on doing the Limehouse link with such numbers, so go North slightly and West to pick up Limehouse Causeway and Narrow Street. Very short bit on the Highway before...
  
• King Edward Memorial Park (is now the site where Gun Powder Dock used to be, where the East India Company held their fleet of policing ships)
  > South West down Wapping Wall and Wapping High St
  
• The Captain Kidd pub (where the gallows used to be) It's a Sam Smiths, so cheap as chips and a could be a good Rum stop. The gallows were on Execution Dock in Wapping which has now moved east 50m
  > Weave back to Wapping Lane and go North
  
• Tobacco Dock where 2 replica pirate ships reside
  > Follow canal West and South to Vaughan Way, weave South West to the river and follow the Thames to St Katherines Dock
  
• Tower of London, where the pirates were held prior to execution
  > Over Tower Bridge and then West along Tooley Street to get to London Bridge
  
• The Golden Hinde at Pickfords Wharf
  > West somehow to Blackfriars Bridge and over the bridge as under that point is where the River Fleet used to be where multiple drop-off points used to be. West along the Embankment and North on Arundel St to get to The Strand
  
• Somerset House on the Strand because it was the location of the Treaty of London which ended the Spanish / English war in which the Spanish Armada was lost. As a tax office it also represents the authority that ultimately governed taxation of the ports (but not really until the very end of the age of pirates).
  > Who knows what happens here, possibly Trafalgar Square and Admiralty Arch for their naval connections.
  
• Soho Theatre Bar, 21 Dean Street from 7:30pm for Cornelius Blackfoot (that's a pirate name if ever I've heard one) leaving drinks.
  
  

As a vague route this currently looks like this:
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/LFGSS-Pirate-Ride-draft

Which is only 8.4 miles... so needs extending a little... I was thinking of rum stops towards the end ;)

the maritime museum in greenwich

Perhaps a loop at the beginning for this stuf?

Which is only 8.4 miles... so needs extending a little... I was thinking of rum stops towards the end ;)

I thought perhaps the route should take in London's modern day spiritual home of Pirates but they shut the Somali Embassy in 1992................

rocking up to a somali restaurant all in pirate costumes wouldnt go down too well would it?

i thought not. ahh well.

sorry if i missed something.

Shiver me timbers!

I'm out.

Fuck Velocio, I'm pirating this ride.
I'll tell you the ride starts at 14:30.
And the Start is The Cutty Sark- Cos I've never even seen it.

I'm out.

There must be a piratical term for the Cap'n deserting his men.

this is piracy my friend.
