Who rode to NYs eve party last night?

  • So who did the heroic thing and rode over (and back) to your new years eve party?

  • whats heroic about riding a bike?

  • heroic? isnt that pretty standard? i wouldnt have contemplated doing anything different.....

    ......if my bike and all my stuff hadnt been locked in this blokes house where i left it as he locked himself out opening up to me hoping to retrieve my stuff. damn

    it brought my night to a premature end as my means to make it to next party disappeared.

    walked to nearest friends house.

  • I rode to the shops this morning.

  • I got milk (Semi) and some Goosebury Jam!

  • If I had've, it probably would've been the best part of my night =P

  • Milk gave you a semi?

  • It's the pleasts, it's an optical illusion, it's just the pattern on the pants...

  • Up to Dalston for the Urban Voodoo Machine, carried my suit and changed there...

  • good night, fella?

  • I rode to my mates in the afternoon. Then, much later on, I decided that I would go back to my mates and pick my bike up and ride home. That didn't work out.

  • i was at a pub, out for a cigarette, and just left and went home (this is about 11pm).

    the evidence of this morning is that i had some toast, and was sick in my bed. and i remember at some point this friend cleaning me up whilst her boyfriend looked on in disgust.

  • i rode there.

    but i was too pissed to ride back. i had already fallen over three times.

    so i walked my bike back. (but the old bill still asked me what i was up to).

    but i still managed to fall over again.

    a fall over four times in one night night.

    and yesterday i was in bed all day sick. never again.

  • good night, fella?

    Spot on, how was yours?

  • @velo: It wasn't the hair stuck to the pillow syndrome was it? Hope not, that's ugly.

    We have my 22year old nephew Tim over from sunny California, so I thought it would be fun for him if we both rode over to a mates for the night. It was frosty when we left. We forbade ourselves to cycle at a rate that would make us break a sweat, but it was hopeless; in the cold there's an overwhelming propensity to get warm. We got there and as soon as we hit the heaving indoors we started perspiring horribly.
    We didn't see-in the new year as we didn't want to get mixed up with returning revellers in cars on ice. We took to the back lanes at about 11:00PM and saw maybe three cars out. We took a stiff pace but we never really got warm, it was indeed parky. Single malts at home sorted us out pretty quick though.

    To travel the last fourteen miles of 2009 on a bike felt good though.

  • ^ nice to hear the word parky. parkey? good, underappreciated word.

    i got two punctures. glass is a bastard substance, even if it can contain lovely drinks.

  • i got the bus

  • My brother, having not ridden a bike for about 15 years decided it would be a good idea to borrow the wifes bike and cycle home at 4am. How he made it I will never know. He almost crashed just getting on it. Classic

  • @fluff: Aye, and we 'ad one raight 'brant' hill too; 247ft in 500 yards.

  • @velo: It wasn't the hair stuck to the pillow syndrome was it? Hope not, that's ugly.

    no luckily my pillow was mostly unscathed. a towel was put beneath me so it wasn't that bad.

    changing the sheets yesterday was not pretty though.

    i have started to vomit less, but whenever i do i always do it in bed now.

    maybe this is a sign i need to drink less.

    nah... sounds more like a bad pint to me

  • I was chauffeur-driven to my NYE party venue (gf's bro is a driver :)).
    I walked up a hill to watch fireworks.
    I caught some buses home.
    I used bus and tube to get to Bugged Out NYD party
    I used a minicab to get to someone's house afterwards.
    I used a night bus and black cab to get home.

    I haven't touched a bike since last year..
