2010-04-25 Sun 6am - London Marathon Ride

It almost looks like the cameraman is trying really hard to NOT get us in shot

ace video guys, love how they try to pan the camera away from all the bikes going past!!

Love the editing of the movie Ellis!

Both video are class! i'm so pissed i didn't ride through it with you guys in the main group. that is the last time i stop for anyone and give out stuff for free, not one piece of gratitude from the hipster cunt either.

1.15 definitely JD I can hear doing his "Hellooo!"

Ace ride everyone. Really chuffed I made it down The Mall this year and dodged the rozzers! Good work everyone on your pictures and videos, finally got my pictures sorted out, check them out here:

Cool site by the way keepsake

Haha, one of JD's famous "Hiya" at 1:18.

Hahahahahaha! Brilliant... :D

ellis love the video and choice of music even though i wasnt in the first group i felt so goosepimply watching it. thanks.

the bbc clip was 3 minutes long and for 2 minutes of that we were steadily streaming past and we didnt even get a mention! hahaha i was screaming at the computer scream "look over your shoulder ya robot" and "it's behind you!"
:-)
it was such a lovely morning. cheers all.

I can't believe they stopped the later group from going past the finish line at the end. It looked so fun in that vid. Nice one ellis.

Great ride too. Cheers coppiThat. Definitely worth getting up at 4 to do the 50 mile round trip from the west. Good, fast pace and very friendly people. Hopefully see some of you again on the bridges ride on saturday. Oh and nice review mashton ;)

We were so fucking late, so after the first million riders had gone through someone superior had probably given word to stop the debacle so they came down hard on us.

I did hear some jobsworth on his radio at the finish saying "We have to get control of these bikes". Tosspot

That BBC video, precisely 1:15 in. Needs sound.

Oh bollocks, must read thread before posting.

Fucking hell.. if Pisti and teens were in the "fast" bunch...

LOL. The more people keep saying it, the more ashamed I am to be in one of the very the late groups, but our navigation was horrendous. I dropped to near the back at the start of the ride due to drinking a can of cider to get rid of my horrible hangover, so already there wasn't a clear direction to head in at times. When we got to Rotherhithe Tunnel roundabout there was some confusion and a few of us ended up sitting there for about 5 minutes trying to work out what was going on, we lost the route at the end of The Highway, around Canary Wharf, and other places too. I recall someone saying we actually did 18-14 backwards then we turned round and did some of it forwards again. We wasted time stopping to ask directions from coppers, workmen etc, I actually met the policeman who responded to my 999 call when I was forced off the road by a taxi who I chatted to quickly. Then when we were nearing Blackfriars we got held up because they were laying the comms cables over the road and we had to stop and from then on we had got to the point where police were telling us to piss off so massive diversions ensued.

Yes I know, excuses, excuses.

No you're a cunt.

I'm a cunt as well, but don't care cos it was still fun.

That video is very cool Ellis, what's the camera?

It's a GoPro HD, squished down for vimeo. I'm impressed at how stable the footage is, it was just stuck to the front of my frame!

I'd recomend them, totally waterproof aswell when in its case. Only downside is it records 30 fps not 25.

I'll bring it along to the next rideout I get down for aswell - not sure how good it is at night though

ps, if anyone else gets one / has one / films anything would be v happy to collate footage into a little film for next time - would be great if there were some facing backward etc

1.15 definitely JD I can hear doing his "Hellooo!"

Its not hello! its "Hiya". and i thought they would have scrapped the broadcast. But it was a live link!

Fucking hell.. if Pisti and teens were in the "fast" bunch...

Neg repped... Don't believe the hype, hippy, down south we roll hard and we roll fast... ;P

I just cant believe i missed out on greeting skully.

TS - it was good seeing you. Wish i had a chance to roll with the big boys...

you didn't miss much with skully, cb

Its not hello! its "Hiya". and i thought they would have scrapped the broadcast. But it was a live link!

I was chatting to JD as he did that! Fantastic that it made the broadcast.
