2010-04-25 Sun 10am - Revenge of the 50 Fixed Women!

Can I be so bold as to suggest that the first "Ladies Drinks" be at Look Ma No Hands? I was there tonight, the place is pretty cool, we talked about the possibility of a women's mechanics class too.. the basics or more if people were interested.

I agree completely, I ride past there twice a day and it looks very cool. Not been in though - really want to. Lets make this happen ladies!
ps built my first wheel last night and feeling very happy with myself :)

You built a wheel? Nice clara!
I'm a bit slow, what cafe on Old St?

A tentative 'in' for the L2B ride as only have fixed and June is my month of birthday drinkings so will have to see when.

5. Cafewanda (gulp!)
   
6. WingedAngel
   
7. Wicksie +1
   

Yep, defo up for drinks at Look Ma...

erm, I also don't have a geared bike so would be doing the Brighton ride SS (ie. probably not very fast) so maybe we plan to have a faster/geared group and then others - and just be prepared for a group split? Could that be an option?

BTW, as I've already forgotten many peoples' names (except you, Emmajean!) I propose we post photos so we can refer to them in the future.

I'll start!

Sweet I'm tentatively in (cant do mid june). i also dont have a geared bike so would be doing it fixed

Ladies drinks = awesome idea, def count me in for those and ladies mechanics class for sure. I spent an embarrassingly long time removing mudguards and panniers off my old bike last night and that's not even mechanical!

If on the L2B ride there will be a non geared group count me in.

Think we should all ride it together at the speed of the slowest rider. more fun this way

^ yes

I'll ride L2B fixed with whoever wants to do so non-geared. (I can't promise I'll make it up ditchling but I'll try)

Loads of fun is what I had last Sunday.

Thanks Clefty and every lovely lady who attended to make it happened. I joined the ride close to the end - to the pub ;) - the chit-chat's, laughs and Jayloo having a go in my bike, priceless. Anytime you want, just let me know.

The ride back... ouch! still hurts. I was enjoying so much the riding, bit tipsy, bit high, charming company, cinematic sunlight.
I was drafting Clefty, over Hammersmith bridge, I felt like delighting myself with the views of the river landscape, submerged in my thoughts ( life can be beautiful...) One second I was moving, keeping the right distance, the next half of second I was on the floor/road, can't remember well how it happened, but it definitely did. When I saw all of you worrying about me, I had to laugh. I knew it was my pot-head which got distracted with the scenario...

My left side of the body got all the impact. The knee properly bleeding, elbow... but now my left hip is going through all the colors palette, and the right palm, ay!. Though we still managed to stop in an another pub for more fun.

@nny, I need get some bits & pieces ready for the polo bike, though nearly there. Now that I am on the mood of hitting the floor, I've got no excuse ;-)

Good ideas coming up in here for meetings like this, sweet.

Gracias everyone.

@ Jacqui. Interested in both. Dates?

whenever we want? I'm there thursday for the launch so they're super focused on that just now, but I'll get dates at the weekend and see what works

Totally agree.

@diapo, don't forget you can borrow my polo bike whenever you like, just shoot me a pm when you want to come along. xxx

Have you done your polo bike E? Woo! Are you coming tomorrow?

^ok, so it's in bits... but i haz all the bits so this counts right? :P i am going to build it up tonight - slight glitch, the cranks i wanted to use are fucked, so have another set BUT now i only have a 42t ring, which at 42/21 might be a bit high - but ok for now...
i also need a brake caliper, but other than that, i am good to go! so tongiht i'll have it all together
probs going to go to Newington tomorrow eve, wonder if we can have the second court again?

42t is better than no t so you should definitely come! Fingers crossed on the second court action.
Get ye to the jumble on Saturday and I'll see you there looking for bits for Dean's build. Race you to the 36t.

yeh exactly, it will do for now..
i'll be at the track on saturday morning anyway, so yar, i'll have a quick look at the jumble after training. see you tomorrow at newt.

Hi ladies - up for london 2 brighton, depending on date (& bike- I'm currently both geared & slow.)

Look Ma looks great venue for first,will keep eye out for updates (new 'beers' thread praps?)

Wed is good for me as well, I will be fresh back from volcano land.
(hopefully)

Weds is polo night :(

But you could go to polo too... it's not that far from downham.

weds is newington night. but old st is not that far from newington either :)

if we did every wednesday and rotated it to different places.. that would be ace. If everyones happy with that I'll do a deal for us for next wednesday. Yes?
