New Members Compass Beer Rides: 7pm Departure Trafalgar Sq

I read you loud and clear, but I thought it only fair to point it out as Easts is the "no fucking hills" drinks.

^^Still dont know how you got up swains so quick on your beach cruiser thing

That is true =P

^^Still dont know how you got up swains so quick on your beach cruiser thing

There was Guinness waiting for me at the top, that's all the motivation I need!

Here's the event I was telling you about http://www.lfgss.com/thread42843.html

You know you want to put your name down =P

I cant even manage one lap, how the hell am I gonna manage 24!! ;p

Drink more Guinness? =P

i cant make the ride but see you at easts later.

Sun is out over the City!

can't make the compass ride but i'll see people at easts..

when is the next compass ride for norths?

Hi is there any rides this week

possibly a full set of compass rides next week
a few of us are thinking of a grand slam next week
norths easts souths and west mon/tues/weds/thurs
watch out for further info in the grand slam thread

and what out for dicki

I'm a newbie, and love cycling but haven't done it in central London - and given I live in London, it's an obvious step to take! I also like drinking. And socialising.

Tell me I'm not too late! The dates for these biking/drinking sessions are for 2009 but a girl can dream, can't she, so tell me if you're starting them up again!

Things we do well on this forum, organise and go on a regular basis to Drinks, wherever they may be, and Ride.
So in the spirit of these two elements, comes the all new,
New Members Compass Beer Rides.

It has been noted that meeting up with a big group of forumengers that you don't know in a pub can be slightly intimidating. So to make it less so, this idea has been put forward to combine drinks and rides.

Think of it as a Forum Fresher's week, without the hazing, so that the previous months new members get a chance to meet up with, and ride with fellow forumengers. Talk bikes, find out where drinks are, and get a good ride in at the same time
You can come out to the beers closest to you, or trek out to a beers on the otherside of town, safe in the knowledge that you'll be with people who a) know where they are going, and that b) someone will be heading back in your general direction so you can ride home in the company of another forumenger.

So For One Week, every couple of months, there will be rides from Trafalgar Sq, to the Beers,

Monday - Souths @ The Coach and Horses
Tuesday - Norths @ The Flask or
Tuesday - South Easts @ The Kings Arms or
**Tuesday - Trixie Dix @ **White's Row Car Park Roof. White's Row, Off Commercial Street
Wednesday - Easts @ The Royal Inn on the Park
Thursday - Wests @ The Crabtree or The Ship (season dependent)
Sunday - Polo @ Downham Rd Polo Courts.

A couple of regulars from each beers will be at Trafalgar Sq from approx 6.30 for a prompt 7pm departure, (1pm for a 1.30pm departure on Sunday) And will take any new member who so wishes for a ride which will arrive at beers/polo.

The Next Compass Beer Rides will be
May 11-17** 2009**.

with provisional dates for the following being

Jun 8-14.
July 13-19
Sept 7-13

Edit: The route to beers from Trafalgar Sq is to be decided by the regular who will be leading the group. Personally I think the route should be scenic and fun, and shouldn't be too breakneck a pace. Any suggestions for routes are welcome, just post them up here, or in the routes database.

Depending on how many new members/faces sign up and add their names to the ubiquitous forum list, the dates can be moved on a month or two, or brought forward.

So New Members start here, come down to the ride to the beers, introduce yourself to other new and regular members, get a good ride into a beers, enjoy a soothing alcoholic beverage in the soothing presence of your new found bike friends and get a warm and fuzzy feeling at being welcomed into the collective forum bosom.

Ps.
I didn't include the John Snow or the Foundry on the Compass Beers list, since they are fairly adhoc events, sometimes, people head to them, sometimes not. So thought it'd be best to leave them off.
Also the meeting up and departure time could be bought forward by half an hour if enough people want to meet and leave earlier.

That is all...

So where do you live?
Which one would you like to do?
You pick the day and people will gather. Someone will lead it and everyone will have fun.

Zocked! The compass ride happen as and when people need them. So since you happen to want one and I hear the weather in old London towns been good how about a compass ride
16-22 August.
Chainbreaker I'll leave you to grab some oldtimers/newtimers to lead the way...
