put a donk on it...

+101

Hope you either got to where you were going or caught up with the group after me and chris bailed at the foot tunnel.

We rode through it and got a nice friendly ticking off from the lift guy. Finally got to have my fry-up breakfast at about half 4.

Naughty... I meandered home via Tower Bridge for fish and chips. Nice to meet you, chris, little white bike, spudger and many others!

Good fun ride, could have done without the rain though...

showing a friend around town who requested a riverside pub - as we approached the Angel we saw the mass of bikes! overheard a couple of guys at the table behind us remark "They look really strange" at some people coming and going, his companion said "Cyclists, innit."
glad you made it through the rain - took the ferry myself on friday night, a treat as always.

I liked today. A good ride with good people (particularly the bloke who seemed highly unimpressed with cyclists with cyclists on his ferry) and good times all round.

Thanks to John for organizing, thanks to Corny for transmission of information.

i wonder who was that chap in citroen, as we were crossing the road in Charlton, shouted "Do a skid" out of a car

Yay! That was fun. Thank you nice people.

Spotted an NCR spokecard. Scum!

yours, Paladin Glover

yay looking forward to it! also thanks to you and your friends for the ride back- despite the slight wrong against-traffic turn we made >_<

Excellent stuff, good to meet some new people.

We bailed at the boozer, only to be struck by karma with a puncture then a pinch-flat for our anti-social behaviour - ended up on Bermondsey Street fixing it under a heat lamp in a beer garden.

Thanks to the organisers! I'll pop a couple of photos up later.

Great ride, all - and thanks to Kuba for the tube, I'll get you back on the next one!

Good ride! good to see new forumers aswell as old.
Thanks to Tibbs for the muffin, awesome snack to eat at the halfway point.
Only bad point was my friend dropping his bike lock and keys in the thames.

dropping?

Got that in the video!

great fun, 'cept the rain and mate getting lost en route to the Angel.....

hopefully see a few of you on the next bridges ride

Oh, and good meeting Tibbs at the beginning :-)

Good to put a face to a name!

favourite bikes from ride.
girl on black/yellow steve waugh (i think).
polished cinelli mash.
blue bob jackson
guy with curly hair on matt black (de stickered dolan i think).

seems to be a lot of cliques, but i guess thats the norm and the more you go on forum rides the more you integrate.

billybob, not cliques, groups of mates. The more people you know, the more groups you can be a part of. On a ride that slow, there are plenty of opportunities to be talking to the person riding alongside you...

yeah.. wrong choice of word.
