2011-04-03 Sun - Cambridge ride. Fixed-wheel bicycle required

Sunday 3rd April. Easy going ride to Cambridge. Route unclear to me but well worn by others, I gather it's lovely. Will be posted shortly. Start point will be in East London.

Fixed only. I do this so we can better keep people together. And cos this the premier fixieskidder forum. Why the hell more rides aren't fixed-only I'll never know. [/Pajamas]

Start early enough to let anyone who wants to be able to ride and return, or enough time to have some fun in Cambridge.

Rules: most of you should know this shit by now. Bring food & water, weather clothing, lights, tubes, tools, phone, maps, a lock if you're hanging out in Cambridge, a checked and smoothly working bike blah blah. No-one will be dropped but being prepared is everything.

OK so I have a serious question - I would like to address the gender gap on LFGSS rides somehow: what do people think of attempting to engineer the mix of riders by capping the number if men that can sign up?
It'd be such a good thing to ride with a genuinely mixed bunch of riders. And get rid of that feeling that a forum ride is a bit like some kind of funny stag trip.

Make it compulsory for everyone to bring a woman.

^^ You can be my woman Little-Moe*.

*comments like this...

I count 3 on the list, 4 if you count Jesus.

Aw C'mon Damo, I'm being serious, don't want this to turn into the usual 'jokes' please.

I'm not sure Skully, is the answer. Maybe postit in the Women's forum and ask?

Maybe I was being slightly serious, remember when polo and rollas did Valentines versions?

Maybe if there was something like that? Everyone who attends must bring a partner of the opposite gender? Who can ride a bike?
