At the Ride In 2

I say belated birthday picnic FTW!

hmmm the road/polo thing is pissing me off now. I know later on in the month the project has access to the carpark over the road, I can do some digging. Otherwise grass polo anyone? Grrrr.

The car park over the road is probably worse to be honest...

Hmm so maybe polo's off. shit. Maybe we can just have a little polo table? Posters, flyers, bikes, mallets. Demo some stuff? The kids can have a go on the grass?

Right the official proposals in. Weathers looking boom ting. Flyers on its way. Please spread the word peeps!!!!!!

Facebook Event

Okay kids, here are the definite confirmed films. Still waiting to hear back from three more but I'm pushed for time to work out the exact running times and orders.

Rapha: Two Broad Arrows (Adrian Moat)
Rapha: D'acciaio - of steel (Ben Ingham)
Rapha: A Throw of The Dice (Nick Livesey)
Copenhagen Cycles (Eric Dyer)
Several of the 'Bike Kills' (Rachel Meyrick)
Vive Le tour (Louis Malle)
Polo Manual (As below)
We've Got It On Tape (Brendan McNamee)

There will also be several information tables and I think we should set up our own?!?!?!?

You've certainly picked a decent day for it MG.

Will do my best to make it down after work to check out the films.

I'll send anyone who wants the running order, just pm me. I've just decided to take some stuff out. Wheat from the chaffe and all that. I'm absolutely terrified.

Its going to be great. Look at this weather!

We've got a puncture. How apt.

One last thing, this event does not have a license. I am a license holder but it was too short notice for At The Ride In. This means we cannot sell alcohol or allow it on site. However, security have been asked to turn a blind eye to people who are DISCREET when bringing their own - out of sight, out of mind.

If I catch anyone littering the site with cans or whatnot, I'll throw you out myself (or get someone stronger to do it)!!!!!!

Soft drinks, water, cake and refreshments available for donation too.

Oh and some people from local bike workshops (not anyone on here) have offered to do repairs. Boom.

Oh and the ride leaves at mac at 5pm. For gods sake, I've got alzheimers.

i dont think i will be meeting at the mac beforehand so see you there

Right well I have no idea where it is but will be there in a couple of hours hopefully.

opposite millenium point next to curzon street station...

cheers, right I think I know where I'm going now just gonna head to the station and I'll be on the next train.
