2011-05-08 - London to Brighton - Fixed Gear Ride

Epic journey, great ride, lovely day!
Really pleased to have done this, furthest fixed ride by quite a lot. Did 78 miles over the day.
Cheers Skive for leading, top man!
Thanks Dropout for helping out, tickets and insane ramblings on the train! Respect due.
Really nice to meet everyone, the variety of characters helps make these rides as good as they are.
Lovely float home on the tarmac from victoria, felt sooo easy for some reason!

Indeed, thanks again to all for the fantastic ride and 3 cheers for skive who was a mightly good leader and for the ice cream at the top of ditchling. A life changing 99 flake. you have a beer coming to you.

Really tempted to go again next weekend. Didn't have any beer and beach time and feel like I need to make up for it

I swear to God that if one person shouts "Do a crash!" at me out and about town I will go ape.

Will you pull that face in the picture when you crash Dan? Great face!

I'm extremely tempted to rearrange London work stuff to squeeze this in :)

Dear Scoot,

You don't know me but I am one of your biggest fans. Your photographs are crazy dope and they make me want to take photos like a proper photographer like Mario Testicles innit.

I would be most respectful and provide you with nuff respec if you would be so good as to publish your photos of the epic forum foray to the East Sussex coast that ocurred not 24 hours ago. I'm sure you will be on the receiving end of bare adulation for taking such a step.

Peace in your hood and mad props,

A fan.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Stonehedge again.

When did I rep you?!

Will you pull that face in the picture when you crash Dan? Great face!

Maybe you repped me for my great face!

Well as you asked so nicely....editing them now ;)

Maybe you repped me for my great face!

haha, no it was for military picture. Had to check! I will virtually hi 5 you for your face.

...thats Droput pretending to me, not me. I'm the dashing chap in the Giro jersey pissing myself in the background (and thinking about stamping on Dropout)

Does that mean I get nerged?

Suspected as much! For honesty....no. Only this once though.

The clue is in the photo. I'm the one with the left calf that looks like it belongs to somebody who had just crashed.

Thought you were in denial? What crash!?

I thought I'd repost the picture as it's getting so much chat. You also either have the choice to click the picture or the link to go to the album! Enjoy!

That's a highly disproportionate amount of men to women! Nice pics Jess.

LFGSS needs a chat feature, we could clog up less threads with our (my) babble then.

Great photos! Thank you...

Or Velocio could ban me and Hatbeard...

Not my best, I need something more compact so I can film/photograph as we're riding, which would be a lot better.

At least you guys meets up occasionally to let it all out! I need more cyclists friends ASAP. sounds desperate

Point and Shoot FTW Scoot.

Downsides of being the only one on the ride with a camera = no photos of you to prove that you did it :(

I'll bring my camera next time Jess...was tempted this time but figured the extra weight wouldn't help up Ditchling. Now that I have remembered I am not Andy Schleck and that I have at least a few percent of body fat to lose before I start worrying about carrying a camera, I will change my ways and snap away

Is that a Sumo tee Jess? :P
