So, a forum ride on Friday the 13th, Guinness, and reference to Old Nick.
"What's the worse that could happen?" as Dr. Pepper might say.
Ride will follow the well trodden route and watering holes of past extravaganzas, and will demand attendance with St. Patrick's Day foam hats, liberated and lovingly retained for the three weeks following the saints day.
Get the date in the diary, more details and knock out spoke card to follow.
6:30 Royal Oak, 355 Kennington Lane, SE11 5QY
Within a snipers bullet of the MI5/6 building on the southbank, a traditional old style boozer, with excellent Guinness, and a courtyard area down an allyway on the right hand side of the pub for bike storage, the Royal Oak is a natural starting point.
7:30 O'Neills, 65 Cannon Street, EC4N 5AX
The pub is at the Mansion House tube end of Cannon Street, and close to the junction with Queen Street. There is a pedestrian area outside the pub so we can keep an eye on the bikes, whilst enjoying a pint in the balmy Friday evening sunshine.
8:30 Filthy McNasty's, 68 Anwell Street, London EC1R 1UU
Slightly tricky to get to, but worth the trip for an excellent pint in an interesting part of central London. Aim for either Roseberry Avenue, or Mount Pleasant sorting office, and you are nearly there.
9:30 The Toucan, 19 Carlisle Street, off Soho Square, W1V 5RJ
The spiritual home of the Guinness Ride, and a natural destination. A rammed madhouse at the best of times, so again outside will be the logical location.
and finally, for the remaining brave souls.
10.30 The Coach and Horses, Wellington Street, WC2E 7BD, by the Royal Opera House
As always, a list....
