This time, for probably the last Guiness Ride, we are starting from the home of the Irish in London, county Kilburn.
6:00 - 7:00 pm The Black Lion, 274 Kilburn High Road, London, NW6 2BY
The opening pub was given a brief visit on a previous ride, and we vowed to come back again. Our host is a friend of the forum, and we are sure to receive a warm welcome, with ample bike parking alongside the pub.
I will be looking for someone (Middle of Nowhere?) to use their expert knowledge to lead us cross country to our next destination.
A tricky find (aim for Mount Pleasant sorting office) but a jewel of a pub, and always a favourite, if for no other reason than to demand skids from bemused cyclists heading down hill in front of the boozer.
8:45 - 9:45 O'Neils, 65 Cannon Street, London EC4N 5AA
Aim for Mansion House, and and a lovely pint, and superb meeting area will be waiting for you.
The spiritual home of the Guinness Ride, and a worthy point to finish our adventure.
It is a decent ride from first to second venues, I think about 5 miles, so we will be looking to leave on time. However, a few of us will using smart phones (surely an oxymoron on night like this?) so keep an eye on the thread for precise departure times, and current locations as the evening unravels.
As usual, in honour of 50/14, dont bother with a lock, buddy up with a forum friend, old or new, and celebrate the arrival of spring, after a brutal winter.
