Oooh the Pommeler's Rest on Tower Bridge Road is open, possibly 11 to 3 tomorrow. Might try and stop in there on the way home for just one before lunch/dinner.

^ Are you bringing the little one?

9:30 definitely?

^ Are you bringing the little one?

Yep, he's on the list.

9:30 definitely?

Nope. We intend to be there at 9:00 - that was the assembly time last year, and the year before.
I dont think I particularly feel like hanging around for very long waiting for the traffic to appear. Part of what makes this ride great is having the city empty for a while and enjoying the space of it.

Just leave your house earlier and show up earlier. You can ride around the city with cars and buses all around you the other 364.5 days of the year.

Has a forum ride ever been know for it punctuality?

Behave, Edward.

Has a forum ride ever been know for it punctuality?

Fair point. I'm not waiting around until 9:30 though, our kid is young, if people are intending on being later then we will just strike out on our own.

You could join Southwark's if you head south again by 10am.

I'm looking forward to paying Mrs Socks a visit...

Nah, its Greenwich they meet in right?

The main start is London Bridge.

I'd also like to start closer to 9 than 9:30. No sense waiting around for too long after the advertised kick off.

^this! ;)

^ that

See y'all at nine.

Hoke, wanna ride in to Oxford street? Ill be coming from very very far east so could meet up on CS3....ill message you. See yous soon.

I'll be riding down from wembley through NW. PM me if u'r doing something similar. Maybe we could ride down together?

Have a lovely ride you lucky people!

Have a good ride this year peeps! Merry merry to you all.

Good morning you lovely people!

Up and very excited about this. I'm coming in on CS2 in case you overtake me x

morning Digger
happy Christmas y'all

Breakfast before all things!

Morning and merry christmas to all, see yall in a bit!

If you're coming in on CS2 there is a large pile of horse shite in the cycle lane iat the east base of the bow flyover before the bow roundabout.
Fortunately I cycle slow enough to miss it.

I'm really extra slow today (thrown up twice bleuuurrgghhh) so please don't wait for me. But if you are coming east to the city could someone post location and I will aim to meet you there?

Am really, really struggling so have turned round to go home, otherwise I don t think I will make it home.

Should have listened to my head and driven in, parked at the back of the British Museum and cycled down Oxford Street.

Merry christmas and have a fab ride. Xxx
