Highgate Hill Thursdays

Went out riding last night outside Mayor o London building. They need to put up signs saying "slippy when wet" round there. It was ace. Just got my laptop so expect pics soon!

yeah i love playing skiding round there!

dicki yeah you might as well be at home where you can smoke

My home is a council flat, therefore state property, therefore publicly owned. Will the smokeys come and nick me if I have a puff?

only if its rape

I've never smoked rapeseed oil. Is it a good buzz?

hmm sounds fun. i've smoked cinnamon sticks before...

Love that cinnamon, but beware the evil nutmeg.

so is it happening this thursday? or will it be a let down like last thursday?

this ride is actually my commute
well kinda, but i mostly work from home, i really should do it this week

Yes - Meet just inside Gloucester Gate 6pm here. Bring a can (or not!)
Punch it Chewie!

okay sounds like a fun ride, but i dont know the route or anything and need to get back to south london at some point so i hope the ride heads back towards the park at some point.

Dammit, short staffed so editor won't let me off early. Don't think I'll ever make it tho this thing.

Hmm, always an excuse isn't there.... ;o)

Hey - you fancy waiting till 6.45 and I'll beat you up there even after I've cycled from Canry Wharf :-P

RAIN weather at 4pm looks like purple / red spots on bbc map possible thunder
i'll be there if clement

Same as last week then. I'm not even gonna pop in to see yaz off. Fsck it. Evil mood today. :>

It's even slightly sunny now where I am now. Gonna leave in a bit, and bring refreshments so will hang around a bit longer this time. (Possibly) see some of you there!

I raced (ha! I'm knackered) home to check out thermos flasks in Robbie McDyas.
There's a red 0.7L that will fit in a cage but it's only rated for 8hr. The one rated for 24hr (95degC drop to 55degC) is 1L and slightly too big for a cage.

bump maybe this summer we could get this ride going again

was fun back in the day

cough
North drinks Tuesday. I think this thread preceded the North drinks.

I'll meet anyone who wishes at Regent's Park on a Tues or Thursday night, escort them up the hill and if they want back to Regent's.

Tuesday however requires a compulsory ride up Swain's Lane.
Dicki, I think you might be SE/E - you are welcome to join me from Moorgate up to Highgate on any Tues.

I can't wait for the summer

bring it on
once the weather warms up a tad !!

Because Swains is more fun.

Blimey this is a blast from the past. This thread started on C+, I think. I suppose riding up HGW hill with LPG and Dicki was my first ever forum ride, before the forum had really started.

It was followed by tins of beer in London's famous Regents Park, in true forumenger fashion.

I still fucking hate that hill.
