Saturday Night Ride 30th June

errrrr,thats sick!!

LOL

due to the predicted weather for the weekend ive made other plans......so im not going to do it this weekend.if it does happen im going to be well pissed off,thats why ive already started my rain dance.im up for the weekend after tho

Hmm.. I see a consensus forming slowly. A bit like a rain cloud.

severe weather warnings appearing for the weekend

my rain dance is working!! julian wanna go for a ride??? ive got the day off

highgate hill tonight i'm saving my energy to try and get up the hill i'm doing a quick mission into rakans place to drop a cog off with him around london fields then back home if you head over to stratford i could rustle up some grub and then head over to highgate about 5 - 5.30

ummm that sounds intresting...do you want to whisper your address to me:)

well aim for asap we could head down to rakans together cycle round a bit find a nice boozer for a pint back to mine some food then should be time to head over to highgate ??

woolwich tunnel or greenwich tunnels will get you north of the river then straight up to stratford
did you say you were vegetarian ?

yeah,im veggie...is it possible to meet me at stratford station,that would save me fucking about looking for your house

Hmmm, I think shifting it might have to be done. Met office predictions aren't good! I agreed this needs to be dry. Southend was alright wet, but this is a bit more of a sightseeing tour I guess.

Just out of interest, anyone gonna bail out if it rains for Dunwich?

No.

nope

Good. Might be time to get some new waterproofs though (first time I've said that at the start of summer)

Just wear normal clothes and absorb the rain through your skin. It means you don't need to drink. :)

Euh... Next weekend is the Tour, isn't it? I'm unlikely to be in any state to ride by Saturday night after the Prologue.

I can't believe you're not riding cos of a bit of rain... I'm honestly shocked!
It'll make it even more fun. When it rains do you guys leave the bike at home
and catch the tube or something!? Jeeez!

Why don't you just shorten the ride or something? Tower bridge to vauxhall bridge and all
the one's in the middle. Start it at 11pm after a few pints - brilliant fun no?!?!?

DON'T BE SUCH PARTY POOPERS!

I agree! Plus, the Beeb just removed one of the raindrops from their saturday forecast.

i'm still going

Fine. Be like that. See you in the Prospect. Though the offer of somewhere dry to keep you bikes beforehand is still there.

YES - THANK YOU !!!

MA3K OK route update:
Meet Prospect of Whitbey (E1W3SJ) from 8-9 O'clock on Saturday 30th.
Set off around 12 through the Rotherhithe tunnel EDIT(NO tunnel) and then back onto this route : 30th Night Ride - 'The Bridges'
How does that sound to everyone?

few kwestchonz
1.on that map it looks like the ride starts just south of tower bridge... but we still meeting in wapping?
So are we riding south over tower bridge, then turning round and coming back over tower bridge the other way?
(There's a nice pub on tooley st here if people fancy starting on
the "correct" side of the river.
Just a suggestion. I personally don't mind meeting at the Prospect at all. Never been there and it
looks all historical like.

1. If it's raining are we could do a shorter route - say from vauxhaul we could head into town for a drink etc

2. Perhaps at each bridge we could stop and gather for a sprint race over the length of it! Bridge racing could be
   well fun!

Ooh i'm all excited now!

When I did the original route I didn't know we would be meeting at P.O.W.
I suggested we go throught the Rotherhithe tunnel to correct this. (silly I know - was shouted down promptly)
But the route works best starting at the South side of Tower Bridge.
So I suggest crossing Tower Bridge twice.

I like that bridge race idea BTW.

Yes. Bridge racing nd skids in the wet. Sweet.
