South London Bike Polo (Tues/Thurs/Sun) - Newington gardens SE1 / Agnes Riley gardens SW12

i'll bring you a bit o pipe louis. (clips not good idea at newb stage)

i'm going tonight

good news. Where is whoratio?

I used to play in SPDs and used to unclip constantly for fear of falling. As soon as I switched to powergrips, I was a lot more confident.

Gabes, Dan (BRBPC) and Yorgo are all really good clipless players, so just give it a go :)

Yes please Aidan :)

I think Wes is at home if you fancy an afternoon of GRID? ;)

ummm...tempting.

Expect to be on the floor a lot.

I do that already!

if its cool with hops/Dave, I'll pick up a couple of mallets from their house before I leave.

yep, cool with me

Ace, thanks both for that.

I love it when a plan comes together... Cheers.

See you all in 5-6 hours... god that seems like a long time...

if you're going to ride clipless, use time ATACs, never come unclipped and feel solid as fuck. I don't use clips and straps cos i've been riding clipless since i was 13, so for 18 years almost.

Three questions, firstly how difficult do people think playing in clipless is? (birthday present, I'm not very good at clipping in yet! on the bike so choice is to play with them today or not play)

If you just got them today, I wouldn't advise it, but, IMO, they are better than clips.

newington tonight eh? should see you all down there, havn't been down for far too long...

Nice one taki. Aidan is bring a spare mallet if you haven't made one yet :)

be good to see you taki.

Hoping to make it out tonight.

good stuff, looking like it's going to be another good turn out

any turnout is a good turnout. the stabby stabby kiddies surely don't count.

if you ever turn up i might fall off my bike with shock

just wanted to say thanks y'all for last week. had a wicked time and felt thoroughly welcome, even when i was going the opposite way to the ball on purpose. good to meet/re-meet/see people too.

had massive cramping pains in my hand all thursday (keep it clean!) so might not be along for a few weeks til I've built up the guns some more. but polo is ace and i'll be back!

shame. stay tuff, fluff.

see you there.fuck fuck!

i guess i can borrow a mallet?

Yep! Aidan is bringing some for JP, Taki and Louis who are all mallet-less. I remember when we used to play in Peckham and Dave would have to carry 6 mallets each week :)

see you there.fuck fuck!

good man!

good man!

whatever.

;)
