I wanna be the top hat!

No, the boat!

No, wait, the car!

Tophat!

I recon Ma3k will be first to go directly to jail! :D

Maybe we could ride to all the cop shops in london!

Then again maybe not!

lol

I shall be joining you in a top hat.

There will be duplicates... with that in mind I'll start the duplicates. I always wanted an excuse to purchase one.

Then again maybe not!

You'll be pleased to know it's in the calendar already.

That's a top idea, except the going to jail bit. God knows where a water works is.

Ending at Old Kent Road not Park Lane. Yloponom. Better chances of getting beer there than in mayfair.

there is a beer crawl course with Q's that i've found. will 26 stops be too much??!?

There are big water works up towards Tottenham, but that may be a bit far for this ride.

Greenlanes has a waterworks. It's finding "free parking" in London that will be difficult

I recon you should try n taylor in a few excusions from central by maybe going from Angel Islington to Stoke Newingto reservoirs (Water works) n Holloway Prison (Jail) and/or over to Battersea power station (electricity co.)

Otherwise it will be red light after red light.

Oopps, bit slow.

this is what i'm planning ;) , but 26 odd stops will take a while :(

Is it too early for a list?

Yorgo should be Le Car.
Mrs Mouse can be the Old Boot.

We should think about challenges or whatever at key stops.

Leave out the stations and I reckon you've got a good route...

Gah, can we change the date? Tis my birthday.

A list! A list!

We should do it in the afternoon, evening, and night... it's a long route.

i think for the sake of mentality we need the extra parts like waterworks or electric.

JOL tis the luck of the draw, with 1000's of members, we can't please everyone. it was my birthday on the docklands ride ;)

velocity boy, it will be bad enough in the evening let alone in the arvo. time stands :p
