2008-03-15 Sat - Monopoly Night Ride

yeah still got a few left

Cheers for an awesome night!

thank you so much dale for organising. Sorry i melted away, i was a proper puddle and had to work in the morning, but it was worth a good soaking to see so many people show their face to the man upstairs and say 'NO' I shall ride, all the same. I'm defo with you on the "what if it was good weather turnout" question.
You left the loveliest post after you had, had such a great weekend, (you know the one) and rather than trawl and 'quote' you. I'd just like to say that you and all your parishioners did the same for me. :)

those iainb photos are great.

with the rain it all looks kinda moody and atmospheric.

may be we should do the next ride in the rain as well ?

thanks to the guy that bought me the beers. we are chatting in photo 24. hopefully i can get you a beer next time.

dogsballs yeah still got a few left

wicked, i'll get one off you on sunday then?

i thought i already posted this?! anyway, it was certainly a memorable ride. thanks for organising it dale. i had a lot of fun....until the tequila wore off around whitechapel :) there should be a repeat in the summer or when waterproof clothes actually do what they say on the label. hmmph.

Cheers to all concerned; great fun.
Managed to stack it quite dramatically for no apparent reason (funny it were); hip and knee started to hurt a bit after Angel so I peeled off.

Chatted to quite a few people whilst riding (I was the be-hooded chap on the gold GB). Good to meet y'all!

dan, was it you that just dropped the bike at the start of old kent road, right in front of me??

Er...possibly. I don't really know any road names. I wouldn't say I dropped the bike as such; 'twas definitely more the other way round. No idea what happened: was just riding along and then 'kerblammo'. Seemed like hilarious fun at the time; Alex and Hassan laughed too (bastards). Did you have to take evasive action? If so, sorry!!

yeah, that was dan. riding along all peaceful like, all of a sudden arms and legs everywhere, dan on the ground.

Story of my life that ^

that was a sweet video. makes me wish i coulda gone even with the rain and the nutbar motorists.
good to know these rides arent just pipedreams, hope some people are already planning more

Fook off mate you ditched before we even got to the Tate ;)

Congrats to illy & stelle, who met on this ride, and married yesterday!

That is great.

Great news congratulations to them both.

Cool! We should have bought a forum gift - like a trouser press or some table linen or something.

Lovely!

Congratulations!

Mazeltov to the happy couple!

... hope your not insinuating that Illy's trousers need an iron and Stelle's dress looks like a table cloth

) Far from it. Very glamorous they look.
