Sun 6th April - 1:30 pm Speakers Corner - Sheldon Brown Memorial Ride Now With Flier.

It's now in the calendar.

thanks hippo... you going to be coming then? on the spesh? i want to see it up close... really really really close.

For a fiver you can touch it. For a fiver you can touch me.

Not sure what I'm doing that Sunday. It'll probably clash with something but I might be able to shuffle. Too far away to tell.

put it in the diary now, frat boy.

does that mean that no one is going polo

Sheldon, died, BLIMEY, who are we going to ask now...? RIP SB

I'll be along for some Sheldon respect (assuming I haven't injured myself snowboarding the previous week - which is always likely). Now just need to find an eagle for my helmet.

BringMeMyFix [quote]MrSmith "i'm thinking central London ride meeting 6.30pm at the Foundry Pub On Old St."

isn't that an oxmoron? the last time i was there old st wasn't in central london wouldn't somewhere in W1 WC1 WC2 be more central?

What do you think the 'C' in EC2 stands for? Fucking suburbanites...[/quote]

it's only central because the first post office was near st pauls so the codes radiate out from there. the center of Laahndaan Town is trafalgar square everybody knows this even the tourists.

Charing Cross: http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2005/08/15/charingcross_feature.shtml

so antipodean cockmuncher are you suggesting i am wrong? or confirming i'm right? it depends on whether your read the page you link to ;-)

"The original cross was south of Trafalgar Square where the statue of King Charles I now stands. A plaque can be found on the floor behind the statue stating that mileage distances on road signage are still measured from this point."

and all street numbers in london radiate from this point too.

I thing i may go and sit on this point cross legged and go uhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I merely posted a link, from which the reader can deduce whatever they like.
So really, whichever makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, you bowler hat-wearing nonce.

you make me all warm inside :-)

proposed route

thoughts?

looks good, especially the pub bit!

im in

MrSmith you make me all warm inside :-)

Enough of your sexual shenanigans..

My only comment on the ride is that it is a bit short. We could cover all of that in about 30 mins or so, no?

Oh and also, Oxford Street is a disaster zone. Never go there.

The length is dictated by the amount of hipsters who will be in attendance.
There are far more coffee shops and public houses on the route than have been indicated in the map.

This is a two week ride.

it should be a VERY slow procession

Uhh, this is the Sheldon thread, not Monopoly?

Is hippy losing it?

interesting ... was thinking of naming my newest (as of yet, still needing the front wheel to be) built ride, the captain, also in honour. perhaps this would provide an excrement time and place for a debut!
