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

mashton 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 idea was that the ride would be very inclusive, so the pace would proly be a bit slow...

Uhh, this is the Sheldon thread, not Monopoly?
Is hippy losing it?[/quote]

I started drinking again today.. it will take some time for my body to readjust. ;)
Apologies Sheldon.[/quote]

Paid off the Carbon Spech already!

I saved up for that. I don't like to 'pay things off'. It wasn't as good as I'd have liked.. coz now I'm still at fscking work and missing my turbo session. :(
More valuable power data going to waste.

Me too. I still feel guilty buying stuff even when I have saved up.

I was like that for years - my old man's a tight git.
I learned how to deal with it - earn more.

Should stop off at the door of the Science Museum as Sheldon was a technical man.

where is that?

literally, next to the V&A

There's been some talk about doing a ride like this over at ACF and the Sunday seemed appropriate as well, being as it's close to 1st April and all.

Could we not hook up and do an inter-forum ride on this one? Get some real numbers along and raise some money for a good cause?

I could get it out on the CTC and LCC networks, too if you're interested.

Yep there's a thread on ctc 'tea shop' about Sheldon. I posted a while back about the ride, haven't been back to give details though so please do Charlotte.

Yep I think Chris has emailed LCC but another from you / ACF would be good too. Everyone is always welcome as are any ideas / input.

Someone mentioned the science museum. It's be pretty easy to tuck it into the route, Exhibition Road isn't far. It's not too bad for traffic 'cause it's quite wide as well.

16 ornmnt

I reckon some form of helmet mounted tribute should be mandatory. Goes off to find an xmas decoration

Umm I note that the route takes in Park Lane, where someone was killed a few days ago, a very very nasty one. I gather a bus was involved.

Maybe we could stop there... not wanting to turn it into a CM or anything... ;)
