South London Beers: Reboot - Last Thursday of the Month at The Prince Regent, Herne Hill, SE24

Sigh, not going to make it, again. Got home late from work, and have just managed to lodge a metal splinter from a snapped chain link in my thumb, so writing tonight off.

Got a puncture rolling home along Pomfret Road- I knew trying to eke out the last of that tyre was a mistake.
Still did not put a damper on seeing everyone- hopefully there will be more beer in the fridge next week and I'll stay a bit longer!

Was a short but very sweet one for me this evening. Christ, do not ever go out on a wet night on spud pedals and non spud shoes, the concentration required made me nearly take someone out by pulling a sharp right outside my house with little to no warning. Sorry if it was any of you guys, couldn't tell if they waved or gave me some other gesture as they disappeared of down coldharbour. :S

ouch!

still, not going to south beers is the new south beers.

until next week, maybe.

Fat Aussie was too far down the road for that !!!!

Rep :)

Although I really wish spag hadn't hit the deck. :(

He said he was just in the process of going around you when he catastrophically hit a pothole.
However he was bimbling around the pub off his face on codeine tonight, never seen a more broken but happy man.

Doesn't appear to be much that will knock the smile off that fella's face! Was a pleasure as always, good to see you JimJams.

Quick N00B question for you all- binned the front tyre as it is knacked, replaced it with a spare that I had in the cupboard.
Inflated it and thought "hmm, this looks rather large", had a look and it is indeed a 28.

Now this should be fine, but my inner tubes are rated for 18-25 tyres...

Reckon it will cope with being slightly over inflated?

It'll definitely hold out until you get to the shops, I did the same and completely forgot about it for a couple of weeks and didn't give me any major problems.

Scorchio! Thanks for the reassurance El Squire.

It just needs to hang on until Scott gets those Maxis' in (possible apostrophe fail warning).

My bike does now look faintly silly with a 28 up front and a 23 at the rear.

Bit of extra grip up front never hurt anyone.

He said he was just in the process of going around you when he catastrophically hit a pothole.

He's quite clearly delirious, the poor chap. He's welcome to race again when he's fit :)

I had already moved left and accelerated away to go around the bus when I heard the clattering behind. I went around the bus and u-turned in front of it before heading back to find him sitting on the ground looking dazed.

I personally think a ninja took him out.

Good to see everyone once again. I managed to have only 2 beers! I'm still sober!

Good to see spag off his tits, and thanks Clair for my Spoke Sparx I'm putting them on my bike now!

Big love everywhere, South beers rule!!

Ninja? fuck no wonder he's broken!

hahha...cheers guy's! i'm still in one piece, so it's all good.
and hippy... I don't care what anyone says, i was beating you, which is when i ***purposefully ***hit that pothole, as i didn't want to embarrass you in front of your friends.

P.S. codeine+beer = aWsome!

BRM - got yer saddle mate...

  A great night topped off with Multi and me riding through the pouring rain - mudguards and overtroisers ftw..
  
  

Fiddy - no words. NO WORDS. A forum awaits..............

sorry I went on a bit but I had a really nice night.

top night down at souths again, and as usual i went the wrong way home.
Did anyone loose a hat? i have one that was found at the bar, PM me.

P.S. codeine+beer = 531!

Fixed.

Really good to see everyone and nice riding back into sunny Camberwell with pkmpirate.

:)

@ pajamas - that's the last time I wait for you. Putting mudguards and waterproof overtrousers on while I stand around, then fucking off across the junction to Coldharbour Lane without so much as a goodbye. ;)

@ dandy - I told you, it's London Bridge not Waterloo you want. The tricky bit is spotting the massive signs they put up to show you the way at the Elephant....good to meet you tho'

I can't believe I have been riding home slightly pished through Camberwell every Monday night for the fat end of eight months and not noticed the Lebanese take-away till last night.

Shwarma-tastic with complimentary falafel to nibble on whilst you wait.

May have to make a detour on the way home next week, mmm...
Nice to see everyone, had to pussy-out early tho'... Was asleep by 10, body said NOOOOO last night...

A good, if brief visit, good to catch up with Prav and ASM for burger action, and the most sober ride home from Souths I've ever had. Shame I found the talisker bottle when I got home.

The content of fiddy's pink sack was......... well fill in the blanks yourself.

^531?

I basically cannot come to these drinks and stay for a couple... woke my girl up last night again...strolling in at half eleven. definately NOT 531.

good to see the souths beer collective, hope to see some of you at west beers soon.
