@object.. hope the uni works out fine and dandy. nice to put a name to a face. cheers.
Cheers dude.
I'm sure there will be some drunken unicycle racing happening at some point soon.

you are welcome.

i was somewhere at the back on the way to the isle of dogs when the guy i was riding with got a flat. we fixed it and he went home and me not being a londonenenenger i had no idea where the route went so i had to retire back to where i was staying. pretty miffed at missing the tunnel ride and staying to the end to chat to more people but in all it were still fuckin ace to come along. thanks to the organisers and all those that turned up and put a smile on my face. i'll be back again.

Were you the fella up from Bristol on business and doing the ride? Getting back to Shoreditch?
Was me with the flat!
Don't think we were too near the back cos alot of people went past us but the pack were still waiting @ Island Gardens when I did make it down there. I think I was DFL to arrive tho'.

great video, good to see for those who didn't make it...

Great video Peter! And was good to finally meet you too.Didn't realise you'd filmed so much!!!!
Awesome!

Thoroughly enjoyable ride. Great to meet lot's more new people though it felt like there was just too many of you to meet everyone. Loved the fast ride onto the docklands! That was some pace.
I saw some serious spinning. Lots of special moments.

Thanks Dale and Jonny for the organization. Tough job but held down very well.
Looking forward to a return to the Bridges ride...

So annoyed I missed this, my mate came down from leeds for the weekend. went out for a free meal which kinda compensates. I'm thinking I might try organize something mid june - otherwise i'm back in leeds for the summer.

yay there's me gurning in the tunnel @ 3:44 ish

Great work peter. I need to find a way to mount my G9 on my head.

bubble gum…

hubba bubba or bazooka joe i reckon

Tripod don't let you hotlink images. Copy the URL and paste it into your browser address bar.

for some reasons the hyperlink doesnt work
try copy and paste

Worked for me (after copy and pasting), and it's pretty good quality! Thanks Brian.

Great work peter. I need to find a way to mount my G9 on my head.

Yeah i need to upgrade to HD and enhance the way i shoot things; far too rocky and bouncy...and dangerous. some kind of handle bar mounting system would be great.
