Newcastle Rides

Count me in.
Michael, you still coming? Don't forget your mallet.

yeah sweet, can i borrow the spare mallet please.

was thinking about the sage carpark as a court too...
its well-lit, massive and theres a sweet back drop for the games

Aye, me n Phil'll bring spare mallets Paul. Sage carpark sounds wicked, does it have curbs? When we finally get round to taking some Newcastle polo photos, that would look ace.

Good polo last night lads. Shall we say 10 on sat morning for a bit a ride. Pete, Newcastle to Derwent reservoir round trip is 284 miles round trip so maybe need to get up a bit earlier if we're doing that...

Haha, 284 miles! No problem!

Will have to let you know about the sat ride, still waiting for parts, someone doesn't want me to finish this bike.

im in 4 a ride sat
284 miles that rules that out then I was thinking more of around the 250 mark!
phil keep me posted on your bikes status I may have what u need.

Thanks Pete, but what do I need?

Managed to get a top cap today but could still do with a few 1inch spacers.

Spotted today: Some guy on a fix crossing on stoddart street, no idea what kind it was dark, think I saw them do a skid.

Tits, I can't ride now, gonna have to work after all

a little birdy told me that theres a Calais -> Amsterdam ride in the works for this coming summer. 228 miles with some camping/beer drinking/charity money raising fun included. Train to Calais, ferry back from Amsterdam?

Will keep you all updated.

polo tues then?

yep still on for tues! my mallet snapped though so i'll need to rebuild tomorrow.

matt, mail me some photos when you get a min?

Some absolute cuntsack just nicked my front light from outside the Cluny. I know it's not a big deal but I'm drunk and fucked off. They didn't even have the decency to take the bracket so I know they're not going to be using it.
Anyway. Tues, I'll be there of course.
Phil, I'll get you the photos from sat when I get my ass in gear.

expencive mistake leaving light on your bike

btw some dude called alex contacted rcyb about bike polo so I directed him here
more players =cool

yeah sorry to hear that matt, was probs some pissed guy just doing it to be a dick too.

pete, they contacted rcyb? like, they rang up and asked if you knew about bike polo? would be mint to get him down on tues... along with everyone else in newcastle riding fixed

I remember the good old days when there were only two of us on the court in Exhibition Park. It's so commerical and crowded these days*.

Will be debuting the polo bastard death trap tomorrow. May be lowering the skill levels somewhat but should be fun.

*This may be a lie. Wicked if any newbies can make it.

sorry all, gonna have to bail tonight

Couple of shots of today's polo and tricks

i like how there's no ball in the last one

Polo/tricks tonight then?
Phil and Pete, see yous later.
Paul still up for it? Did you manage to have a look for that chain?
Tom, good to put a face and bike to a name last night.
Everyone else, HTFU.
By the way, I've got a spare polo bike if anyone wants to ride a comedy brakeless contraption but is scared about knackering their own...

Yeaaaaahhhhh
