NE London Bike Polo: Wednesdays: Mitchison Road N1 / Weekends:Hackney Downs E5

the mutiny session..on the shit court... quite literally shit.
too many people = too much bitching

and there were passes!!!

Great games, great fun. I actually ache a bit today from playing so much (and my spectacular dive).

muff dive

probably not a spectacular as dale's dive - how's the wrist dude?

I also had a comic epic fail, miles from any other players when trying to pick up my mallet.

My chain tension on the polo bike was annoying me so I put a 1/2 link in it and angle grinded a little off each dropout (vertical dropouts) and squeezed the wheel in. This resulted in hyper-tension on the chain and a good ride last night.

Sadly It only lasted one night. While riding to work this morning it snapped.
Thankfully I was about 100yds from BLB so I bought a day-glo yellow 1/2 link chain. Now the tension is perfect and the bike looks even more ridiculous!

I want to play but have other commitments tonight. And the wrong bike. And FFF turning up at some point. Maybe we'll get some ad hoc game going in the street near home!

PWWO's fail was pretty epic last night.
Ended with him looking like he was busting a b-boy breaking headstand move.

Me, Andy, and Rik all said we'd head down there tonight. Anyone else coming to make up numbers?

I'll be there about 6:30 just hitting a ball against the wall if nobody else is there yet.

There should be quite a few people getting there 4.30 - 5ish. Heading in from the Shoreditch polo court. See you there.

Will be along later with my better half - two thirds of our team. Probably about 7:30.

Might try and pop down for a bit, if not see youz Sunday.
