You also look like you're about 12!

Dan, yes, it is on every Tuesday night, and you might also want to check out the 'Compass Rides' thread.

This Tuesday, as Corny says above, there is a new person's week where some of us lead from trafalgar square to the destination.

Crabtree - happy to do this with you buddy - are we meeting at 7pm at trafalgar square?

Probably won't be sticking around too long this week though..

Thanks dude ..... Im guessing every one just turns up and has a laugh! What time tho ???

Like 6 id say.

Cool i would go on the ride but i just fancy messing about in a car park trying to learn some trix!

well as I say - the ride is only going straight there from trafalgar square, so if you want to find your own way there I'd say 7ish

Oh i see so the ride is going to the trixie car park from trafalgar ???

Appsy, yea its a ride to the carpark from trafalgar.. feel free if you fancy it, it'll be a fun little roll!

Any wheel truers coming tomorrow night? My wheel needs to be trued for roundness and straightness. It's off centered (side to side) and slightly oval...

wheelies - do i need to lower my seat from normal riding position to do wheelies, will that make it easier?

hi guys looking forward to tonight and ghe ride form trafalgar, i'll be there around 6:30 - 6:45,

A fair few are likely to go onto the Brick Lane for bagels after Trixie Dix. Well worth it for a Hot Salt Beef!

awesome, anyone heading up to a drinks after trixie dix (norths - southeasts??)

too lazy for that!

d14vd_h, there may well be others thinking about making the run up to norths / south easts afterwards.

It has been noted that meeting up with a big group of forumengers that you don't know in a pub can be slightly intimidating. So to make it less so, this idea has been put forward to combine drinks and rides.

Think of it as a Forum Fresher's week, without the hazing, so that the previous months new members get a chance to meet up with, and ride with fellow forumengers. Talk bikes, find out where drinks are, and get a good ride in at the same time
You can come out to the beers closest to you, or trek out to a beers on the otherside of town, safe in the knowledge that you'll be with people who a) know where they are going, and that b) someone will be heading back in your general direction so you can ride home in the company of another forumenger.

Okay so for TrixieDix tonight Crabtree and I will be meeting new people at Trafalgar Square from 6.45pm - I presume along with the other pub destinations, so bonus socialising to be had. At 7pm Crabtree and I will lead the way from Trafalgar to the TrixieDix car park, busting all kinds of Mash / Bootleg Sessions / Macaframa crazy shit as we roll, for example doing no-handed endos into the backs of cars then sailing over the roof, landing and getting back on the bike. We'll be at TrixieDix by 7.15pm, at which point we'll chill, chat, have a couple of beers maybe, while all the time concentrating on perfecting those things we want to get down.

Most people completely new to it should try and wire two things that aren't really tricks but are most useful skills to have riding fixed: the trackstand, so you can wave your bottom around in front of buses at traffic lights, and the skid, so you can buy new tyres more often. A short educational presentation will be given on each of these should it be required. Beyond those first glorious skills, the car park roof, as they say in E1, is whatever you want it to be.

pajamas thats fantastic,
im keen to learn skidding and trackstanding and would benefit greatly from a demo,
i'll be keen to get a bagel and go to south easts if anyone else is keen!? - i would need led by someone who know the way though!!
do trixiedix have spoke cards lol!?

to make this a true introduction to trixie dix, I shall be sure to bring the stereo, mix tapes are welcome otherwise you'll be stuck listening to my tastes ;-)

see you on the roof tonight.

yep ill come along to trafalger first to ride to the roof tonight, this should be fun, the weather is so much better too

wicked one BP, I was about to pm you to plead for your attendance as a true TrixieDix old timer.... ;)

be good to see you man!!
