North Drinks. Every Week, Wednesday 6pm - The Maynard N8

Particularly enjoyed this description of the similarity between roadies & triathletes:

"Specifically, the area in which the Triathlete and the Roadie are most similar is in their ability to reduce cycling to a fitness-building exercise, suck the joy from it and discard it so all that is left is a desiccated Lycra shell."

And this of recumbent riders:

"Cyclists all notice one another, so when we see something that looks somewhat like a bicycle yet places the rider in an odd position with his feet kicking at the air as if he's defending himself from an attacking eagle, we become confused and disoriented."

If I had a fighting style, I would like it to be this.

I really need to get to norths, I've put it in my diary for next week so hope to be there.

Come along, get fucked up, eat pizza. Cant go wrong.

If I get paid, I'll be along. If I don't, I'll be avoiding Arvy for a bit.

Probably a good idea wether one has been paid or not......

True, he was eating risotto in the pub last night.... very odd

How much do you pay him then? I heard his grooming 'services' were free.

Does anyone own this?
For I have aquired it.

I told you last night, it's mine...

are you not going to post the pic of you wearing it on your head from pizza?

Also, the reason for my lateness, and what you missed at the pineapple

Is that the Pineapple that you're sick off?

Had enough of Kentish you say?

I told you last night, it's mine...

Yes, but you Asians are known for your cunning in the art of scarf theivery.

A man in a hat?

^ That picture actually frightens me. I'm not sure who looks more menacing.

we are all having new age fun with a vintage feel!

Simon you are a genius! (actually Leo and I know how to look into the camera)

If we're on a weird photo thing...

When you see it you will shit bricks.

Anyone picked up my overshoes? :-(

Phone the pub.

leo, thanks for picking up my scarf. I'll try and pick it up tonight if you're in.

You just broke a mans hart....

Brilliant, I posted the Bikesnob article about the cycling tribes on my facebook and got this comment form someone that rides a Dutch bike:
"This article is crap! The only cyclists that deserve to die are apparently the only women referred to and happen to be on Dutch shoppers. Terrible!"
