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

Congratulations on getting the fastest time on your solo ride up box hill.

The previous post contained assumptions. Apologies if they were incorrect.

Hi-five otherwise!

A truly fantastic evening. Thank you Arvy for organising us all. Amazing cakes from Sally and Vic. Also from Tom. Delicious!

Charlotte's cakes were my personal fave - sooo buttery.

Charlotte made cakes too? How did I miss those ones?! Again Charlotte, again!

Congratulations on getting the fastest time on your solo ride up box hill.

There were a few Australian athletes getting in the way but I let them pass me! ;)
It is true I did it solo. It was fantastic! Had to encourage the security guards to let me through on the top section as they were about to close it off entirely to cyclists since too many had mashed it up for others by bombing down the empty zig zag road getting their kicks and generally causing chaos for the event organisers! They eventually let me through when I claimed my innocence!

P.S. If anybody else is taking the day off work today, it might be worth heading to Box Hill as all the cycling teams are rehearsing at 1pm this afternoon up there. Go for a look!

Nicely done D. Did you paint anything on the road?

this.

The record time was set on a bike with 86g"s!

I didnt do the TT but learned how to calculate gear inches and I can confirm that even though I didnt ride the TT, I rode highgate hill with 87 gear inches, which was fucking hard :D

87GI? Dude, do your knees a favour and drop your gearing. Tom might have done it on 86GI but he is made of a different material from the rest of us.

Gear inches in a beer thread?

Disapoint.

Wished I'd seen this earlier. I would have binned work off for a ride out there.

Anyone fancy a beer later?

Hmm beer.

Was thinking about going to the South bank on the olympic lanes to have a look at how frenzied Critical Mass was looking.

I want a beer now.

Watching 'lympics with friends tonight but let us know where you are, perhaps I can grab a swifty on the way.

Just had a beer and a half. They were good.

Now I want a snooze and a half.

Hmmm...

Undecided on this, let me know nearer 5.

Looks like much fun was had on Tuesday. Gutted we missed it but thanks to everyone for the support and kind words. The selection of cakes were delicious. Big shout out to Dom for coming down the hill specially to deliver them to us. See you all this tuesday.

My hangover lasted until friday.
Was a wonderful evening with great people both new to me and old pals.
All the cake was scrumptious as well, would eat again.

Anyone able to recommend a North London based solicitor?

ta.

I need one of these to borrow for a day or two if someone wants a free pint tomorrow eve?

Freewheel remover? Think I've got one, will bring it up if I do.

Could be a BB remover?

Butters... you grabbed the pic, but what was the item?

Ah, DICTA LMA-8 freewheel remover.

Free beer remover?
