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

I can't believe I'm typing this but have you considered searching?

oof, assumed with the Birthday chatter that it would be in here. looks like I missed a good one :( ah well, I'll see you all again next year...

I found a venue for proper North drinks. It involves climbing this.

Over 400 feet upwards in half a mile, with cobbles and hairpin bends just to make things interesting. Hard work trying to maintain much in the way of momentum between trying to keep the front wheel on the ground and the rear one stuggling to get any grip over the cobbles. Thought I was doing ok as I got round the second hairpin but was done for when the bastard got even steeper - ~30% according to strava - and I ground to a halt, defeated. Tried to get going again but promtly fell over sideways.

There is a pub at the top, fittingly called The Sportsman. No idea what it's like, but it does have a ski slope.

I found a venue for proper T' North drinks. It involves climbing this.

That's a serious thirst inducing hill.

Loving the ski run - could make for an interesting Death TT Duathlon variant.

The only trouble is how sweaty you'd get having to wear a tweed cap and ride a delivery bike every Tuesday.

Racist

I am from the North.

The North of Brighton.

5k are you attending tomorrow?

If so could you bring a pair of Vans?
Pretty please.

Ok will do - do you want the box too?

Easier for me to transport without - you can have it at a later date if you like.

Box unimportant at the mo.

See you later

You RLJ in style, that polka dot jersey for emphasis. Good luck.

Before buying the Bandit I almost bought the KTM Duke 125 (made in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pune which is where I am from), which was a great deal as the 1st year insurance was free + its ideal size for london etc. But I calculated the insurance for 2nd year and it was as much as £150 a month :D plus the finance so the second year would've been WAYYY more expensive ..

No need to be embarrassed, Arvy will be doing that too, tho in his case he's marking his territory for when PGM returns.

Nellie has no concept of embarrassment. She just inflicts it on me.
