So does ones' number need to be visible? It might be better for identification than having a name tag (and maybe less cheesy)

no, no numbers, names even is is cheesy. no one remenber the numbers

Anyone gonna be riding back east? I'm gonna have to get back to Tottenham Hale!!!!! Actually wait. Maybe I'll be able to stay at my ladies in central, anyone riding back through town?

I'm gonna get my name and number printed on a t-shirt, helmet, stickers for the bike, plate for the front, patch for my bag and a beermat. Is that enough?

Anyone gonna be riding back east?

Yeah lots.

I will definitely head back to Hyde Park Corner and take anybody who needs with me before heading off home myself.

Hope someone brings a good camera with a wide angle lens.

Anyone gonna be riding back east? I'm gonna have to get back to Tottenham Hale!!!!!

I'll be heading back to N16...

i'm downgrading to a maybe.
but it will be on the new bike if i make the trek from oxford.

I'll be heading back to N16...

me too.

There is a few heading north. If you are coming from North then meet us at the flask, say hello and we will all cruse down togeather.

Would it be worth setting some ground rules for the ride?
I for one need boundaries and have set myself the following:

1. No spitting at peds.
   
2. No throwing beer at cars/trucks/buses.
   
3. No backwards circles while pissing
   4.

:)

I will not be wasting any beer on cars/trucks/buses.

Sounds like a plan. Only been north for a few weeks, don't know the flask, but am googling now.
Think the backwards circles whilst pissing sounds like the best idea I've heard. Certainly beats pissing whilst riding forwards, into the wind and all that.

Sounds like a plan. Only been north for a few weeks, don't know the flask, but am googling now.
Think the backwards circles whilst pissing sounds like the best idea I've heard. Certainly beats pissing whilst riding forwards, into the wind and all that.
;)

It's the one in Highgate. North drinks are there tomorrow if you fancy it. From about 6.30.

We are gonna need a group photo of this ride! It's gonna rock.

How many northies do we have so far?

A few. Shins is bringing easts up north as well.

We are gonna need a group photo of this ride! It's gonna rock.

Somewhere floodlit, with a bridge or something so the photographer can get us all in one frame.

I'm gonna have to be late cos of a little DJ gig, and meet the ride somewhere along the route... 100+ should be hard to miss, so no worries there!

I might ring up The Evening Standard, see if we can get some publicity
