2008-10-15 - The Bridges V - East to West

George Sportiff I reckon

Nah George Sportiff said he headed up the group that rode Nottinghill way and the guy who I knew who lived in Tottenham Hail hooked up with us Pickled Willy group around Clerkenwell. Maybe there are a few Tottenham Hail folks. Roll on. I noticed a guy posting about living up that way on another thread that I can't be arsed to find. Maybe I should start a who live in Tottenham Hail thread cos i've got nothing better to do.

Hippy.

I could see the cogs up stairs spinning trying to remember who I was. Or was that mistaken. I should don the Colmans more often. I stupidly wore non cycling clothing last night and went from sweating like a pig to freezing. I should adopt your cycling apperel policy. I'm off to NZ in Jan to live so I will be checking out their road riding scene. I've heard it's meant to be good. I wonder if there are any fixed guys. I'm suspecting their cities to be far to small.

Wearing this next time...

I bet you will as well you big ponce.

right laff caning it home with you and Simon btw...

Ouch. Was that on the ride or after it? You ok?

Spaghettihoops man.. how are you today? You went down fucking hard. You ok?

James.. how's the tweed? ;)

How many people did an unclip/0kph fail last night? :)

I did one in at the exit to the park on the way to Barnes bridge. Pride dented, could hear loads of people laughing. Cheers to the guy who told me he does it 10 times a day, it did lessen the embrassment a lot. Fuckin awesome night tho.

Hippy.

Anyone else see Tim (Cycle Surgery Holloway) do an endo up the 2 stair near The Ship?

I have NO idea how he held on as it was totally unplanned! Funny as fnuk tho.

I was heading back to Tottenham, was riding with Caleb (I think!? Do you have a big afro and thick glasses?) back to Brick lane, with the guy on his new purple build who was getting stoned all night (Maybe it was vinylpimp? You bought me a butter bagel! Bumps!).
I was on the blacked out build with drops and a ghetto water bottle mudguard.
The last bit of the solo ride back to Tottenham near finished me off, then my neighbours were having some mad party til about 7 in the morning! Gave it a miss though! Fuckers didn't even send an invite to their next door neighbours! FAIL!

American dude from Uxbridge who is into records

American dude here! It was good talking to you VP! If your ever up for talking records, playing records, setting secords whatever! Let me know, I'm up for it!

A long overdue forum ride and boy was it fun! Thanks to the organisers!

I had a great time once we pushed on out of Vauxhall, some nice riding down the Embankment and the awesome spriting down the quiet roads of Barnes was a highlight. Millennium bridge was an incredible sight and sound. Great to see so many familiar faces and good to meet some new people too, I hope everyone is feeling alright today and got home without any issues.

James thanks for the coffee and drinks, it was much fun. Hope you're not too sore. Hippy I hope Murts wasn't too much of a handful on the way home.

Bright Times...

He was fine.. which was surprising considering how fucking pished he was! hahaha poor dj's probably still sitting in a corner shaking, rocking back and forth mumbling "zoyder" and "never again"..

It was me (the guy with the afro and thick glasses) and vinylpimp who you rode back with last night.

Who suffered from 'Beer Fail' when he forgot to pull out from his straps and tipped over like a tree.

haha, I'd forgotten about that, he just veered towards the concrete wall in the dark. "Rider Down" swiftly followed by "Rider back up again"! I should stop laughing at people's crashes

Ha ha ... kinda hard to sometimes... that was hilarious.
Just remembered the sprint nr the end. Don't who i was with, but when Multi dropped into another gear and accelerated away, we both looked at each other in awe. High 5 to high speed. Super fast journey back East. Good time-keeping BMMF.
Heal fast to those who took spills.

The dude with the white front arrospok? I was behind him and that was fucking funny...no offence like...hope you're alright man...

Some of my shitty phone pics, plus some stolen pics nicked for my own collection

There's also vids from the Millenium bridge and that other bridge where we waited for ages waiting for your bike lift shenanigans..

Yeah, I rode back east with him but never got his name. Comedy classic.

recognize!

i missed this to be drunk in a dirty dirty squat, that may have been a mistake

Good to see y'all. I think for future rides we should have name badges; there are a lot folk that I may have inadvertently blanked, if so, sorry.

Stallion- I owe you some daft punk.

Dancing James- cheers for hospitallity

The dude that helped Slaytanic- I want my rubber gloves back!

Mack- that's the last beer detour I do with you!

The lady with the fucked rear wheel: hope its fixed.

The folk that fell: thanks :-)))

Really enjoyed last. Can only repeat what was said above. A bit stop/starty but I'd rather that was the case than leave peeps behind. Really enjoyed the ride back east too. First time rolling through the touristy hotspots late at night. A much more pleasant experience compared to the rush hour madness. A *lot *of fun.

Cheers to MA3K for organising and leading the bridges ride. And thanks to the person up front setting the pace for the roll back to the dutty East.

I bet you will as well you big ponce.

right laff caning it home with you and Simon btw...

So who else was in that little group rolling back east?

when Multi dropped into another gear and accelerated away, we both looked at each other in awe. High 5 to high speed.

Multi has a habit of doing that. That boy's got bionic legs I reckon..

wools: I remember Maek, Fluff, Rocksteady, influcx, the disconcertingly zippy Multi, .. it all got a bit confused after the Slaytanic / Holby City episode...

I was a child of thalidomide- they FIXED it tho

nothing too serious, hit the side of an incoming van. i dont remember much apart from moaning on about losing my phone in the road. two falls this week...the third could be death. should start drinking kaliber.

it was a car, not a van. i've got your phone btw
