Critical Mass - September '08 - No police escort!

God, I suppose I could drag myself around with this for the usual half an hour.
Does get a bit frustrating sometimes though. Far more likely to crash during this than at any other time too. Anyone meeting in the Lamb?

I'm here for the beer... Let's decide on a muster point... Lamb or tinnies on the South Bank? Gotta be the tinnies on a day like today, innit?

Ok. So an 1800 start!

I'm finishing at London Bridge @ 1305 and don't really see the point of cycling back to Fulham just to come back again, so I'm heading to the pub around lunch!

Anyone fancy joining me, or am I going to be left looking like a homeless man drinking tenants super in a gutter somewhere.

usually lots of people arriving at NFT by 6.30, generally rolls away at 7.

I'm gonna either bail or join it late, like at 8.30. Can I call someone to find out where you've got to, please? Joe? jacqui? ... basically anyone who's not intending on riding for a short time but staying for the duration.

So. Whats the plan for the meet up then?

NFT with cans or The Lamb with pintage? I vote NFT with tinnies...

I'm up for tinnies. What time you gonna be at the NFT Mr Teenslain?

Gotta meet rik for 5 mins then get beer... 5.50, I reckon... By the stones next to NFT?

Sweet. I'll be there.

What time are you meeting at the south bank?

I could be there for 6.30ish... maybe

30 of the finest minutes past 6 could be a little tight, weather like this i might just keep rolling and land at the NFT for 7. stay for a swift one before the mess starts

@ GS
are u leaving soon?

I'm already here with Grolsh in hand, fag and wrench in t'other. sitting near the circular stone thing on bench by river-find me out!

actualy I'm track standing_no hands! oh yeah.

Anyone got a tinny they are willing to sell me? I just had the shittest day ever...

i am on me way....

Where's the after-ride drinks?

Chin up Chug-It - you'll be fine dude.
Have a good weekend paint-balling!

Well who went tonight???
No police escort...what's the world coming too :-) I ask...one of the best I think I have been on - plenty of entertainment mostly courtesy of London's good old Black Cab Driver's...not to mention the camera theft right under the nose of the Old Bill...anyone see that?

OK it was my first time at CM and the last ....

There was some aggro with a cab that tried to push through. A cyclist fell in front of it and it turned into nastiness: lots of cyclists surrounded the cab, someone smashed the mirror and people shouting abuse. I went to see the woman who was shouting the loudest, told her to calm down, that it was done etc.. just more shouting. Someone even suggested that they should roll the cab. There were passengers in the cab, must have been a terrifying experience.

Stoopid.

pah

ah djm778, was it the same story with the cab?

Hey VeeVee, kinda split in my mind what I really thought of tonight...it was great not having an escort...no one to dictate direction etc. but it was getting a little heated in spots...there were quite a few first timers I met tonight...wondering what they all made of it?

1. One o' you bitches has gotta, gotta, gotta try and hook Chug_it up with a job, he got laid off today... Everythin's gonna be fine Andy, I can feel it in my tired ol' rockin' bones...
   
   

1. CM was fu-nny! Crish Carsh helpin the poor guy who got stacked by a cab was particularly dramatic... That's his taco'd rear wheel on bonnet...
   
   

1. Everyone went back to Object/Em/Scott not scott's place for a hipster party (southies weren't invited), Object was doing a bit of flower arranging beforehand...
   
   

1. Robb was on his new LPHHSB, sickness in full effectness...

2. Moose, stylin' and profilin'... Where the fuck did you get to? I found Ben, he was looking for you...

edit: pictures are all out of order, you get the idea tho'...

Joe, Rob, new heads I met... cheers for the beer and bro love. It's gonna be okay I'm sure, something will come up; until then I'm hanging with the Lehmann Brothers massive!

Sorry about dashing off early but it was getting dark and I had to get home to sort stuff out.

Rob the bike is amazing, spokes and all!

Sorry Chug. Hope something much better will come your way.
