New Members Compass Beer Rides: 7pm Departure Trafalgar Sq

The hills are going to kill me when I get back on the bike. Secret training me thinks.

Not yet, but I'm on the case with a new bike for it. Perhaps I should change my name to tricitybenchix?

So how long will that take to put together, then? Eight months? Make sure they don't steal all the trends you want to set before it's finished and you then have to panic post pictures again. ;)

Well. that's the nursery thing. I'm not very talkative so it takes me ages to get over it. I think this is actually the last nursery post. Anyway, I'm really looking forward as bike polo is really appealing to me and I've never even seen it before apart from some youtube videos.

Ah of course.

Cool.

it should be obvious who's going to polo from the mallets strapped to their top tubes... but in case it's not, i've got a black holdsworth currently with 1.5 disc wheels, the back one of which is supposed to look like this:

FKIT
I am going to have to leave the North drinks to Noel, John and Mike. My Kick off has moved to 7:30 in Barnet so i need to be start heading out of town from 6:30.

I got the spoke cards and will be back in the Flask at 9

since greasy's going to miss the jump off at trafalgar sq, only those who head to norths will get spoke cards, obviously you'll have to wait for the grease monkey to arrive, hopefully that won't be too painful for you all. Charco's going to get me some more on thursday so will spread the spokecard love to any new and old members who need them from thursday onwards....

Can't make it for EASTs tomorrow. Work. Lame.

Ooh, harsh! It'll probably take me longer than last time, I'm even less able to afford parts than I was before. 3 years approx.

Thanks to everyone at south last night.
I had a really good time met some great people ,everyone was really friendly. Cant wait to go again
Looking forward to trixie tonight.

The weather is not looking to my liking at the moment. I never ride socially in the rain, cos I fucking hate it!
So if there is any sign of it, I will have to bail. If not, I will be there before 7 Sorry everyone

Stringer you pecker, you live 200yds from the pub!

yeah but i'm not an old timer you dickweed, not been attending for long either!!

Mikec . . . do I really have to say HTFU!! (says me with a fucked back! )

I'l be there sans bike with the Official North Drinks spoke cards.

checked the met forecast no rain man, just heavy low clouds,
although the weather lady this morning said if there were rain it would be annoying rather than worrying
random

It turned out to be a perfect evening for cycling. Though we lost a few people heading North, before we even made it out the West End. I think those that came the planned route were pleased to be introduced to Swains lane. I use the word pleased in its loosest sense here

I wanted to make it to trixiedix, but I lost contact on old street and didnt know where the car park is so after 30 mins of looking for it I decided to go home. I'll go next week I was about to watch only anyway.

shit wilda sorry man i was wondering where you had got too!
sorry to hear that man, i wont be there next week but will be the week after and souths too, first week in march
speak soon bro

that was a good ride up north. thanks for leading mikec. swains is a lot steeper than i thought. cant wait til im fit enough. def would want to get back there and complete it, plus do some of the other hills.

nice pub they got there up north. good to meet the old and the new :)

good ride back south with dropout leading. fast ride down with a decent group. my knee hurts from blackfriars onwards, but glad i went out tonight. ibuprofen + R.I.C.E. + sleeeep

this compass ride is a brilliant idea! corny, you da man

Bit gutted about tonight

Had to go to Northampton for a band paractice, then the other guitarist decided he was ill and went home, what a waste of time and money!

Anyone about Friday for central drinks?

can the cambridge guys have one? =D
cos i can only get in saturdays..

and i'm not fixed, yet...

Was great to meet people tonight, thanks all for making me feel very welcome. Think I'm getting the hang of this one gear thing, but it's a bit weird tanking it back down the hill when spinning yer legs feels like yer chain's come off. I suppose fixed would let you know it's still there, but I'm not sure whether to add that to the pros or cons.

At least I managed Swains Lane while wondering what all the fuss was about. Actually that's a massive lie. I did manage Swains Lane, but the legs were really damn close to giving up and only sheer bloody mindedness multiplied by peer pressure got me up there. First pint after that was the best I've had in ages.

Same again next week with any luck :)

wilda - really sorry to hear that dude and profuse apologies for losing you. I remember you at Goswell so can't have been too far from the action - not sure what happened - thought we had everyone at all times. Obviously not. Sorry man.

TrixieDix was brilliant - see thread - thirty plus people rolling up to go - then SE with magpie for an after-tricks pint with some beauts.

Thanks all, great to see FE and Rachel in full effect at the King's arms - great to see Peckham (or is it Pirate these days) too.. Pickles, get on witcha bad self! (El Squire - just say no dude...)

looks like I might be grandslamming this week just cos this is turning in to one hell of a week. Corny........ muchos props big man.

No.

Brilliant night!! Thanks for sorting this out Corny. first proper social night out tonight meeting at trafalgar sq. then down to trixie, i love riding through london at night, it's even better when there is a bunch of you.

good crowd tonight, saw some really impressive tricks and one major taco, unlucky on that one mate. hope you got home ok. beigels from bricklane were tasty!

i still can't wheelie . . . gonna keep trying though!

really good to meet jon and david, and a whole bunch of others. and cheers to pajamas for leading the way to south easts too.

see you around next week folks

I know I was close I just didnt really know where exactly, next time I'll do my homework and find out where the places is beforehand ...
I got stuck on red lights so it took me a while to get moving again and was too late

Phil, is that Peter Tork in your avatar? Only just occured to me...
