2009-04-12 Sun - Easter Vintage Jersey Ride

this brought a tear to my eye

YouTube - YELLOW PAGES BILL WEBSTER RETRO RACING BIKE TV ADVERT

'ey up, i remember when bikes were bikes!'

Be good to have people down if they want to come, regardless of jersey or not. I'll forgive it this time, but not for June!

btw - Be cool if we get some people down with cameras tomorrow.

And I want to state again that this is not a race. If people want to ride faster, they can, but they will need to wait up ahead for the rest of us. We won't leave a man behind!

Edmundro - The 'routecards' are just print outs of the route. I have had to spend money on the spokecards, but would feel a bit cheeky charging. Anybody who wants to buy me a drink at some stage is welcome though.

Please remember to check your PSI is high enough & make sure your bike is in perfect working order before you leave.

I'll bring enough tools to fix most problems but everyone should try and be sufficient by bringing a spare inner tube, hand pump & wrench.

See you in the peloton

Hi guys... so just to confirm with the people of New Cross, we will meet at New Cross Gate station at 11h45, and leave at 11h50.
Lucky I believe we met there before (last december) for another ride so probably see you there...
