    The QE2?

  • • #252

    I know the way from West to Central and would be willing to lead that part, from Central to East I haven't got a scooby doo.

    Thinking about it what is the most eastern bridge?

    tower bridge

    EDIT- is it? on google earth it shows a bridge further east? the A101, but i htought it was tower bridge because that has to open so that the big ships can get through, and thats as far up as they can come?

  • • #253

    that's the one.

  • • #254

    Lets add a mass trip on the Woolwich Ferry to the ride. That'll be fun.

  • • #255

    fucking awesome!

  • • #256

    fucking awesome!

    isnt it a bit far east? and it wont be open at night will it?
    i remember on the east ride, we took up half the ferry and a police van came to check on us

  • • #257

    No idea really. Just thinking about the jolly of having 100+ people on bikes on a boat.

  • • #258

    Woolwich Ferry track-stand championships...

  • • #259

    i'd lose that.

  • • #260

    I'd lose that and then the swimming championship straight after

  • • #261

    oh man, imagine the shame of being washed ashore still clipped in.

  • • #262

    I reckon I'm going to bail as I'll be doing the VJ ride route again that weekend and although I am a machine, I don't think it'll be much fun trying to do both in one weekend. Although I do want to see what all the fuss is about...

    If anyone wants me to step in and guide the ride I will.

    I think you should keep it as a big massive ride with a few recognised catch-up-points though.
    I believe if someone can't be bothered to check out the posted route before hand and do a modicum of homework, well..

    Going into spring there should (hopefully) be less instances of punctures and the nights will be (again hopefully) warmer which makes it nice to stand around a while and wait up for people, have a beer and conversation.

    The Bridges ride is a relatively safe ride to be on if something goes really wrong. There are always buses and taxis or even the tube that will accept a disassembled bike. It is not like Dunwich for example.

    Staggering will just lead to a big mess on the thread and on the night.
    If people must blitz off then let them.
    Last time a large group shot off the front they missed both Southwark and the Millennium Bridges (from London Bridge to Blackfriars) only to be seen again at Westminster.

    I think that the pace should be moderate with a few sprints for fun up the bridge approaches, maybe we can fit in a mini-TT along the way..

  • • #265

    I'll always think of |³|MA3K as the boss of the Bridges Ride.

  • • #266

    we should all do this ride starting in different places all going in different directions an individual bridges ride ! would be great fun wouldn't it
    or we could just do what we always do ride in group having fun and drinking beer and not worrying too much about things

    If the people want to do a big mass ride, I bow to the collective will. I'll be one it anyway. Ma3k, t'would be good to hear you barking orders out on the night, if your free and want to take the lead its all good in the hood.

  • • #270

    isn't that the whole point of these rides corny, a bit of group hugging and forum love ?!?!

  • • #271

    Yup.

    lubes up

  • • #272

    If I might stick in my pennys worth, the group kept splitting up the last time. With some missing bridges altogether. I like the big group feel

  • • #273

    dicki got nothing against the group forum love, just worried that it would become too disparate and take a lot longer than it should, and might not be the greates or most enjoyable experience if the group is that large.
    It seems the people want big bridges rides then thats what they shall have..

    sounds like a laugh, i'm in...
