2009-03-22 Sun - 40th Birthday roll

Like a lot of people I tend to ignore birthdays a bit but thought as it's my 40th it would be really nice to do something memorable. So, I'll be at Trafalgar Sq. at 12 midday on Sunday March the 22nd before riding down Whitehall over Westminster Bridge to a pub called The Hermit's Cave in Camberwell for a pleasant spring beverage or two. If you know me and are free to come along it would be great to see you. If you don't but fancy a ride it would be equally lovely to meet you. The Hermit's is a proper pub and very welcoming. Cheers.

Just to clarify I'll be at Trafalgar Sq. from 12 midday on Sun March 22nd, I'll be hanging around there until about 12.30ish waiting for people to tip up if you're coming from the north/east/west or just fancy a ride. We'll then head to Camberwell for about 1.30ish to the following pub:

If you don't fancy the ride or can't come until later then hopefully see you at the pub! My number is in 'the numbers' thread if you need to get in touch. Chin, chin.

Yey, I'm not the only old ****er here! Thanks, VanU

joel, if i am around that day then will definitely try and join ya. might even give you that present from Teddy that i have been looking after for what feels like 40 years ! ha

@ShannonBall can I take that as a curmudgeonly yes then ;-)

@jonny, it would be great to see you if you're free and there's at least a couple of drinks in it for you, for me being such a slacker :-)

Where are all the other old gits like teenslain?

i don't know you, but am an old git too.

I'm a coffin dodger too!40 in May.

I like this thread, makes me feel young at a spritely 37.

Piss off skully. You ride old codgers bikes so everyone thinks you're at least 57. ;-)

VanUden - never met you but might try and make it along for this. I'm 40 on the 25th of March.

FFS; one of you must be older than me.

I'm sure I am

You have no idea what 'old' is!

I'm practically a spring chicken on this thread (42 on March 8th), which is nice... I'll try and make that Joel, sounds like fun... :]

Phew I assumed it was all youngsters on here- I will be 40 in Sept and have a beard already, sadly wont be able to come for a ride as am in Bristol/ Cornwall but have a blast, maybe I could do a similar thing in Sept down this way.......

Sounds good Mark, although I have no idea where the Hermit's Cave is, I'll try to be a pilot fish.

Just wondered if your frame is having the same birthday :)

40 in May..... 1969 was clearly a great year!

@murtle - fancy joining us then? Would be nice to meet you.

@Skully - you fancy it, youngster? As it's a Sunday we won't be staying up too late ;-)

@BMMF - you coming old-timer? Or off bothering nurses again?

@andyp - cool! Let's make it a joint 40th roll if you don't mind coming along to Camberwell?

@Platini - would be good to meet you you old croc. Yay or nay?

@50/14 - you have to come as an example to us all :-)

@Marky - fancy it chap? Be good to see you.

@teenslain - you're also a fish! Ha! You have no excuse mister :-)

wiganwill, willo, fancy a jaunt from Trafalgar Sq. to a decent pub, with plenty of bike parking, in Camberwell?

Crinklies United!

Yeah a 40s club!
I have 3 years' experience being 40. And I love it.
I'll try to make your birthday Van Uden (it's after the Bridges ride though).

Depends what's happening on the home front. I'll be training in the morning, and if I head to the North Downs, I might get away with a sneaky pint in Camberwell on the way home.

Mind you, I'm not even 36 till May, and I've been warned about dodgy old geezers/geezettes proffering Werthers Orginals...

Will try and lose the family and join you.
If polo is on at Harper Road we could ride by and demand respect.
