2009-06-06 Sat - Strawberry Fields Cambridge Ride

Sounds nice. I'm in if we're back in time for the Nocturne. Probably too early to start a list. ;)

Its a great little fest fo' sure, they tried to stop organizing it as there was so much hassle, carnage for police to clear up, and quite a few people died, overdrunk in the last few years.

Its basically just a load of people getting together in a big park, drinking smoking dope and relaxing listening to music. I think people will love it, especially having just come from a long ride to sit down and chill will feel rewarding. I think its totally worth it, and hopefully a few of us cambridgers will be able to join ya'.

Keep us posted...

It attracts a lot of disparate groups; hippies, bikers, goths, metal-heads, ravers, and a fair few locals of no particular affiliation. Not huge numbers of students as a lot of them still have exams then. The stalls too range from greasy burgers and plastic tat through herbal highs, various varieties of ethical foods, some genuine craftsmen (fancy a posh hammock?) to stalls promoting various issues and alternative politics.

I particularly remember picking up a goat curry and an anarchist pamphlet on Tesla coils one year.

bumping this as we don't seem to have any long rides in the near future, so whose in for a ride to cambridge, and a festival at the end of it...

Dang, I'm out.

I'd be up for this as long as I'm back for the nocturne. What time are you thinking of departing CB?

I spoke too soon earlier. That's the date of the Exmouth Exodus, so I'm making an exodus.

Might be up for it. What route are U gonna take?

sounds like this could be a good'n. Need to get some miles in so I'm in

list time, need to check diary but a cambridge ride would be sweet, was awesome lat year, despite the amount of time it took.

highlight was trying to trackstand on the train on the way back!

Definitely up for this (with Nocturne proviso). Need to visit my mother anyway :-)

Hell yeah, this sounds awesome, I am in.

What time you leaving London?

Dudes I think I've got a weekend away on the south coast with a bunch of mates, if it doesn't go ahead I'll be down for this.
Whoever wants to take the lead on this, feel free to, if you need me to update the opening post, then just pm me and I will..
I'm going to leave it in your hands, to organise, make lists and decide on a route, though this one is pretty much the one we did from last year. Get in contact with some of the Cambridge boys and lets get them down so they can ride back up to the festival...

I'm happy to guide you to the fair/facilities once we enter Cambridge.
I just need to know what time and where you will be leaving, so I know when to take the train to London.

should be totally worth it...

obviously needs to be an early start, say 9am, so you can get there with some time to enjoy the event before having to get train back, and also to allow for stoppages, mechanicals and the unforseen..

I'm totally down with getting the train to London and then cycling back for this.

To jump in with all the other Cambridge lot, the multi storey car park near by has a bike park on the bottom level with 24hr cctv etc and the best bike shop/repair stall in Cambridge (Bicycle Ambulance).

Matt Power and I had a lovely ride to London on Sunday that went basically parallel to the A10. I'm not sure how it would be riding North though as after the first ten miles we realised the rest of the ride was pretty much all downhill to London.

'er indoors' birthday.

IN!

(quite obviously, that means OUT)

So who's down for this? Think we need a list...
