2009-07-11 Sat - Emma Memorial ride

Will everyone be bringing a flower along like we did for Eilidh's memorial ride? [U][/U]

I really wanted to do this ride, particularly after reading Ricardo's post. Sadly I have a prior commitment at that time but will pause and think of you all and in particular Ricardo and Emma's family.

Gutted to say but I have to work, so shit.

Hi Crazy James

Haven't heard from you, how are things going for this saturday?

Add 10 more people to your list. I did a facebook event for this Saturday as many of our friends from uni are there, http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/event.php?eid=98190453018#wall_posts

If you need me to help you guys in anything let me know, once again thank you for doing this, I hope we can raise loads of awareness!!

Solidarity to you all and see you on Saturday.

Diana

James's putting a lot of work into this.

I'm gunna see if i can try and make it somehow.

will phone you shortly RE printing Eterea, everythings going ok, i'm finalising the route tonight and doing a recce tomorrow night with a friend who is on the ride, got someone sorted for laminating and cutting the cards had a few problems with printing tho, been chatting to the bbc people, hopefully meeting a producer/director today, although now they're saying they might not be filming the actual ride, just the beginning and the end, and even that is not definite, kinda pissed as they said they were going to be filming it when we spoke the first couple of times, so trying to arrange the loan of a helmet/bullet cam so we can produce some kind of video memento for Emmas family and ricardo, worst case scenario I will pay for the hire of one myself.

yeah - stone circle is on the south bank (near the bfi & national theatre).

Thanks go out to Aidy (keepsake on the forum) for printing at VERY short notice on the spoke cards, and cheers to Diana Emmas friend (Eterea09 on the forum) for cutting and laminating services, much appreciated guys :)

have you got a route yet or ride duration yet?

Thanks, its not been an easy week.

Yes, doing the Route recce tonight with a couple of friends, wanted to have it dealt with sooner, but i've had to fit all this around my work, and in between sorting through just under 1700 wedding photo's, returning hire equipment at the crack of dawn monday morning after working through the whole weekend, the only time off I had this week was this morning which was spent dealing with BT sorting out the buggered phone line, and dropping off prints to Oval to get spokecards cut and laminated, then getting my ass to work, its gonna be a pretty simple route though so I can't forsee any problems.
Ride duration approximately 75-90 minutes with some words read from Emmas friends, and on behalf of Riccardo at the end of the ride back at the stone circle.

Nice work James, I'll do my best to make it down, if not, see you soon.

Hey guys!
Thanks for all of this.
Me and Emma's family are really grateful for what you are doing. The most important thing right now is that her life, and the life of all the people who died in the same way, don't have to be vain and worth the safety of the future London cyclists.
I will be on your side even if I'm not gonna be there.

I wrote something to read tomorrow. I sent it to Diana (Eterea09). There is something from me and also something wrote from her parents. There will probably be something also written from friends and cousins.
I spoke also to the BBC journalist few days ago. Didn't ask why her London colleagues didn't give the news of Emma's death, but I hope they will be a good job.
Safe ride guys

Riccardo

Thank you for your note.
Im going to see what I can use to ride tomorrow.

I've just heard from James, he's managed to borrow a HD helemt cam from one of the guys at Shop14 to record it for you Riccardo and Emma's family. I hope this may be of some comfort to you.

lil

After much messing around from the producer the BBC said earlier today that they won't be filming at the ride, however I have managed to borrow a Contour HD bullet cam off of Sano on here, which means we will still get a high quality recording of this ride and everything that happens regardless, I hope thats of some consolation, anyway it looks to be a good turnout so hopefully it should all go well.

Don't forget to post tonight in the Southend thread to remind people about it James. One more reminder can't hurt.

Is there a dress code to this one ? I know some of the others was all white....

Hope this goes well tomorrow and has a good impact.

I can't make it due to holiday.
