Brighton Hard Court Bike Polo - Official Thread

hmmmm....it's not looking very likely with this level of enthusiasm...

we will still head down early and hopefully get a court and wait for everyone else to turn up.x

I'll be there in an hour. Peace.

Bit of a faff today as I'm going to drive down with camera etc, but I'll be there asap...after I've had some breakfast.

anyone pick up some black gloves I left yesterday?

Also Andy I can't make the Brighton Tourney anymore cos I have important Family birthday - my bro won't be there either I think. So Eezy Goals is out!

Soo gutted. Will come for the Sunday hopefully anyway.

where can i get a good but inexpensive double brake?

Mine came from here - http://www.bikecare.co.uk/product_info.php?acc=Brake_Parts_Page_5&id=89

A bit of googling turned up a few other results. Search for "dual pull brake lever" or "double barrel brake lever" and see what you can find.

The absolute cheapest way is to make your own. I'm sure anyone who has made one will be happy to show you how.

Group ride to falmer from shabitat at 17:30 for polo tonight !

so do we have enough of us for a knock around on Sunday? Or is everyone in Cambridge?

I'm up for it. Alex should be too..

yeh i'm up for but iv'e got another puncture on my polo bike which i need to fix, out cycling in the morning so i'll pop along in the afternoon.

Too wet for me at the moment. Forecast isn't great either. Can't be arsed with slow, slippery polo...

Im up for it as well. Should be there around 13.30. According to windguru the weather should improve along the afternoon.

yo! I is alive.

I've sent out a few texts but got nowt back. I think it's fine weather for polo today, I am going to eat some breakfast and get down there.

Should be there by 1.

Might pop down for an hour around 2. Sorry but too much work on..

hey my polo bikes got another puncture and not sure whether i'll have time to fix it before tonight, do you think the'll be enough people to borrow a bike and it not be annoying number wise?

Definitely come anyway.

I am so excited for our first sunny summer polo session! I'm out at Falmer already so will see you guys out here.

woop woop, I'm in.

I just ate my lunch looking at a sun drenched court just waiting to be polo-ed on!

IN.....like a sardine tin !

Proper good sesh last night! My legs and back are aching like crazy though.

Ok, barriers for the courts are finally fully confirmed and paid for.

The only thing structurally left to do is to source some cheap (free) wood to skirt the bottom of the barriers. I was thinking that we could start ripping apart and building up a stock of pallet struts. Any other suggestions welcomed.

They're gutting the inside of the Gloucester club at the bottom of Gloucester Street. There's a skip outside, it had a lot of wood in it last I checked. Might be able to stash some at my work...

Can someone text me squatter Matt's number?

Dice - see what you can do.
