Oh for crying out loud - you're such a show-off... ;p

A great thank you to everyone that came today. It was an excellent day and there was some just supreme rides on show. Thank you for all the support today and interest for the Santa Ride, so check out the new thread.

P.S, all t-shirt winners get free coffee for the rest of 2009, wow. See you soon.

orders a mcarthy beer and coffee holder

Which are these exactly, where can they be got?

I missed the ride, boo to that. But I now have a shower so swings and roundabouts... I shall pop down for coffee one lunch this week. Got to see the place.

Oh for crying out loud - you're such a show-off... ;p

Guilty as charged! =P

Great ride, nice one Fullcity! Personal highlight was at Flat White when I necked a large errr... flat white and then a Guinness in about 5 mins flat. Made my head go somewhere a little strange! Lovely to meet lots of forumites Mooks, Mmccarthy et al. Oh yeah and truli, sorry for calling you italian. I owe you a beer for such a grievous insult!

Thanks fullcity great ride, see you at the santa ride :-) Great to meet all of you...

Noted in my list of "people that owe me beers after calling me Italian" hahaha

Naughty naughty! Someone wasn't riding fixed!

Great pictures, mooks. I was really annoyed I had to miss this (and I don't even drink coffee).

won a t-shirt

But I thought you already had one? What's wrong with the one you've got?

Well since I don't have long sleeve shirts/jumpers/jackets/coats, I can have more t-shirts to compensate for that =D

I did win it for most inappropriately dressed for the weather too =P

Was a lovely morning for a ride - thanks for organising full city.
It was really nice to meet new folks. Great coffee and the burger i bought at the Borough Market was pretty tasty too!

Yay! Awesome ride.

Sorry for the circuitous nature of much of the route. Especially the stretch of weaving through traffic on Embankment. That one was definitely my fault. I quite enjoyed meandering around.

Here's a map of the route as I remember it: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3308138

Crappy iPhone photos to come.

Great to meet lots of you guys. Hope to see you again soon. (With my new bike :-)

Yeah great to be out on a forum ride again! Good to see everyone.

Great coffee too, was wired later.

What are the opening hours of Fullcity? And do you have a website?

big thanks to all of you, was a fine touch you gave me of your city! lawrence, you're place and ideas rock, make sure the coffee stays just as good as it was on Saturday, makes it the best double espresso we'd collected that day.

You're all too kind. To answer your questions, the opening hours are 7.30 til 4ish, Monday to Friday. We have a site under construction, fullcity.cc.

Lovely photos, mooks. Fantastic ride too, awesome coffee, awesome day. Nice one fullcity, sadly can't make Santa ride, but another espresso ride soon would be incredible.

Alas crappy quality and a bit of a random selection.

What! Fantastic attire. I need a decent brimmed hat in my life.
