lets see if this works then..

Great pics mate, can't remember getting home, I do remember leaving the Pembury at 7.30 am though, sort of intercepted it at closing time, then sort of stayed, for a long time..... All in all, a top night if tomfoolery...

Thanks to all for a top night, twas pretty mental, was great to meet new people, cheers to bernie for sorting everything out, I think we should have another one real soon.....

Even though was only there for a few pints, great night. Loved the welcome as I skidded up to the Toucan, and the subsequent cheers to every other skidding passer by.

Chainbreaker - you are a lot like your avatar.

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or worried...
I run away from Ireland 'cos I cant find a job and first social night out with some cyclists involves leprachaun hats and a randy bishop.. thought I'd left all that behind! :-)

Nice one for organising it Bernie, lots of good fun, spirits not dampened by the sudden downpour between mcnastys and the toucan.
I dont even remember leaving or the route I took home, but thankfully pointed myself in the right direction and saw a sign for the elephant and castle, so I knew how to get home from there. First time cycling home from Soho as well, I was well proud of myself the next day.
And of course, I was also feeling like complete shit for the polo tournament!

Thanks for the superior pix jcgarcia, mine are just taken on a mobile phone.
Hope your arm heals up bearfoot!

7.30 am ???!!?
Oooh I like lock ins. But they're bad for you. Whole weekend is a write off afterwards.

ey KEVIN are you coming for drinks tomorrow?

?? Where and when's it on? Might come for JUST ONE pint, but I'm pretty broke until the end of May when I get paid by the new job, just forked out deposit and first months rent...
Also might be playing polo in Hackney if a game comes together...

Monday night is always Saaaf drinks, at the Coach and Horses. Head south from Elephant and Castle onto the A23, down to Brixton tube station, and take a right turn to Clapham. Full details on the relevant thread, or call me on the mobile, and I will send over details.

It's all about SE drinks these days =P

SE is on Tuesday though... and anyway on a Tuesday there is only one place to be drinking, and certainly ain't SE...

Wrong, there are two places to be drinking, which I shall be demonstrating this week =P

You coming up the hill? Wicked.

Indeed, it's been too long!

Gonna shoot back down to my home from home about 9-ish though.

mick, call into me at work on the way back south & i'll ride with you (got those ethopian beans for you too)

Will do dude, which one is it you work in?

great night out all
i love the forum just for this very reason
great people a bit of of cycling a good few beers and some shenannigans
sorry not to have stayed right till the end of the g ride but the toucan chilled me to the bones and i fancied a bit of a ride out to get warm...
