2010-07-18 Sun - The Football Stadium Ride pt II

Ha!

I'll post my birth certificate up again in a minute...

Tell you what, this ride is gonna be E P I C!!!!!!!

We should ride round in final table order. Prem > lower leagues > foreigns.

Any ideas how we could spice it up a bit?

I was thinking of taking in Wembley(time permitting). After Spurs, nice ride up to Wembley then back down to The Emirates then The Bailey(same pub as last time on Holloway Rd)

Pisti is a citizen of the world. Probably from Norway. Probably a season ticket holder.

G, why don't you offer an earlier start meeting somewhere west to get to wembley then get back to QPR for 10.30?

Or we could just start at Wembley at about 10 then down to QPR....it's pretty straight to Loftus Rd and would only take 20/30mins?

yeah this ride could start at wembley at like 0900 but be optional. if people don't want the extra miles they can joing the main ride at loftus road.

by the time we get to spurs we ain't gonna fancy trekking over to nw london and the back to emirates. i recall some riders were getting tired (read thirsty)

bingo

Some sort of a headers and volleys comp. played at each ground ?
Or Bingo...

ha, fuckin hipster bingo no doubt

Phoenix from the flames scenario played out by the home fans ?

Good luck with that Festus : )-

All bikes to have a white balloon tied to the back, coloured in with a marker to look like an old black and white football.

Could stop off in Regents/Victoria/Hyde Park for a kick about and some food/beer.

I think the suggestions of stopping in a park for a kickabout may cause distractions - you know, the momentum for the ride's gone, people get pissed in the park, injured or just generally decide to sack the ride off and stay in the park....

I'm all for having a kick about after the ride in that little park opp Highbury & Islington tube, plus it's 2 mins from the pub

+1

sidis = no kickabout.

and graham is right - it's all about the riding. besides, by the time we have soaked up a couple of hours of the Td(v)F and G we won't really fancy it

@ jonny - agreed
Ok, so barefoot keepy-ups by the home fans in front of the ground.
Highest gets pintage bought by the rest.

$0.89 each

Me and Mrs Brave would like to attend. But. We don't have football shirts. Can we wear rugby shirts? Failing that I'm checking to see if Rapha have a football team. The replica kit is bound to be "paired down and stylish".. plus reassuringly expensive

Then it would be The Rugby Stadium Ride so nada!

Get some cheap ones off ebay or something, choose any team/country

adopt a team.
most people in your position pick:
chelsea, arsenal, liverpool, united.

Kick-Asphalt fast and furious..... FTW

Brave I've got about 4/5 Everton shirts if you need a lend?
