And the spoke dangling card is ready! (note that I don't have any of these metal loops...)

Slightly OT for this ^ but does anyone any experience of the www.bromptondock.co.uk yet?

I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious but it would appear that you can borrow one for short periods very cheaply - just £2.50 for every 24 hours in fact. Which makes my potential plan to ask one of you 'orrible lot to loan me (an additional) one for a few days fairly redundant - if it would only cost £7.50 for a long weekend, without the additional concern of using someone else's 'baby'!

Rod that is a really good idea. Just had a look at where the docks are around London - I actually thought there would be more by now. That might be a viable option for other people that are lurking on this thread.

Thanks Caz!

See y'all in the morning.

Looking forward to this.

Recce ride today went well, see you all tomorrow morning! This will be fun!

Really wish I could make this tomorrow.

Have fun!

Like a risk taking catholic it's a last minute pull out from me. Have a great day people.

Looking forward to this see you all in a bit!

No! You'll go to hell for that!

Well that was a bloody lovely way to spend a Sunday.

Excellent day out. :-)
I enjoyed it all very much.

Loic, Dropout - What a wonderful day!
A thoroughly civilised day out, amazing brownies, flapjacks, pints, off roading, nearly running over a spaniel followed by a marvellous late breakfast at Jacks whilst watching the worlds.
Rep all round!

Cazakstan: I need to apologise for the domino Brompton accident at Trafalgar square which scratched your top tube - I felt bloody awful. Please let me buy you a pint or three in the future alternatively I'm quite happy to let you at my Brompton with a rusty screwdriver...

Yes - it was brilliant. Sorry to bail early, but family duties (and roast chicken) were calling.
Managed to rack up 40 miles all in - not a bad days work on Bromptons.

Will be planning in more off-road brompton excursions soon.

^^clefty as I said to pops don't worry about it, takes the pressure off me worrying about my first scratch haha! It's more a scuff anyway, it's not major damage!

I do love beer so if you want to buy me a pint I won't say no but don't worry anymore on it. :-)

Awesome day peeps! Thanks to Loic and John for organising.

anyone else got any pics?

apols for the instagram

Looks like a great day - amazing weather for it too - I'm determined to be there next time.

the guy with the messenger bag mid shot in the top of laner's 3 pics looks like one sexy mofo.

I would like to make a suggestion for the next ride (as there is obviously going to be one)

I've ridden through here a number of times, and it was on the 50 fixed ladies ride.

Apologies for the terrible blackberry pics, but...

The peloton gives chase, sheltering from the headwind behind their ever faithful domestique...

The autobus approaches, channelling the spirit of Didi Senft in their desperation to outrun the broom wagon...
