  • Ah, moving to Hackney, Sparky?

  • Cycle hire fund

    1) Shinigami
    2) Ian (conker)
    3) dirkbang (it was my stupid idea - but we've yet to find someone stupid enough to actually do it!)
    4) fotochap - can't wait to see this in action!

  • Fotochap, details are still being fine tuned with regards to the coach and van. Katie-coo will announce once she has sorted the best/cheapest option. Priority will most likely go to the earlier people on the list but remember there are always people dropping out/ making their own way back/riding back God forbid...so no need to panic yet about missing the bus, as it were.

    Thanks for sorting this out Jaitch et al. I haven't got SC tix so holding out for this :D Incidentally, what's the coach capacity?

  • Coach capacity will be around 53; nearly there now in terms of booking coach and truck so I'll find out how and then start a poll *a la *last year for signing people up- I'm aware there are gaps on this list and people aren't signed up in chronological order (so to speak) and some have their own way home too.
    Keep an eye out early next week for coach-signing-up, I promise I won't post anything before then, and it might well be towards the end of next week..!

    5) Katie-Coo. Mebbe Barclays would sponsor it and provide one for free? (Actually I've got access to one for free at work, could see if we can borrow it?? Or ask Dimi3 or Ma3k who work for the cycle hire shebang?)

  • I also don't know why I just keep looking at the list and don't sign up. Time to do something about that.

    guess i had better finally take myself off the list. spot 12 free.

  • Ah, moving to Hackney, Sparky?

    No, not that close. Moving from Norwich to Finsbury Park/Manor House.

  • Before Norwich I used to live next to Hackney Empire, which was just behind the start point.

  • Coach capacity will be around 53; nearly there now in terms of booking coach and truck so I'll find out how and then start a poll *a la *last year for signing people up- I'm aware there are gaps on this list and people aren't signed up in chronological order (so to speak) and some have their own way home too.
    Keep an eye out early next week for coach-signing-up, I promise I won't post anything before then, and it might well be towards the end of next week..!

    Cheers for the update KC! I'll keep an eye out for the poll.

  • I'm still in for this, but have just found out that I will be moving house - from within a short ride of the finish to within a short ride of the start. So I'd like to sign up for the coach/truck if that's already happening?

    Can I come down to yours early Sparky? I'm still a little bit worried about this ride but should be fine.

  • Course you can, mate. The more the merrier.

  • Great stuff :)

  • Greetings folks,
    I know things being sorted for the coach, van etc – big ups all round for those sorting this logistical challenge...I am going to stay on in Suffolk, so no coach required...
    I have dreamed of doing this ride for many years, but have never got it together. Right now I am feeling a mixture of great excitement and also being utterly terrified. As long as I can get out of babyLon-don alright, then it will be steady eddie style all the way.
    See you at the start line.
    Peace and Love,
    Tim

  • No, not that close. Moving from Norwich to Finsbury Park/Manor House.

    Close enough. Congratulations. :)

  • Close enough. Congratulations. :)

    Cheers fella. Looking forward to it.

  • I'm going to be doing this on my audax bike Sparky, which will have a triple up front with any luck.

  • Cycle hire fund

    1) Shinigami
    2) Ian (conker)
    3) dirkbang (it was my stupid idea - but we've yet to find someone stupid enough to actually do it!)
    4) fotochap - can't wait to see this in action!
    5) Katie-Coo. Mebbe Barclays would sponsor it and provide one for free? (Actually I've got access to one for free at work, could see if we can borrow it?? Or ask Dimi3 or Ma3k who work for the cycle hire shebang?)

    If you lot (or someone else) can help me not have to pay for the 24-hr hire somehow, then:

    It's going to be a lonely ride though.

  • ill stay with you econodog! no one left behind!

  • Given that my weight has gone in completely the wrong direction over the last few months you'll probably beat me on your 20kg mostrosity too.

  • ^^^^^Dude, I haven't seen you in ages (since your accident). You coming.AWWWWWWESOOOOOOME!

  • Yeah, I'm doing it :) I've only been to souths once this year, it's not as easy since I'm currently living in Sidcup. I'll try and make it again soon

    My brother now wants to do this. Took him long enough to make up his mind!

  • Just received this

    *It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of Barry Mason, Coordinator (i.e. Chair) of Southwark Cyclists and Manager of Surrey Docks City Farm. Barry got into difficulties while swimming in the sea on holiday in Spain on 2 June and tragically drowned. Our hearts and thoughts go out to his long-term partner, Cheryl, and his two adult children.

    Barry will be hugely missed by all those who knew him, and his passing is a particular massive loss to cycling. Barry was visionary and energetic over very many years in campaigning to improve safety and security for cyclists, particularly in the Southwark area. He also helped many cyclists gain confidence and skill through the numerous cycle rides he led and his cycle maintenance classes. His enthusiasm and love of his role at Surrey Docks City Farm was typical, quickly making improvements and bringing in much-needed corporate sponsorship.

    The monthly meeting of Southwark Cyclists on 8 June will be going ahead, as we are sure this is what Barry would have wanted. For the same reason, the arrangements to get riders and bicycles back from the 120 mile overnight Dunwich Dynamo on 16 and 17 July will also be going ahead.

    In shock, disbelief and much sadness

    Colin H-P

    Secretary, Southwark Cyclists*

    I'll be making my tribute to Barry on the beach at Dunwich because it's by getting me there that I learnt what cycling can achieve. I cannot imagine where my life would be right now had I not met and been inspired by him.
