2011-03-26 Sat - Bridges XI - East to West

Addition to ride rules:

6) Don't get drunk unless you are shit-hot at either riding or falling

Pro at both

^^ A-level in falling, as revealed in London lights ride last year.

Given the bike a once over and checked my shit - sat in the kitchen ready to rock. I'm quite excited, should be a good one!

I've just had a nap. Got to get up for work in the morning and 70 miles will probably send me straight to sleep when I get home.

I'm a comin' but I'll be a little late. Leaving Shepherds Bush at 9pm...

Ohhh, I want to come but I'm tired from all the anarchist excitement in central earlier. Next time.

just come, Xanders coming.

Hmm, not home yet, and would have to go straight out again... decisions.

Come John - not seen you in aaaaages!

yeah, missed you on the ride east.

I couldn't, I'm not mentally prepared!

I'll probably come for the start, and see how it goes, I've already cycled to Chiswick and back once today.

Last minute addition, see you guys in an hour!

Apologies from me, just got back from the pub.

Ffffuuu. Had a nap in afternoon and just woke up. Hope you guys had fun!

Ffffuuu. Had a nap in afternoon and just woke up. Hope you guys had fun!

Same thing happened to me! I woke up earlier but gave up on the idea of chasing the group.

Smoking in bed. West is the best. Top fun night.

Excellent night! Although the post boat race broken glass delivered a puncture at the very end.

Unremarkable slog home on the South Circular failed to diminish the highlights.

Whew. I'm fuckoed. Fun night. Having sampled south, east and west roads today I can confirm that west is best, you bastards. It was nice to meet a couple of people tonight too.

But I saw a dead cat in the road on the way home...it made me sad :(

Now to raid the cupboard.

Well on the way back I unfathomably managed to follow the wrong people and lose the group heading back East and had to ride home from Shepard's Bush by myself :( HOW DID I DO THAT. FACE. PALM.

I had such an amazing time though, it was such an enjoyable ride! So nice to meet everyone, thanks for being so welcoming! I heart you all.

Now I'm going to fall into bed and sleep for about 200 hours.
