Yeah. Big ups to Bernie for his mentoring/coaching/keeping the stragglers going as per usual! That final push up Swains was much, much appreciated. Arvy also deserves a special mention for well timed pep talks. Cheers fella!

And yay! for a me and Yasi, jus' because.

Nice to put some more faces to names and generally have a totally top day. Thanks to those who organised/led!

Stragglers/whiskey/stella/bitch slapping/chip feeding/gossip ride as your farewell ride?

I was bitch slapped last night by marcus. it hurt

Does anyone know if Jen got her bike home from Norths? I can confirm Norths Dog definitely didn't eat the key as he has a bit of a bad tum and virtually nothing solid came out. Apologies for the graphic description.

Can't wait for my first drink today.

^^Ha, I remember that. Twas a solid connection.

I think i remember getting him back at 2 in the morning while he was at the bar in a club

Fair.

I think i remember getting him back at 2 in the morning while he was at the bar in a club

Sounds about right. Good times.

shall we do another one today?

ha. nearly did. Groundhog Slam In A Day. was back in souths at noon today but this time stayed there for football watching.

great day yesterday. lots of good riding, and lots of good drinking. 50/50 split.

particularly loved the roll from norths to easts and then from easts to wests.

sweet ending at the lamb and then back to south london for another 3 cheeky pints at the regent with markyboy, jacqui and corny.

chapeau to the Norths for teaming it like that. and to all for the rolling and the supping. look forward to seeing more photos

Well that was fun. Not sensible but fun.

It's taken me till now before I felt comfortable to start drinking again.

So, who's the dude I owe an inner tube to?

not I, but you owe me £25 and a lizard.

You could do with those £25.
You own a huge wallet full of business cards and cardboard cutouts.
I suspect those business cards are in reality trimmed cereal boxes.

So, who's the dude I owe an inner tube to?

I gave you an inner tube, but you certainly don't owe me one.

I'm 90% sure you bought me a pint in the Lamb anyway.

Nice to meet people I hadn't met before and see those again I had. Good riding and good drinking all round.

Oh, and how on earth did I mistake the table cloth at the Pear Tree for an Arab headscarf, that had been left by one of the posse? @T4, I will return it, promise.

Cool dude. Can't recall who I did or didn't buy pints for but I'll be sure to get you one next time I see you.

Now, anyone got any lizards going cheap?

yeah! dont do it again! we were got stop 17 times by the police from holborn to waterloo! but you were to drunk to remember Bernie! thanks got ur negotiation skills,my drunk talk and "the Dobbie brothers" were there to scort us in a black tamden with wheels on fire,all the way to Avalon for a pint with 31 naked clones of a Blondie Lucy Liu! once there you look at me with big demonic orbit eyes and scream "PULAAAKEEELAAPULALAAA", and i shit myself and got the hell out of there!.....or maybe i just dream all this.

great ride all had a super time
blast pint blast pint blast pint .... etc
the only way to ride around london

Does anyone know if Jen got her bike home from Norths?

Yup. Taxied home. Had a nap. Got car. Found spare key. Drove up Swains. Rescued bike.

Great ride (til I was a key-spaz). Loved the Norths "look" - much t shirt envy.

I haz someone's D lock. And even their key...who, and how (do I get it back to you)?

Good to hear you got it back but gutted for you that you missed the rest of it. Or had Swains killed you and you needed an excuse? ;)

The D lock is mine and there isn't any rush for it so I can head to HH or any other forum thing you turn up to. Just let me know when/where suits you really.

the straglers group is always the best one! lets organise a "straglers ride"!

we are great

dance dance dance

I hurt
