2012-02-18 Sat - The Frozen Bridges - Winter Edition - XIII - East to West

Brilliant ride tonight thanks John and nice ride south with Vunugu and Palu after, (I swear Sutton gets further away every time). No brawls though. I feel left out.

@Tommmmmm... nice one today. Didn't realize you broke off with the north crew. The east ride back was shifting some too.

@SHinuku Kiss.. class basket. Thanks for the rum at the end. Totally helped me get back.

@ EVERYONE> Great ride! Thank you very much...night night now sweet dreams

All got a bit fractious on the way back, but there were plenty of us so hopefully nobody ended up sleeping in a bus shelter. Good times, but the bleak sight on Chiswick High Road put a bit of a dampener on things for me.

Changed and chilled and off to a party.... WINNING!

What happened in Chiswick? It's normally sedate at the best of times, so can't imagine anything happening at 2:30am

nice ride everyone! thanks foremost to ma3k for leading us through this lfgss classic and thanks for all of you for making it this pleasant to ride along.

i was happy about the civilised yet swift pace, happy about so few (1?!) punctures and to meet some new folks and to be able to catch up with some i met before.

frozen fingers ride ftw!

this was my first LFGSS ride.

totally enjoyed it.

i had an amazing playlist in the headphones, the route was fun and i loved the pace.

i'll do more, definitely.

how the hell do you get hit by a bus at 2:30am?
hope he / she wasn't hurt too bad.
glad you all had a great time, gutted to miss it.

The bus was on the wrong side of the road and there was plod EVERYWHERE.

Great ride! Thanks ma3k and everyone else who made it so awesome.

A few pics from the night, great ride, lots of fun thanks all!

looks like you guys had a great time! Will deffo be there next time!

Are you feeling better?

Yes thank you my friend. Gutted I missed the ride and seeing you guys but didn't think I should over do it so soon. Did you have a good time?

Utterly hilarious.

The best part was the boss holding up a bus so that our ramshackle peloton could pass through part of the south bank.

The driver was apoplectic.

I thought the Chelsea tractor that could only just fit through the width restrictions was pretty funny too ;)

^^^^ He was drinking ales.

Ha! I'd forgotten about that.

One of my favourite moments was watching someone help the local yoof who wheelied past adjust their brakes. Warmed the heart.

hahahaha!

Didn't he look shameface at our round of applause.

Top ride. Nice one John. I think I finally warmed up at the end. Must have been those little sprints up towards Hammersmith Bridge.

Thanks to John for the organising

Thanks to everyone for making it a great ride. Good to see some familiar and new faces.

Lost some of you guys going back east due to a calf seizing up.

Saw that accident in Chiswick. Didn't know it involved a cyclist.

Eventually made it home.

it didn't involve a cyclist, it was a pedestrian.

I stand corrected. Thanks.
