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

It was coming out of braker's arse in mine...

Cheers John for the great ride and great seeing old and new faces again! Great blast back home for team east, definitely warmed us up by the end of the night and stretch the old legs! Hopefully will see more of you guys on the up and coming rides!

Ho (AKA double spoke)

What time did you get to Beckton?

A Great night last night for sure. Only started cycling this week having knocked a bike together, so that was the most riding I had done since I was about 11. I'll be honest, today my legs are struggling...

Looking forward to the next one.

Got home about 2:50am...

That was all i could focus on in the kebab shop.
Cheers for the escort home, and great riding with you.

Thanks MA3K for a fantastic ride.

The ride back home East drained what little energy I had remaining but nothing a dodgy kebab (and some lovely cleavage) couldn't fix. Nice to have met some new faces and to have caught up with some old ones.

Cracking ride. Enjoyed the fixie massive in terms of size and it had everything else necessary: wrecks, skitching, punctures, booze and speed (pace).

But it was mostly just a very fun social ride with good peeps that was well led and organised by MA3K. Big ups to Sweaty, Big Dave and Sonny for keeping it real out there.

Cheers dude, you were excellent company the whole ride. Lesson learned that a half full beer can does not stay in a bottle cage for long. Best drained than stowed.
Also learned the elongated show off skids are best avoided when inebriated and riding with 50 or so of your contemporaries! Or so my Missus says anyway...

Thank you MA3K for a fantastic ride. My favorite section was the final stretch before the footbridge. The reflections on the Thames and the quiet which was perfectly interrupted by the sound your followers created made my night.

Definately, was a magic moment when we were riding in pitch black!

Yeah it was a good ride, but the skitching on the left side of an enormous HGV was ridiculous.

Who was the perp?

don't know him

Pissed...

Yeah. It wasn't cool.

No exactly Back to the Future...

Wasnt a fan of the italians who were persistently cutting people up

Yeah, typical Fiat 500 drivers...

bastards, the lot of them

They were a bit psychotic.

Lovely way to spend a Saturday Evening - thanks John.

Here's the beer stop by the Tate.

Great Pik man!

Was annoyed all night i didn't bring my DSLR camera, stupid iphone didn't perform in the dark!

I remember someone flashing the camera in my face about 4 times and the flash almost blinding me.

paparazzi chasing you again, xander?

Can't be easy being you Xander...

Awesome pic, wish I was there..
