2011-12-31 New Years' Eve: The Conscientious Objectors Grand Slam in an Evening Ride

I must buy some of them. I'm running out of nappy pads.

After the cruel ribbing I received from Lola and Laner after I had to essentially get naked on Old St to go for a piss, I've decided its better to just soil myself.

I'm still disturbed by that, FACT.

Nothing wrong with a bit of flesh on display. Makes the world a better place if you ask me.

You're all just intimidated by my sculpted physique. I understand that. The fact I got called fat boy is neither here no there.

Totally.

If I come on this I'll be wearing all the layers I own, and some pepper spray in case you weirdos come near me.

Sorry if this has been asked before guys but; what kind of speed will this ride be at gentle pootle, or all out fixie skidder rampage? Only reason why I ask is that I want to come and if I do Mrs Bobbo will be with me while she enjoys cycling she doesn't really do pace.

Time-trialing inbetween pubs

I'm not organising this but I'm fairly sure I can assure you that nobody will get left behind!

I won't be RLJing and will be happy to sit back if the group does split anyway. I know the way to the pubs.

Speed really isn't something to even think about for this ride.

^^ Didn't you break something the last time you TT'd at a pub? (The Roe)

• reps of Swain's.
  

Sweet! Sounds like a blast but could be spoilt by incessant nagging being reminded of the fact that we have been left behind by our fellow cyclists.

We'll get split by lights occasionally but I personally think it'd be a bit off if anybody decided to ride off the front. Unless of course they are riding ahead to get a round in.

This is meant to be a fun, social, drunken spin.

no

yes

I'll be riding ahead to get a round in.

fixed

Beat me up Swains and you've got a deal.

first and last person up swains buy the drinks?

Hmmm...maybe not last up...not fair on anybody who doesn't want/like hills!

will teach them to be better!

We've gone from calming fears about ride pace to posturing about racing (my fault) in only a few posts.

Maybe £2 in, first to top, winner takes all? Would be a fun mini game although it is likely to be brutal if the Flask is one of the last pubs...

yea i doubt ill be feeling very sprightly by that time of night.

Is there a planed place that we are going to be when the clock strikes 12?

Braker was planning to take matters into hand for the stroke of twelve.

Hang on, that doesn't read at all well...

So is the prize completing the night uninjured?

Noted that I can't remember what I did last new year. Must have been good then.

I'm at the Emirates until about 5pm on NYE...its going to be a long ride to pub 1 for me!

Uh - oh.
