2012-10-27 - Coffee Lovers of LFGSS

Yeah, make it 10.30, I need to have my 100th coffee of the day first.

You may just explode by about midday ;-)

Clearly.

Where's the poll?

No need to be pissy, missy.

Has anyone done a recce for the ride itself?

Now?
Oi you. I've had about enough of your cheek/helpful suggestions.

Also, do you know if you'll still be around on the 27th?

Of course I know.

just to say if it starts before 7am i'm out!

if i make it to Guinness 7.1 then 10am will be pushing it

As if we'd do that to you!

I think 10am is a civilised start time.

First stop is Prufrock, Leather Lane, as it's nice and central for those not so familiar with this 'ere town.

I've ordered some spoke cards from Bernie's printers (just waiting on apollo's final design) and will be making muff for the start.

Does anyone object to me inviting my Southwark peeps?

hats and I have a great ride lined up!

10am is fine for me.

Google is giving me this route for bikes. Anyone see a problem with it?

I will be making muff for the start.

I beg your pardon?

Looks fine, though if I didn't know the area I think I'd go in straighter lines, so:
along London Wall > first left at Museum of London roundabout > right along Newgate which turns into Holborn > right up Hatton Garden and finally left on to Leather Lane.

I'm sure a nice forumenger can escort you though, if you ask.

Thanks mm, I'll keep that in mind.

*mindboggles :-/

muff = muffin

As in http://www.wakeuptomuff.com/about/

I knew that.

:-)

^^thanks for clearing that up.

Decided what to do yet?

Yes, Zebra Cyclist is lending me a bike but my train doesn't get into Liverpool St until 11.30 so I'll need to catch you at the nearest cafe.
Can you send me the route so I know where I'm going please?

^ Sure thing.

Right everybody, if you're not on the list within the next hour, there wont be a spoke card for you :)

Time up then.

No spoke card for no. 45...

^ He counts! Is there no end to this boy's talents? ;)

I'm almost sorry to see him go.

Almost

Charming.

Do I still get a spoke card if I can't make it to all the cafes? I dont actually know the route yet, but might need to work saturday afternoon.

Of course! Where's work?

I paint portraits, I might have someone sitting for me, at home in Crystal palace.

None of us know the route yet.

oh right.
