2013-04-13 - HHSB & Steel is Real ride to Brighton (9:30am Clapham South)

no no.
no one feel guilty.
it was cold as shit i dont want you all freezing your arses off too

as a kid I had epilepsy

Sorry to say, but this is the sort of thing you should make clear to the ride leader/organiser beforehand. I know you weren't expecting it to kick in or affect you, but noone could have known that beforehand. That is not just the case of HTFU, that is a medical condition.

Not sure how organised this ride is considered in the eyes of the law, but from both parts, better safe than sorry.

no no i know.
i personally dont think it had anything to do with that. i think ive just slipped on the surface and taken a tumble.

i havent been on medication for a good 10+ years so its come out of nowhere.
i didnt even remember about it all, it was me dad who told the doctors when they rung him. will have to consider it though now come further testing

sounds like not eating enough is it, especially if everything from after lunch was a bit blurry.
mandem gotta know what mandem gotta eat to keep mandem running.

hands up who's hungry..

but nah serious i think that was part of it.
just poor show on my half.
lesson learnt though ey..

Was just saying, because from some of the LCC protest rides I've been on, the ride leader is the law, and if you are not cycling between him or the last marshall you are legally your own responsibility.

For example when we crossed a junction and someone stopped the traffic to make sure everyone got through OK, that was a good move, but if something went wrong the first question would be: "are you allowed to stop traffic?". No. just as the bus wasn't on Friday when B0N0R got hit. If you are on an properly organised ride, marshalls wear special clothes and have signed paperwork in advance.

I know this is the "fuck you cycling" ride, but still, its good to be aware and have eachother's backs.

Oi pooface, cycling tomorrow? You're not answering your phone. I'm going out anyway but it would be nice to have company.

Might sound a bit gay but if we all buddy up with someone of similar speed/ability we can make sure we're not left back alone.

good to meet you guys on the ride, epic weather.

great news that all body's made it back safe in the end and the yellow fort is getting good bed & Breakfast at Lewes police station.

up for a summer ride (one with sun) there and back.

my vote for the next ride has to be for a fast paced ride to Cambridge.

nice and flat

I'd be up for that, I'd gear up to keep up.
