2013-08-09 - Fri - The Bridges XVI - East to West

No, only Čiq will be playing songs.

So is this the normal bridges pace?

beer stops after every bridge you mean?

Drink while riding and get distracted by lots of things.

myself and a few other forumengers are going to be at the roebuck after work which is not too far from the start point. people are welcome to come and join us.

it's the roebuck on great dover street. you can google the rest.

Fucking out. Working.

I´m out :C Stupid stomach ache

In. Kids to bed, then heading into town.

Good fun tonight, pretty annoyed I had to bail so early but flying out in the morning and had to get my bike ready for the flight.

Hope everyone else is having good fun and was great to see so many people out!

Rad ride as always, thanks to all!

Looked like there was a great group out.
Was v. jealous, returning from picking up the gf in a car.

Any update on the bloke (Aussie?) who went to hospital?

no idea but he was leaking a fair bit of claret when I left them on their way to an a&e when i was riding backstop for the group.

such a shame it happened so close to the end of the ride. hope he's ok.

as for me I was all cocky letting my garmin guide me home using the automated route back to my stored home location.

except it took me straight to richmond park which was locked up tight and every single detour i took just presented me at another locked gate. need to stick my garmin in to see where exactly the fuck it was I went.

despite that I'm home and my dinner is in the the oven (finally) and it's still earlier than the time we made it to the pub after my first bridges ride 2 years ago.

That was a really good evening. Nice to meet everyone, my first group ride and not my last if I have anything to do with it.

Anyone film the nonsense outside the Tate Modern?

Oh man, I didn't even notice this thread and was just looking to see if there were any rides tonight.

Fancy doing it again?

Nice ride , looking forward for the next one.

What Velocio said.

Haven't been on a forum night ride 'for time'!

Woulda dug it tonight...

wow, fastest 'bridges yet!
when we sailed sgraighr past the offie in fleet st. I was getting a bit pannicy.

really good turn out. nice to see so many faces and new ones too.

nice pacey ride back into town and then with john & chris back as far as camden. finally got home at 2.30 - earliest yet by 1 hour!

hope the injured is ok
cheers to john & chris
see some of you up on blackheath sunday 9am!

it's a tradition now, that someone ends up in a hospital.

Really great ride last night, great turnout and loads of fun. Thanks again John for taking the time to organise this and for leading the way.

Very nice and speedy at times ride! I made it only to Albert Bridge though, so 11 bridges from me and carousel at Tate http://youtu.be/oPTIHZfELvA

Hopefully the injured is OK

great ride! I had to leave early due to head planting 1/2 a km from kew bridge! haha

If anyone saw the incident (over the bars somersault to head plant), please use the memory of it when you feel a bit down, to cheer yourself up. If you see me in the street please do stop me, laugh in my face and walk off. Good times!

Don't worry about the blood, it was just a scratch... My head always pumps out quite a lot - it's not the first time this has happened. This one was particularly impressive as I could feel blood literally squirting out of my head. I'm sure the doctor will give me an aspirin for my crushed ego.

Thankfully the bikes fine - the bike gods find me amusing.

Big shout out to: The guy that gave me a tissue, the other guy who gave me a snickers flap jack ( tasted a lot better than it looked ), and the rest of the concerned pack that stopped to make sure I wasn't road pizza. Especially temp who rode home with me - to make sure I made it in one piece! Cheers !
