Stops for falafel:
Damas Gate, Shepherd's Bush - @platypus suggestion
Falafel and Shawarma, Camberwell - platypus
Red Sea, Edgware Rd - eyebrows
Green Valley, Ken High St - eyebrows

more tbc - who else has got some recs?

North End Rd- Fresh Falafel. Potentially the best in the game.
Also Green Valley is on Upper Berkeley st. Better for a quick kibbeh >falafel.

And you must try iBaklawa's and Al-Hamidiah's Knafeh (ask to hold the syrup at iBaklawa).
And Diwan Dimas' traditional syrian ice cream

heavy falaf knowledge. can't wait for that ice cream

Gutted! I'm going to be out of town on Friday, and I was really looking forward to this. Enjoy the Faloveliness!!

Who is actually 100% coming on this ride, please?
Lots of people have expressed interest but I would like some confirmation that I won't be on my own!

I'm coming. You may wish you were on your own.
What's the dress code? Can I wear my beater for this or is it going to be too slow?

Great! You can ride literally anything you want, the more unusual the better.

How do I do the list thing?

It's best to use a convention like 1), 2), etc. that Markdown doesn't reformat:

1) @platypus
2) @pit
3) @kati +1
4) @MCamb

There are some other options, but this one seems to be the most straightforward.

Not in, BTW, hope you have a great week-end.

route looking like this currently.

how about meeting on Edgware Road at 7ish, trying Red Sea, cycling out West to Damas Gate, then following the marked route back towards Edgware Road?

Sounds like a plan!

Great. That's the plan. Red Sea, 414 Edgware Rd, at 7pm

I may be at a loose end on Friday. 90% sure I'll be there.

Sanabel on Uxbridge Road.
That place in Petticoat Lane.

Al hamidiah is on Edgware rd!

Will join if I get away from work early enough.

Sadly not in because I’m in Switzerland (and later on in Italy)

how about meeting on Edgware Road at 7ish, trying Red Sea, cycling out West to Damas Gate, then following the marked route back towards Edgware Road?

So when is the plan to start eating falafel? At Red Sea at 7, or Damasgate at whenever the ride gets there?

And what about beer? It's a forum ride...

Yes! First falafel, and meeting point, is Red Sea at 7pm
Just working on an updated map to make things clearer.
