  I enjoyed the London - South-End ride a century ago and this looks good so I'm in! If I can get my hands on a bike by then...

• Whats good about Stratford?

  in Miscellaneous and Meaningless • 10 years, 4 months

  

  stratford just gets better and better
  like a fine wine

  And two years later, with the adulteration and gentrification of Dalston, Hackney, Mile End, and -dare I even say it- Hackney Wick... that above quote seems to still stand.

  But anyway, surrounding areas are nice and all. Forest Gate even got their first gastro pub recently if I'm not mistaken (the forest tavern). Not sure what locals feel about that. One man told me he preferred the cheap beer when it was an african establishment, so he now just goes to the weatherspoon down the road. There's a not too bad alternative scene in walthamstow village, some parts of leytonstone, wanstead. And obviously hackney wick is just a bike ride away - btw this weekend is hackney wicked, I know some of you will visit. The rest, give it a thought :P

• 2012-09-22 - American Love-In Ride to Cambridge

  in Rides & Races • 12 years, 3 months

  

  A tried and tested route for a civilised day out. Ideal for your fixed/single-speed – but of course please come if you fancy it and only have gears. The route is dead easy, flat and basically perfect for spinning with one gear.

  Last time I believed anything on this forum I ended up climbing endless hills thinking I was gonna faint!

  I liked last weeks ride to Southend so I might join this one if I'm free and if I can fix my bike before then…
