i'll have to check it out and sample this fabled dark budvar. what do you ride in case I spot you? (maybe I should check the bikes and faces thread...)

jv someone told me that budvar had the most sugar of any lager - which turned me off it a little bit to be honest.

budvar dark which is pleasantly crisp and malty is available from the pub at the top of marchmont street wc1 bloomsbury, i forget the name of the boozer sorry

Interesting, lived round there for over 4 years and never been into that pub. Think I may have to now. It's called the Lord John Russell or something, I think? Unless you mean Mabel's tavern?

Second the Wenlock, best pub in London and the quiz on Thursday night, run by the Fat Controller, is a must do.

Also, pickled eggs on the bar. Any pub without them cannot compete.

I work West, live central, but would be up for going work -> Richmond -> home. Having said that, all of my best efforts to get involved ina group ride keep coming to nothing. Let's strike whilst the weather is not shite...

Although, now I come to think of it, my postcode does begin with a W, does that count?

Damn, the stag do has become a bit of a three line whip - looks like low turnout is being a problem :-( Possibly I can get away early and catch you up. velocity boy - could you whisper me your phone number?

Hope you guys have a good one, if I don't make it.

Find an entry that is half the rpm that you are looking for and double up.

Or drink / smoke more - then your legs won't go that fast. :-)

9pm sounds good for me. Have had a serious sleep deficit recently and don't want to be up ALL night.

I am really really tempted, just trying to sort out the logistics now. There is an informal stag do that I may have to go to, but seeing as I am missing the Dunwich for the actual wedding I think they owe me a ride.

As for the BBQ, interesting idea, should be doable.

The weather looks slightly dodgy but might be OK :-)

This one is lovely, but takes a while to load. But, you can downlaod the applet and just run it straight on your PC.

It does skid patch calculation and gives leg rpm / mph for different gears as well.

Man, when I cycled along that off road path a few months ago, I got 3 punctures in an hour. It's full of flint :-(

velocity boy Godwin's law.

I wonder if anyone except me knows what you are talking about?

or is that me being geek arrogant?

This me. (but I have less hair now):

These are my wheels:

Maybe we should start causing (minor) traffic accidents to all the poeple who drive into their car park. Some caltrops here, a little bit of oil there, low hanging branches. That kind of thing. Just in the places where only cars would be.

I'd love to work out a way for everyone who drove in on one day to get a mildly sprained ankle :-)

Momentum I found a pub with brooklyn lager here. We should meet up and swap bodily fluids.

I'm kind of hoping that was directed at Jack, not me ... Although, I'm flattered :-)

I work in Kensington and could easily take a bunch from the Duke over that way if anyone is round that way. I live about 2 mins from the Duke.

I'm also up for putting cash into getting lamination done.

Oh and Aidan, have you thought about going through all the old threads and making a list of all the lists we've had? A big, fuck off, meta-list to end all lists?

There was a thread linked to off CyclingPlus which was serious discussion amongst American roadies about whether they take a 'piece' when going on training rides.

It was quite unbeleiveable. I may google for it and edit this post if I can get over my lethargy.

I've been in New York , working and riding in the ECMC. Been hanging out with Jack the Crank and he says to say hello to any old members of the one percenters.

As far as I can remember from our drunkeness he mentioned momentum, trampsparadise and more.

So, here's a hello from NYC and Jack. He's one funny fucker.

In the end I dropped the broadway race and did the checkpoint ECMC event on Wednesday instead. The weather was really sucky and the roads were slippy as hell , made me think that the BB would be too dangerous!

Anyway, I ended up doin loads of ECMC events and had an absolute blast.

As for results: nowhere of note although I did get a t-shirt prize at the awards in Sunday - mainly because I was standing in the right place when they threw it into the throng :-)

Saw DH4 last night, I think it was a fire sale, not firecell!

It was a great action movie, but a lame Die Hard. Even the yippie kai a line fell flat.

Ah well, it was still fun.

So, I managed to get me and my bike safe to NYC. Cycled into work this morning, about a mile down Broadway.
Started chatting to some peeps on the NYC version of this forum.
And then, before I knew it, i'd registered for my first ever Alleycat. Check it out. I have a feeling that this is either going to be the best or the stupidest (or both) thing I have ever done.
Wish me luck London.
ps - what side of the road do they ride on over here?

No can do, hope you guys have a blast.

re: the mobile theme. It seems now that when i log on from my phone it gives me a nice cut down text only view. It used to render the full site html...

Brilliant, I can't wait to see the finished articles.

Perhaps we should get a paypal account up to take donations for printing costs?

That sounds like just about the best night out on bikes ever.

how did you go in the darts?

I'm going to give it a miss. combination of the rain and having to pack my bike up and get to heathrow by 1pm tomorrow.

if you guys go ahead then I hope I am proved wrong and you have an awesome ride.
