Good start....central meet, say Regents Park (optional race lap)?
General tour de londres (decided as we go), my knowledge is limited to north/west so if we're there I know good/quiet streets,
Wing it otherwise, ride and enjoy, there's always a decent pub nearby.
Highgate West Hill race at the end, or is that pushing it?

So, Keirin's off but the weather looks good.
I'm gonna suggest Monday, and I can't suggest a definite destination/route at this point, but there's surely enough of us on here to get something together at reasonably short notice.
There's been talk of Cambridge, that would be fine - anywhere else is good too - suggestions anyone? Brighton? Oxford? Reading? (No)
Meet central-ride-pub-ride-pub-home, or something like that. Anyone? Bueller?

I was just about to post something of this nature....in fact I will!

Sorry, I'm gonna play the Southend/Dunwich card and bail.
I've ridden in enough rain this year and this is a really nice sociable ride to be enjoyed, not endured.
Have a good one, all!

I unclipped accidentally this morning at 25mph going round Shepherds Bush Green in front of 3-4 lanes of traffic.
Wish I'd been a bystander at that point, cos then I'd know what a bloke on a bike at speed with one leg desperately flailing about in the air and the other one going round and round and round looked like...

There's a spring in it which should keep it permanently "out" after you remove the cable.

Nice Kingswood, dogsballs, love the colour!

Baptism of fire, I like it!

Got an 18t Shimano one going, but that's not what you asked for, is it?! Sorry!

I'm up for it, whenever it is. Keep us posted!

Good on you both! Ask away, everyone here is willing to answer any questions you might have, and when you come meet people it's a totally friendly vibe.

Ok, so I wanted to start the 1000th discussion.
Anyways gotta say I love it. Had a moment the other day caning it past loads of roadies and commuters up a really steep hill on the way home, coming to a perfect trackstand at the top, waiting for at least 20 secs, then shooting off.
So, what's everyone else's good bits?

As do my housemates when I mutter shit about bikes. Doesn't stop me though, I'm boring and proud of it.

Was pleased to not be passed by very many roadies on my recent 3 lap Richmond Park Time Trial. Me and DDM were having a noobie crack round for shits and giggles and got respect off one group of (about 4) fixed riders. Loved the hills when you shoot past folks, but did shit myself when those with disc rears approached and overtook, strange sound....

Ha! I closed my browser down when I saw I was the only peron online!
I am doing other stuff though, honest!

Too right!!!
Great ride again. Although I'm left desparately toiling every time I fucking love it. It's good for you, don't be afraid of a few hills, it's character building!!

That sucks man, sorry to hear it. I've been burgled a few times myself and it's 'kin rubbish.
Glad your bike wasn't on the list.

That's pretty bloody high, Smurfbike!
I run 72" and know I could go a lot higher for most purposes 'cos most of London is damn flat. But there's certain hills I want to be able to really annihilate before I do.
I'm planning on treating myself to a smaller sprocket when I stop smoking!

Ok, Saturday's looking lovely so we're going again.
Any brave North London types (or anyone else who fancies making it along for that matter) fancy some nice big hills tomorrow morning? It'll be fun, although I'll be desparately flailing around in BringMeMyFix's wake.
Meet 9am Gloucester Gate, Regents Park, and we'll work a route out from there.
Anyone?!

We are not doing the Rotherhithe tunnel: no one likes it apparently (see first bridges thread)
We will go through the Greenwich FT South-North then the Woolwich FT North-South which lines us up for a nice ride back to the finish: Observatory Park (Greenwich hill).

Fair enough, I didn't fancy Rotherhithe much myself. Here's a Bridges II - revised version

I know nothing about SE London though, I'll just follow you locals for the last bit.

Cans on the green...

Finish your lovely birthday meal and say "Right, I'm off - sorry, gotta see a man about a cog..."
Or perhaps not. Sorry, not much help!

Possibly screwed it up in the Barnes-Hammersmith off-road wilderness, but for anyone in doubt:
Les Ponts Marque Deux

obviously, correct me if I'm wrong...

Will be nice because we can gradually assemble at Kew from whenever o'clock, and central London's roads will be clearing out as we approach through the night.
