THIS PARTY WILL ROCK! Stokey knees-up all powered by peddles!

In this unstable epoch Human Torch presents: ……………….DISCONNECTED

A night of pedal powered mayhem where the power down and the people
will need to participate to keep the night going.

We've convinced the owner of the Old boys Club in Dalston to turn off
his power for one evening so that the sound system and lighting will
literally feed off the energy of the audience, who provide the power
by getting on bikes(provided by the magnificent revolution cinema
crew) to generate the electrical energy needed to keep the fast paced
show on the road.

The varying pace of the night is dictated by its progressive musical
drive which we have christened 'Zorba music'. This related to the
tempo of music best suited to cycling indoors(think 'Zorba the
Greek'!).
With live acts and Dj's have been briefed to play sets and songs that
start off slow and build up and up and up till you need a pace maker
to keep your heart beating quick enough to keep up with the rhythm of
the noise, this is not for the weak of mind and body,
this is for human dynamo's only! Music policy is tempo dictated
therefore speed beats style so expect speed metal with hard
trance,,Krautrock flowing into cabaret..(and that's just the Schwab
Dj's).

Throughout the night there will be projections of outlandish cycling
based imagery from around London as well as an early screening of the
film Soylent Green.

Tell your chums - this party is the start of the revolution! UP the Revolution!

These swrve 3/4 pants are quite jolly - they have a cool phone poke and are available in several weaves for various conditions

Order them direct - still cheaper than equivalent in UK shops
Get exact waist as they come up big!

Ask someone at the bus stop / tube station in New Cross if they want a free ride up West and then hand them the shopper! Follow the rider and then get your bike back at the destination - wallop!

DT Swiss RR1.2 Aero Section Road Rims
They are rather jolly. Take off the stickers and you got yourself some nice deep-ish rims that dont say 'steal me'

Just go on and do it t.o.
It's not like you are crossing the Gobi desert or anything - if you get in a pickle - you can always get a lift and a train
Live a little and show us losers how it's done!

OOh err. Plop a piece of sirloin steak down your shorts in that case - it worked for the Mongol Hoardes.
And take an umbrella.

That will be an ace ride. Normally the wind direction is from West to East - maybe you could train it to Bristol then ride back to London. You will probably have wind on your back and have the nice bit of the ride early on (when you can savor it!).
Make sure to do a few longish rides before hand - 60 / 70 milers just to get your bits prepared
Oh! and enjoy it - it will be ace

I would be careful as it might not be the owner of the bike asking for your money - Famous Ebay scam of contacting bidders who lost offering them the chance to buy - only it's not the seller contacting you - have you done a recent trojan/adware etc scan? Of course, i might be wrong!

A man MUST have a shed

Cheaper than the metal storage doo-dad and prettyier - just buy a mega pad bar and lock (about £25) and you are away!

Mega ride!
I did it on freewheel - i've only been riding my singlespeed for a week
i saw a few brakeless dudes (brown Bronx maxchine?) and doff my cap - that drop into Sudbury was hairy on two brakes!
Had to dig ddep to get going after the feed stop - crikey me it was pants weather - top 'teatowel for a scarf' tip that my Dad told me saved the day!
Got a puncture with one mile to go and gave the geared crew a run for their money!
When's the next monsoon derby?

i will be wearing a Borat 'tankini' and an orthopeadic shoe - find me tanning in Dunwich!

There are places to reload en-route. The odd pub and the feeding station...plus the odd garage has a hose or two!
We will probably rehydrate from all the rain!
Just take one BIG water bottle and re-fill. It's lighter that way...you could get a swig off a strangers camel pack?

Does a sporting robot maketh a god? Schumaker? Sampras? Armstrong?
Obllox! All acts of life, including athletic ones, should exhibit a certain flair or artistry. To win is dull, to inspire is ALL!

Great security chain available from builders supplies. The type they lock compressors and digger up with...£70 for 1.5m

I disagree. Lance focussed on the TdF alone. His 'Shock and Awe' tactics at racing leave me cold. Who would you rather have a pint with? Pantani, Armstrong, Merckx or Landis?

Dont shoot the messenger! Alamax9633 is only telling it how it is.
Most kids who knick bikes are half the weight of the testers so might not be able to exerpt as much pressure on those croppers.
I demand a hoody dispproved certificate! Where is Lynne Folds-Wood when you need her?

Great stuff David K - where will you be and when? i can pass by anywhere Central between now and saturday

Thanks for the LCC tip - i cant seem to find the registering doo-dad on their site

Or should i just say I'm Brian, and so's my wife?

Cheers Hippy - some good stuff there - loads better than the 'official' TdF site
Where is the LFG&SS crew going to be watching the Prologue?
I think i might take a milk crate with me like i used to do at the football back in the 80's...happy days
Either that or some stakker boots

Where do you reckon the best place will be to watch the Prologue on saturday? baring in mind i will be with Mrs and Jnr Rev Milo.
I was thinking near Buck Palace then you will see the riders coming and going...twice as nice!

What a jolly event!
Thrills, spills and speed...that was just my consumption!
More of this type of thing...but a bit less commentary next time - Rob Elms kept waking my baby up with his history of Smithfield rant
Who was it sponsored by again...i missed that bit
Respeck from a newbie on the forum to the man in pants - good work!
