Thank you ladies! Brixton Hill, the traffic lights at Fairmount Road, just after Negril. If that works?

Not sure about timings..

Nice to have 4 coming in together from the SWs.

Route? And does anyone fancy riding out to Ep Forest from SW2 way with me?

Speed-wise, is there a lycra test?..

I've been to track training 3/4 times, would love to have a girl's sesh. the girls tended to gravitate into twos anyhow I found.

Much appreciated if it could happen!

Yo, if there is room for another, I might be number 11. What's your route?

I was dreaming of the L'Eroica, this could suffice :-) x

I won it from the lovely folks at Velorution who'll also be there.

1 free ticket to the Scandanvia Show at Earl's Court this weekend, either Saturday or Sunday.

Try that,.

I have been meaning to make an update of this, so I did 130 mile solo trip cross-country, after visintg Grandma and mum's side of the family, just got a train out from Taipei (capital city). PS That 30 miles was a bit of a non-sequiter into an off-road valley path, ended up in some fields of baby bananas and stuff.

I picked up a bike from one of the Giant stores (soft launch, not much info out there) in hualiane and returned it at Taichung, halfway down the country. Stayed over night in ReiSuei, just rolled up and asked in the village where was ok and ended up staying with a family who grew polemos. Awesome cycling infrastructure, each cop station has air, water etc. and signage is really good. I lost my map on the second day at 8am setting out on the second half. Dinner on the first night was at this amazing restaurant festooned with hundred of bike crew and motorbike crew touring photoes. Bumped into 2 Japanese journalists touring by bike doing a cycle report and on my flight into the country, I had a whole documentary film crew sitting in front of me getting shots of sleeping long-haul passengers and were doing a film commission by Giant/Merida.
Second day lunch was in a restaurant converted from two steam-train carriages from the japanese occupation years ago. The scenery was completely breathtaking, it was all photo porn.

Here are some pictures.

if I were to go back, definitely do Taroko Gorge, which is insanely amazing and possibly do it with other people though I love solitary rides. It was good to see where I grew up in a slightly different way.

I'm going to Taiwan in the 22nd November to visit my grandma. I grew up most summers in taiwan, my mother is Taiwan Chinese, my dad HK Chinese. I'm thinking of doing a ride, roiginally solo when I was go out there.

Get in touch, I'm gonna be there 22nd Nov to 4th December. I'm thinking of hiring.

I just did induction day before yesterday. Excellent fun! Back to train, weather permitting next Saturday...if anyone is going - say hi!

At about 6pm today. Looked like collision with a driver turning left down Hayter Road so cyclist was hit coming down onto the Hill..?

Guy seemed ok but was lying on tarmac. Para's were asking him to try to move his feet, it looked like a sprain. Ambulance and police were on the scene already, though he looked more smiley than hurt.

Mr. Bianchi frame, black and turquoise colourway. I hope you're alright.

Good luck tonight dooks. I would be there but will catch up to play music once the exhibition is up at the Lido. Lorraine Kelly is filming on Monday morning and 'Good Morning' have specified that they won't let me put my art in the windows which throws a spanner in with the mount. ARGGH!

Help!

Ladies, I would have loved to come. Alas, I have an exhibition at the Brockwell Lido Cafe.
You're all more than welcome to come to the Private View on this Sunday 25th 6-9pm to have a drink in the sun by the pool!

Southies and swimmers and triathletes, if you stop by, my work will be up until the 25th August. Until nexts drinks, if not before..

I've been going to a fantastic Japanese hairdresser's for the past 3 years, they are really damn good, you don't have to engage in moronic hairdresser chit-chat if you don't want to - and its about £36 plus shiatsu head massage. Ask for Nasu Nagano at B:ZAR and say Gloria sent you.

It's on Brewer Street just off Oxford Street actually. http://www.b-zar.com/contact.html

I'll have to get down there next week. Medium rare!

@Clefty

Rocking. I used to live right next to Coach and Horses before I knew about this. Yes, I'm colour coded to my bike in that pic.

Clefty, would it be the same as this BMX on the right? This is me, as a 7 year old growing up in Hong Kong (on the right) before I graduated to something larger!

Nice to see this forum, will be dipping in. I'm in Brixton, commuting to Charing Cross on a dutchie, which is a tank of a bike but stopped for a while. My oral historian lecturer and neighbour wanted me to go on a 116km night ride with her and is doing a mechanics course which prompted me to have a look on here again.

I may get up the guts and go and do it if there are ladies rides being organised!

Have we had this yet?

Make a fleet and recreate the Spanish Armada..

Just sent a reply. Let me know if I'm being retarded and it hasn't worked.

I've long harboured a desire to cover 'Communist Daughter'. Which would make my parents despair yet more (possibly) at their dissapointing chinese daughter, ha!

A Bowerbirds kinda thing, or acoustic boy/girl voice. Would prefer to be on guitar, if only to play Nick Cave and Neutral Milk hotel covers.
Accordion is effing heavy, I'm cycling with it on my back up Brixton Hill to practice tonight in fact.

"The study was blunt in its conclusions: "Women may be over-represented in (collisions with goods vehicles) because they are less likely than men to disobey red lights."

By jumping red lights, it said, men are less likely to be caught in a lorry driver's blind spot, whereas less assertive cyclists who wait at the lights just in front of a lorry are at greater risk as they cannot be seen by the driver."

very good point

Worst thing was that the picture they used in the Guardian was of me. I had most of my colleagues who I'd never spoken to stop me and congralutate me on not being dead!..

Does anyone want to form a band? I play guitar, accordion and keys, sing etc. maybe something in the vein of Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy, Andrew Bird Matador, Sub Pop, Bella Union type of thing. but not entirely averse to Dischord Records or some kind of post-punk/post-hardcore noodling. Message me. South London based.Just play for fun.
