THANKS EVERYONE! Esther and I got home nice and safe and slept through most of Sunday. Twast nice. Thank you everyone for being so nice and forthcoming with us. We really appreciated it a lot being all foreign and all. Sorry my legs gave out on me! Esther and I had a very fine time and we hope to see you again. If ANY of you ever come to Los Angeles hit us up with a note and we'll give you a warm welcome. Thanks again!

Works nearly done! Off to home first to get the bike boxes and then it's to the airport with Esther Bunny! I'm excited to ride and meet you alls. See you guys tomorrow!

This is my bike and I'm the bag. I hope to see a lot of you around after this weekend!

hahh! kick stand has been gone for quiet some time now :)
photos are very old

yr not even bringing that one to london! :)

What do you mean by 'trailblazers', neverclever?

There's a little light rain forecast, but nothing major. It'll be a warm and mostly dry night. I can hardly wait.

I'm VERY excited myself. Seeing my bike all packed with foam last night made me very happy. Even better was the realization that transporting the bikes wont cost us extra! So thanks so much for letting us along.

Oh and trailblazer is a term for a tour guide. I guess in the old days guides would burn marks into trees to make a path. I suppose it's more used here since it's a name of a professional basketball team.

Moonshine?

Hopefully won't be a problem. Metcheck reckons clear skies and a low of 12c. Fingers crossed it doesn't change.

ha! right. i was checking weather. com and it says light rain saturday and sunday. we'll ride regardless but we'll need some trailblazers ahead of us.

This rain or shine?

neverclever... the blur song?

ha, yes! don't laugh! seeing them at hyde park later that week! it was my excuse to come in the first place but now this ride among other bicycle related activities have turned into the main attraction! a spoke card would be a serious treasure to us!!! i hope to get one! i'll think of something to bring from the states to share...

It's settled! We're going and we'll hopefully be prepared --- we have minewt x2 lights, spare blinky lights, spare tubes, a gps, grenades and train money... will we need locks? We just "trained" this past weekend by doing a 50 miler to the beach complete with heavy drinking. Our plan is 3:30pm Heathrow arrival, then we're checking in to our room in Kensington and napping until it's time to meet at Hyde Park. Needless to say we're super excited about this.

Upon further review we've decided to take our spare bikes. We're not guaranteed to come yet as who knows how we'll feel when we get there but we're going to try! Since we're going to have bikes now I'm wonder when the ride starts?

"We'll meet at midnight at Hyde Park Corner on Saturday the 27th, so technically the date is Sunday" or on the calendar "Fri, June 26, 11:30pm – Sat, June 27, 7:00am"

This sounds like exactly the kind of ride I'd want to go on! We do the same kind of thing here in Los Angeles. Alas my gf and I are flying in on the 27th. We need to secure bicycles and then we can think about going on a ride. We ride fixed here but I imagine the only kind of bikes we can get without giving our wallets away are some crap mountain bikes of craigslist? In any case HELLO! This is my first post and I'm Daniel from Los Angeles. We'll be there for a week and hope to ride around with you lot. I'd post an introductory message but alas I'm in the nursery. If anyone can help out on acquiring bikes on loan or for cheap that we can ditch after let me know! Thanks! I ride a 52cm SE Premium Brew and she has a short 43cm Fuji Track. We'd return the favor greatly if you ever came to LA!
