London Parks Ride - Wednesday evening, June 17th

[Tynan]

I've met Radius, not him I think, really scruffy herbert, dark hair

and defo not those handlebars, dear god

What time & where again?
Only just got in, lovely headwind today.

 

[Landslide]

6.45pm, usual spot! Bring your navigational skills!

6.45 somewhere on the southside of the bridge.

I think that covers quite a large area.

I should have checked earlier as I leave in a few minutes. It someone has an official meet point and I don't find it you'll probably find me here

Corner of Stamford Street next to the grassy bit.

I have tdr1nka's numbers in case.

6.45pm, usual spot! Bring your navigational skills!

For those of us on the first south-london-mid-week ride, where is the usual spot ????

 

[tdr1nka]

South East side of Blackfriars Bridge.

 

[Tynan]

I suspect I'm first home, wafted home by a sterling tail wind, leaving te others eyeing up seconds in the as much as you can eat veggie curry house or smoking rollies outside

we were six, we wobbled around a few parks and did some appalling traffic down the strand? for the benefit of the out of towners

erm, trindka? Doctor, Landslide, chris? and the chap I chatted to on the train back from brighton fnrttc

all lovely people, I left a fiver for my £4 curry(s) and jumbo tiger beer, thank-you to whoever picked up the difference

decent food for £4 which means I can now take in my planned dinner of pork chops, potato and veg in for my lunch tomorrow

 

[redjedi]

Well I've just got home.

It took a little longer than expected due to not having a bike to ride home on.

After releasing Tynan from the triple lock security. I decided to lock mine back up with my stupid poxy useless little cable lock and The Dooctor locked his back up with a lock not much better.

We went and finished our beers and 10 mins later headed back to where our bikes should have been



Is that over the top

NO!!!!!!



Now I don't have a bike and The Doctor is down a brand new Brompton.

I bet the bastards don't even know how good the bikes they nicked are!!!!

Now I'm going to drown my sorrows.

 

[Radius]

And play polo I did....great fun if not a little painful....and I just got back from styoodent duties (yes, really, at this time), so you should expect not to hear from me til this afternoon
Hope you lot had a good time

 

[Sittingduck]

Really sorry to hear about the bike theft!
I'll keep an eye out for a celeste Bianchi with Liquigas transfers! Not sure which bike the Doctor had nicked....?

Grrrr @ the scum who did this deed

Condolences,
SD

 

[TheDoctor]

'Twas a Brompton M6R. About a month old...
Grrr.

 

[dellzeqq]

That's terrible news.

 

[Sittingduck]

'Twas a Brompton M6R. About a month old...
Grrr.

B*stards!

 

[Tynan]

ah shoot, that's horrid news on the bikes, really horrid

I get palpitations about locking mine on the street and that wasn't the best area but all six bikes with three locks looked fairly secure

I feel a bit guilty now as it was me going a bit early that broke that up into individual locks, and what a pisser for it to happen while you were yards away around the corner, I have to say the area felt rather rough in the few minutes it took me to get sorted and set off

Sooooory

 

[Davywalnuts]

Oh my!! Really feeling for you two on your loss! I wont mutter on here the words thats just came out of my mouth re the **nts that did this!
