London CC commuters annual curry night

[Becs]

Not every well-meant suggestion is moaning Ian. . . . . Although obviously some suggestions are not so well meant!

 

[Moodyman]

I hope this Mirch Masala has ample bike parking.

Stop being such a whiney b1tch, Spen, even if you are just on a wind-up.

I might try to make it after work, I'll be a super late arrival though.

Whiney?

A venue that is arrange for a London CC commuters meet up and is so far out of the way as to be a near 30 mile ride home afterwards!

It may only be 7 miles from Charing Cross, but not all London CC members live at Charing Cross.

By all means arrange a meet up but don't claim it to be something its not. The location excludes those who do not live in South London

Hmmm, really though?

I know the 'sham is a bit shite but, nonetheless, South London it ain't.

 

[dellzeqq]

goshdarn it - sorry, but we can't make it

 

[Maz]

I think I've eaten at Mirch Masala once before. Nice food. Was staying at a Hotel (Express Holiday Inn?) opposite Colliers Wood underground on that main road. Anyway, nice food.

Y'know what? I think I managed to go north of the river once for a meet up. Yes, I'm sure I did. Once I'd fought off the dragons and other wylde beastes, I went to Brick Lane for a curry.

And there was the other time when I went to Euston.

Oh - and another, when we were up Pentonville Road.

Then the several times we went to Ealing.

And the meets in Liverpool St & Kings Cross...

Of course, I made sure that I whined about all of them before thoroughly enjoying the ride home.

Well the history of the curry nights as far as I remember were for riders who commuted through the CS splodge that went through Tooting. It was for commuters heading in that way and back home. It started out with COG and Origamist but has since grown to include people who don't commute that route.It isn't going to suit everyone-it just isn't possible either date wise or geographical but if it really is too far then maybe next time or arrange one in your patch.

I'm sorry but COG has taken the time on many occasions to organise outings, curry nights, rides and picnics and parties where CC people have met up and had a great time. If this one doesn't suit try next time or sort something instead if giving someone grief for no reason.

6812 km's, I better get on my bike now

Haha! That's the spirit! You'd be more than welcome but I reckon you might be late

 

[clarion]

you got floats on it?

Hmm Brick Lane, Pentonville, Liverpool St & Euston are all Central London.

This venue is many miles from Central London and as such is practically inaccessible for those in other areas of London. Would you call a meet in Romford/ Wembley or similar as a meet for London commuters?

There is a world of difference between Kings Cross and Tooting in terms of accessibility.


I have no problem with the location or the meet - its calling it a meet for London commuters when it is inaccessible to most London commuters

Call it what it is a meet up for those who live in South London

 

[ttcycle]

Yes but I've gone to meet people up towards Parliament Hill/highgate, homerton, stoke newington etc and I live the over side in the SE.

I posted the reason as to why the thread is titled as it is but you're just coming across as a bit of arse now

 

[redjedi]

I work in North London and live out towards Hounslow so I'm no South Londoner, yet I'll be trying to make it.
I'll be riding my bike as it will be such a hassle to get home on public transport afterwards.

Would Brick Lane be more convenient for you? It wouldn't for me, but I would still go along and ride the 20 miles home afterwards.

We could always have a conference curry. A dozen + venues spaced equally around London with live video chat so that nobody is more than 5 miles from home.

..........or you could just make an effort and come along and have a good time (or not be bothered and ignore the thread).

Charing Cross is counted as Central London so for the record Brick Lane is East London and Euston is North London.

I think I've actually made it out to Hertford for a Sunday London Ride before now because someone had taken the trouble to organise one and invite me.

And don't even get me started on London Southend Airport.....
