England : London Sunday London ride

[defy-one]

First time out on a Sunday London ride since the start of the year and it was great fun. Very good too see everyone again and meet Paul who has given me some serious bike envy !

A very relaxing ride around parts of London that only a Sunday London ride can take you (with the human GPS User10571).

Hope to see you all again once I am back from my little trip !

No it's in Trinity Wharf on the Thames @ Leamouth

Jay pick a sunday just not a fnrttc week, we'll be glad to give you the tour (you might even end up on the telly )

I got the Athertons mixed up with Martyn Ashton my bad
Athertons are downhill dudes
Ashton leaps tall buildings in a single bound and rides road bikes on rocky cliffs

tallMartin hasn't met topcat2 so doesn't belive he exists

Yep it's only been 2 years!

A typical London 'nobber' - plenty of those around on a SLR - particularly on Commander J's sublime routes along the riverside!

What the situation this weekend, anything going on?

What the situation this weekend, anything going on?

It's a FNRttC weekend so not much usually happens on the following Sunday.
But a few peeps like not doing the ride so maybe.

Put out a call, get to HPC and see who turns up?

 

[User10571]

Maybeeee....
Thing is, I'll only drag any incumbents out east......

That's you off the christmas card list, so disapointing
Im probably not the right person to do a call at this point as with my knowledge of London at this time, it would be less than a interesting or enjoyable experience.
I've checked with wiggle and they are out of 'User10571' which would mean my only option would be to use my Garmin 800 which simply does not offer the same level of mapping London from my limited experience. It's simply not the same thing.
I would get lost, its also nice to see parts of town I rarely or have never seen..
