FNRttC Christmas Ride and Drinks. Thursday 29th December 2011

[Flying Dodo]

I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend this, much as I'd like to.

I've got to pick the cats up from the cattery, so I may get that done, get them settled back in, and arrive at LMNHs for the drinks! (I'll still end up doing 20+ miles, riding to LMNHs and back).

If you end up there, you'll be in the wrong place - see page 1, do not pass Go, do not collect £200.

Hubble.
Was that you, TimO?

 

[slowmotion]

That's great Martin! Just send one here: santa.clausfour@nintendoland.com Your very good elf. Apparently the pub menu is jacket potatoes in a scotch whisky gravy.

Sounds perfect for the more masochistic side of my nature. Will I be tied up with a roll of gaffer tape and forced to listen to this on the juke-box, over and over again ?

Please remember you can get your bikes security marked for free using BikeRegister from 11.30am at Hyde Park Corner and those who fancy a pre ride coffee then please meet at Cafe Nero next to WH Smith inside Victoria Railway Station from 11am.

Doh, that's what comes of jet lag, and letting threads merge in my brain. I knew this one wasn't ending up at LMNHs, but I still managed to put that in the post!

Either way, I'll still have to pick the mogs up!

apropos of almost nothing at all - is Regents Park open on Christmas Day. Blow me if I can find a contact number for Royal Parks on the website...later edit - spoke to Royal Parks and they don't know - but, if they are open, anybody fancy meeting up mid-morning?

Hello! This may help a bit more

http://www.royalparks.org.uk/about/contact.cfm

About us
From January 2011, all The Royal Parks' offices will use a single telephony system. This will improve communications and customer service, and reduce costs. Calls to park offices will now be answered 24 hours a day. Out of office hours, operators will answer queries or escalate issues to a Royal Parks staff member if necessary.
As a result, phone numbers for The Royal Parks have changed. The new numbers are given below and have been updated across this website; however old numbers will still work during 2011. New numbers are easy to identify as they will start with 0300 instead of the more usual 020.
You will still be able to contact us using our previous 0207 or 0208 numbers during 2011. Calls to 0300 numbers cost no more than calls to 01 or 02 numbers and count towards any inclusive minutes. Other users of 0300 numbers include some government departments, executive agencies and registered charities.

any particular reason for Regents Park? Will be heading out at some point during the morning.

 

[redflightuk]

Was thinking about heading into town but not sure of times.

 

[dellzeqq]

I received a telephone call from the Royal Parks, and they are open - so, we'll be there about 11 in the morning. Cycling in an anti-clockwise direction!

I just thought it would be a pretty on Christmas day, with lots of people walking and chatting. The caff will be closed, but we might repair to a hookah bar on Edgware Road for coffee.

 

[tiswas-steve]

I might give this little jolly a bash .. Do I have to e-mail the OP or can I just turn up at HPC ?

 

[ianrauk]

I shall definitely be there and looks like I will be dragging ILB's student arse along with me..

There is an email address to reply to on the last page, but I would think at this late stage,just turn up at HPC. See you there.
