Mass meeting

[Oldhippy]

Out of curiosity and not being a club or organisation type person I was wondering if there has ever been a mass gathering of CC members. It would be interesting I think or not?

Someone wouldn't be able to resist mentioning Brexit and it would quickly turn into a mass debate.

I thought you meant a Sunday Mass . . .

 

[Oldhippy]

Perish the thought. I would catch fire if I went in a magical pixie house!

 

[Drago]

We could call it the Muscle Mass.

Not in my case I make a Twiglet look fat!

I was very ill in 2012/2013 so I didn't do much riding. I was feeling better in 2014 and decided to organise a comeback forum ride - about 40*** CycleChat riders joined me. That was a fun gathering.





*** I never actually did a head count but I remembered 30 at the time and there were several more who I didn't get to speak to, plus a few others who didn't ride.

Wasn't there some meet ups in Cambridge ?

Was there not some kind of "picnic in the park" meeting a few years ago which was well attended?
Only thing being, it was London based, and attended by the now flounced politics board tag team. They may well have been a bunch of pussy cats in real life, but I for one wasn't about to spend a day out of my life finding out .

Edit... This may well have been the Cambridge meet referred to by @biggs682 above. London/Cambridge, it's all the same to us northern savages.

Edit again... I would, on the other hand, be quite interested in attending one of @ColinJ 's ride outs - if I thought for one minute I was fit enough for all those climbs . And it is closer to home.

The CC Ecosse group used to have regular (ish) ride outs, but none recently. I seem to remember organising one myself (3 ferries ride) a few years back. Maybe once we are allowed again....

I've ridden with @ColinJ, Good rides.

We used to regularly get 20+ CCrs on the London Sunday Rides and anything up to 50-60 on the FNRttC rides.

The 'pie-c-nic', in honour of the wonderful character Vernon.

I've only knowingly met 4 other CC'ers, ridden with @Stonechat , bought bikes from @vickster and 2 others.

Periodically @PeteXXX rides over to our village and robs me of my wallet at knifepoint. I guess that counts as a gathering?

An excuse to drink too much and talk bollocks. Great fun.
