A nice Sunday London bimble with Trickedem , Mark Grant , topcat1 and rb58 .
76 miles in total on a lovely cold but sunny day. Taking in a few laps of Hyde Park, The Olympic Park with brunch at the magnificent View Tube and coffee at Fat Boys in Trinity Wharf.

2 Ti's. 2 Fixies and a Gawd Knows what ..

Bikes and Guards

I met this lovely lady Harris Hawk close to home.

A bonus of this ride was a cup of tea supplied by the very lovely ttcycle, as I dropped in unannounced.

It really was fantastic riding today. The company, the food, the weather and dry roads. What more would you want?

So, peeps, if you want a Sunday London morning bimble with some other Cycle Chatters. You will find us at Hyde Park Corner at about 9.30am on the second Sunday of the month.
You would be more then to join us.

Sounds like a great day. Pale blue bike looks interesting.

Looks like a bit of stuff cut from the arch of a suburban shopping mall, with a couple of wheels added. Must be Mark Grant's - he's crazy.
Amended. It belongs to 'Postman Cat'? Ye gods! Did you order that after a night on the St Vincent's, Dave?

It's a shame we missed you and it would seem only by minutes, thank you for waiting as long as you did.

@Martok and I had a lovely ride into HPC then onto Look Mum No Hands for snacks and multiple coffees. He'd not been on the bike for close to 18 months but his innate ability to make every traffic light change to red is still very much apparent! I daren't count the lights between London and Watford as we only got through a handful on green!

It's a Vanhulstein.

Ah! A bike made after shome beersh and shome shmokes.....

 

[topcat1]

Yes first ride on the Cyclone, it's heavier than the Mercian but rides like an old steel bike.

Still sorting the front gear cable and need some bar tape.

Nice ride, shame we didn't meet Andy and Abs, Tims first SLR and he was fixed, nice.

Forgive me for not reading too far back (my notifications for this topic auto timed out ages ago it seems), but has it settled into the second Sunday of each month now? Fancy
