England : London Sunday London ride

[Aperitif]

Agreed Dave - the Central London 'Park and Ride' could well be a CycleChat 'picnic' (no rum) tour. If we had traversed the Heath and Bishops Avenue etc - it would have delivered us to HP at about midday - ready for all the CC wenches to have fixed lunch

Good company - and when I shift myself, I'll post some more pics.
I was sorely tempted to have a raffle today - I thought there might have been a few more.
A bottle of Nosegay was first prize.

Lord Luke an' I with our guard of honour - the magic of self-timer!

Image concealed so as not to offend - the shadow did it!

Prince Andrew joined us for the ride and he mentioned that he was fed up riding old bikes and was looking for something new...

It was a toss-up who was moving quicker. The Falun Gong devotee - or Clive!

McP***s - sorry Clive - I completely forgot!

Clive and the Tattooed Beat Messiah.

Andy, and Luke; warm.

Trafalgar Square excelled itself with a bottle shaped tarpaulin on the 'spare' plinth.

Parliament Square - I went for a scout around...

Taking the Mickey? Moi? Never...

The London Junior Rugby League Clubs

I found my nose at Trafalgar Square!

Roy Rogers afficionado proclaiming why we like Jesus. 'Christ'.

jam central in Oxford St. Big fire in a pub apparently...

Mmmmm! Regulo 3 for a few hours...perfectly baked!

Oh! I forgot the heffalumps!

About 110kms+ on a beautiful day - long may we have them.

Any thoughts on a Sat AM or Monday AM ride?

If you want to do another section of the Park and Ride - the bit that takes in Hampsted Heath etc, that's a possibility - more or less the same time frame, might involve a crash (I'm wearing shin pads), enabling Clive to get back for his Cow and Gate pureed veg by the required time.
Or a visit somewhere interesting? (Not inc. a McP*ss, or loitering with intent at the bogs in HP)

Anyone who reads this and lives within reach of Hyde Park Corner. We will be at Wellington Arch - just look out for a CycleChat jersey or two and people gossiping.
Rides are not epics (necessarily) and enable time to enjoy the day after we have acted selfishly in sitting on a pedal powered device for a while. Anyone is welcome - for the fun of 'it'. Come along.
Or should the meet point be changed to the Hyde Park conveniences?

What time you going to be at HPCorner?

 

[ianrauk]

About 9.30 Zimzum..

 

[topcat1]

9.30 ha ha, at about 9.50 you'll see a blur of cc riders going up grosvenor place heading for the johns' along the serpentine

3 hour blast to southend today, the nano is fettle free

is it 8.30 at the dt?



anyone heard from ttcycle or sig?

 

[Aperitif]

Yep, Dave. I'll see you on the wrong side of the one-way system!
Big CC jersey call tomorrow? Or maybe we should set up a rival called WC.

 

[ianrauk]

8.30 Dave,,
