England : London Sunday London ride

[martint235]

Whereabouts do you end up on your commute Martin? I hope you are not the official Hyde Park horse manure collector (Wellington Arch Dept.) for the Horseguards. That really would be a busman's holiday!

Nah not that far in thankfully. I work in Waterloo

Don't tell me - you work in the little alleyway that halo and Sig work!

just got back from a long weekend in Spain and I am busting to get on the bike. Looks like I missed a good ride. Who out next Sunday then?

Got absolutely no idea which little alleyway they work in and knowing some of the little alleyways around work, I think I'm better off dying in ignorance!

Can't wait for these rides around Olympics time...we'll be well in the UPS hospitality tent - thanks Clive. (Now, about those celeb. stadium passes...:whistle)

One last silly question, are the bikes left unattended at any stage? Have to remember my lock if they are.

Oh and no laughing at my lock, I know it's a cheap cable lock and I know my bike will probably have to go between two others to be safe but my bike doesn't get left anywhere usually.

Always in sight. We like our hardware too!

Aye. Wasn't there an estimated combined cost somewhere in the region £20,000 a few weeks ago?

 

[Aperitif]

^Dave's probably bought a woven gold thread Rapha saddlebag since then and has bumped it by £1k or so...one pootlemobile was in excess of five thousand beer tokens alone...

Luckily it's not about the bike...

 

[martint235]

Oh dear. My steed won't be adding much to the average nickable value then!

 

[Martok]

Don't worry, my Trek 7200 heavy monster doesn't add much value to the group either. The advantage though is it'll be the last bike to get nicked.
