Last bump for this on Sunday. Hope some older U75 crew can make it along.

We'll be there, hopefully with some teens.

I went a fair bit in the mid to late 1990s but haven't for a while. Looking forward to it.

I went nearly every month for a few years from it's inception. I would love to be going this weekend and catch up with some old faces I haven't seen in an age. Alas, I'm starting a week of night shifts tonight.

Really looking forward to this - got my bike fixed (twice)and everything

I may be up for this if i get out of bed in time.

Sorted a bike for this, see you all there tomorrow

 

[spitfire]

Well my bike is ready. Have mounted a big fuck off Bluetooth speaker on the pannier.

I bet I fall over.

Hoping will be there with Mrs Nick, despite bike being embarrassingly dirty.
Is there an Urbs meeting spot?

It’s a lovely morning for a cycle

Nothing arranged yet that I know of. I'll probably head down for around 1.30, I'll use the app to find the main body of the ride and take it from there.

Great turn out, ace music.

Was nice to meet nick and Mrs Nick today. I think I saw TopCat but wasn’t sure enough to say hello.

 

[Winot]

I peeled off after Tower Bridge when it was clearly going east. Great ride, and good to meet nick and Mrs Nick.

 

[spitfire]

I was a bit disappointed with my speaker. It didn’t perform as well as I’d hoped.

 

[TopCat]

Home now. Tired! Great fun. My first!

 

[rich!]

Still in the park listening to the brass band!

Ah no. I left after my pint. Next time!

You were definitely outgunned

Great afternoon. Good to meet both Winot and Spitfire.

Excellent (unofficial / not organised / voluntary) marshalling

Will maybe post some photos once downloaded

I turned up to a gun fight with a knife.

Still was fun at some of the bits when I was between the bigger sounds. Mainly before we got to OKR.
