Urban Cycle (walk) along the Lea Valley towards Ware Sat 30th May

[ska invita]

It's the theme tune that swung it for me .

eta: in your head all day now for sure

i dont know the tune, but instead ive filled it in with the ET theme instead!

i guess its a little bit like black beauty theme, maybe thats why...

Entice her with the prospect of cream tea at Philpott's Tea Rooms:

It's lovely, although the lady can be a bit grumpy (I mean the lady who serves the tea, not your little 'un).

She's so grumpy the cream turns sour, the bells in Waltham Abbey begin to peal, and the surrounding cemetery shimmers with the cowering undead. But she's got a nice side to her too. And the tea's nice.

Good job you're coming to Clapton then .

 

[braindancer]

Sorry guys - my partner is now definitely working tomorrow so I'll have the kids. One of 'em would probably be up for it as she takes after me and loves riding bikes, but the other one point blank refuses to go anywhere near her bike so it's not gonna work .

 

[Artaxerxes]

Pissing down today, the one day of the year I think "wow, lovely weather, lets leave coat at home and on way back for dentists I won't be carrying a pile of shite with me and be to hot"

Fuck you weather, fuck you, you won't fool me again!

 

[alsoknownas]

Saturday rain seems confined to the evening at the mo. That little window of decent weather is sitting up for us at present.

 

[8115]

It's stopped raining!

 

[han]

Woohoo!
I've decided to go on the racer. More likely to get a puncture, but easier to fix if I get one. Is that logical?!

it might be a tiny bit puddley tommorow in places... id go on anything but the racer myself

It's fairly logical, but I fancy that at this rate you'll have changed your mind by tomorrow morning (probably settled on a unicycle I imagine). Especially when I add to Ska's concerns - I reckon you'll want the hybrid for any muddy sections - there's only a few, but you really wouldn't want to be doing them on a racer (or a unicycle ).

 

[gaijingirl]

It's been a pretty unlucky time for unicyclists in East London recently - take the hybrid.

 

[mango5]

It'll definitely be an unlucky time for unicyclists if I spot any on the towpath tomorrow

You're not putting han off. . What time are the brixton crew setting off?

"no arrests have been made"

 

[pinkmonkey]

Y'all have a really good day, we will be pressure washing our engine, do give us a wave!

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

is anybody around who can help me plan my to and from journey to the meet up points? I know nothing about trains and bikes and need some help as I'm knackered and can't face all the googling

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Or does anybody know what the best/nearest train station is at the end to get back to Liverpool street? Hertford East looks like the simplest (straight hour train to Liverpool St) but does anybody know the area? can we easily get to the station from the pub?
Losing the will to live right now...
