A beer after work - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

VelocityBoy · 24th April 2007

I'm bored already, it's not even 9am yet!

Anyone going to be around this evening? Could do with a beer post-work.

I'm knocking off around 6pm at Tottenham Court Road, so the Duke is convenient, as is the Snow or anywhere else in the West End.

Hovis Brown · 24th April 2007

Wow. Beer thoughts in the morning. Breakfast of champions. I work right near the Duke, so i'd be up for a drink.

VelocityBoy · 24th April 2007

Fab. See you down there then.

I'll probably get there between 6 and 6.30pm on the Yellow Bob Jackson, or look out for the Claret Red bagaboo bag with Peugeot racing checker design on it.

Momentum · 24th April 2007

I'll be there too with some bars for the bread man. I'll be on a big black bike with yellow tyres and carrying a red and black bag.

salmonchild · 24th April 2007

i might show. i'll be the one with the posse of kierin girls riding behind me

TheBrick(Tommy) · 24th April 2007

What time are you guy going to be there from / to? I may turn up for a quick one. I will be on a white Coppi (geared!).

VelocityBoy · 24th April 2007

I'll stay for a couple at least ;)

Hovis Brown · 24th April 2007

Me too. Half-six/seven?

VelocityBoy · 24th April 2007

That's barely one or two for me! At the earliest, that's when I'll leave.

TheBrick(Tommy) · 24th April 2007

SO people will be arriving at half six seven or leaving at half six seven?

VelocityBoy · 24th April 2007

Yeah ;)

It'll be mayhem.

I'm sure someone will be around.

What time do you think you'll be there?

Hovis Brown · 24th April 2007

i will arrive at five or shortly thereafter and stay until half six or seven.

giddy-up

I'll be there from about 5.30 onwards

TheBrick(Tommy) · 24th April 2007

I will be a 5:30 till 6:00 ish arriver just for a quick drink. Nice drink outside. I will be there on a white geared Coppi, (ohh the ordasity!), with a horn. six foot odd tall geeky looking ginger, grade three crew cut.

mashton · 24th April 2007

I may show up too, my original plan was to go and get some hill climbing practice in for Thursday, but beer sounds tempting. I'll be on a black and white Condor with black and white tyres. (And a blue helmet, do they even allow those in The Duke?)

TheBrick(Tommy) · 24th April 2007

Just checking. Are we on about the Duke of York on Clerkenwell Road

VelocityBoy · 24th April 2007

Check the Places map up top, there's a pin already in the Duke.

100m East of Condor Cycles.

mdja · 24th April 2007

Half tempted to swing by on my way home. If I do turn up I'll be the one with a black moustache (bar, not hair).

GA2G · 4th June 2008

I know this thread is a year old, but I'm absolutely gasping for a beer. Something strong.

Shinscar · 4th June 2008

get over to east drinks ;) always more the merrier!

GA2G · 4th June 2008

Just looking up Lauriston Rd on Google Maps. Doesn't look like a safe area to take my Fifi-TrixiBelle (my bike). You sure I won't get mugged?

whatamidoing · 4th June 2008

I fancy one or two after work to day...

Shinscar · 4th June 2008

no guarantees but we have a dog on hand and some objects and if worse come to worse we flick thieves and send them to the hills

Sainsburys Ed · 4th June 2008

lauriston road is pretty secure, you can bring bike inside fences next where we usually sit plus we usually leave hillbilly standing guard with a bowl of cider for his troubles, untill he decides its time to put in a time on the TT.

we may have to make alternative arrangements this week due to an unfortunate incident involving a very unprofessional hit woman

GA2G · 4th June 2008

We're gonna throw Object at the local hoodies? Does he know about this? Do THEY know about this?

I'm coming for sure. Object through the air.....lands on hoodies. Unmissable.

Whatamidoing? If you're going, what time are you bailing, because you might be the only one I've met already.

I can't get there till 8:20pm. Slave-labour this is.

GA2G · 4th June 2008

brain-flick, you're funny

GA2G · 4th June 2008

Shinscar, I don't have a lock. Who stays till at least 9, that I can use their lock to secure my bike to theirs?

Shinscar · 4th June 2008

if you havent been to easts before we are fully equipped with d locks, chain tools, lock ring tools you name it, we often forget it.

GA2G · 4th June 2008

Nope only been to one westie. Thursdays clashes with Heroes on the beeb, so I've had to miss out a bit. Shinscar, you staying till late-ish?

horatio · 4th June 2008

Shinscar · 4th June 2008

GA2G · 4th June 2008

See you there then. Cheers.

Object · 4th June 2008

WARNING WARNING; Do not trust object. He is hazardous to your health.

GOD · 4th June 2008

It is written in the scripture that Object will be made of carcinogens. Heed my warning!

Wasn't balls busting. 'twas an homage to how hardcore you are. Just didn't really make sense in relation to what GrandeAnse2Grenville asked.

Shinscar · 4th June 2008
