18th Nov - Evening park ride


18.11.08
8pm

Start - Admiralty Arch

I'm going on a ride around and through the central parks. Start at Admiralty Arch next to Trafalgar Sq. about 8pm taking in St. James, Hyde Park, Regents Park & Battersea. Maybe stop off at Primrose Hill for the view. Anyone up for coming along / got any suggestions of parks that are worth a visit and will be open? Heading back East so BL bagel stop will be in order.
The weather is looking favorable. Sunny morning to dry out the roads and a clear evening with light winds.

Good idea. I didn't take into account various compass Drinks. And the weather always plays a big part. I just posted on spur of the moment. It would be fun to integrate Tour de France style stuff. King of the mountain, (Primrose Hill), 500m Sprint, (Battersea Park, waterfront) and at TT around Regents Park.

I suppose we should make it regular if enough people want to do it. I'm sure there will be route suggestions.

Tuesday nights in Trixie on the roof in Spitalfields. Wouldn't it be better to have it a different night. You might get a few more people then. I know I'd be up for it on a different night.

POssibly. I was only going for an evening jaunt around town. I hadn't thought about making it permanent. What's Trixie?

That's the thread for it, but I'll fill you in on a brief summary of it!: it's a trick night on the rooftop of a multi-storey car park next to Old Spitalfield Market for people to practice and learn fixed gear tricks and the likes. Plenty of drinking, chatting, listening to music and the likes happens as well. It's a really fun night. It was great for me especially as I am new to both fixed gear and London.

How about a quick, earlier ride and then down to Trixie if people are up for it?

I'm up for a ride before Trix night. Not sure when you guys normally meet in Spitalfields but I can do about 6.30 at Admiralty Archway. Unless the weather is really shit ie pissing with rain, snowing or arctic winds. I'm happy to do the same route as last week around a whole bunch of parks finishing near Spitalfields area.
