London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

OK, I was talking to Cornelius the other day about the changing of the seasons and the wearing of gloves, and that lead us to reminisce on last years little mini South Beers Pub Crawl...

And it was such fun that we thought we'd repeat it again. Details of the last one are here:

http://www.londonfgss.com/thread9974.html

Hopefully we can tie it into some sort of Compass Drinks meet up to encourage the people who cycle past the Coach and Horses and don't stop, to come and join us, and also to drag out the forum people who lurk, smirk and never post.

So come out and join us for a pint / babycham / orange juice and lemonade. Its a social ride, with some different choices of pubs this time. Not fast, not too slow and no one will be left behind.

Drinkees from other bits of London are especially welcome.

Our only problem is with the date: Options so far are:

a) Friday the 30th October
b) Friday the 6th November

We've tried to make sure there's no overlap with diaried forum events, but as with most things, we can't please everyone, although there's rumours abound that Corny has tried.

PUBS

A few new additions this year, plus scope for a nomination of a middle pub along the route. Corny and I talked about the one in Cleaver Square for some potential TT / Tramp Beers / Smokage, but we're not sure whether they're that open to 20+ people descending en masse into their little enclave of A Year in Provence style nitery.

So far, we've come up with the plan of:

Meeting Point - 6.00 onwards, leaving at 7pm 251 Tooley Street SE1 2JX

1. The Kings Arms (SE Beers original location)
2. A Pub In Kennington - TBC - The Doghouse perhaps? Or nominate another.
3. The Hermit's Cave - Camberwell - slush puppy cider hmm.
4. The Mansion - Gypsy Hill
5. The Commercial - Herne Hill, cos I want a pint of Paulaner
6. The Effra Hotel - Brixton - the jazz will be on and hopping by then.
7. The Coach and Horses - later license and the spiritual home


So, as with all things here, a list:

1.) Snowy - all dates are fine.

6th is now free

Just to show how utterly 'full of win' this is, the thread has passed throught the wormhole unscathed.

(convoluted bumps-r-us)

Mini bump again, as it's getting closer.

I thought this thread would be lost in the depths of time...

Well I posted up but have disappeared.

Not wanting to upset the routing at this late stage, but I noticed today that the Fox on the Hill, on Denmark Hill, is running a beer festival at the moment to celebrate their 30th anniversary. £1.69 a pint.

Just putting it out there.

The Fox on the Hill is an awful pub, you can't argue with those prices tho'... Longtime fan, let's do it... ;]
Massive garden too...

So it's this Friday people, get your drinking caps and make sure your legs are ready to go!
Looking forward to this, hopefully it won't be too chilly for the last couple of pubs.
