London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

tomasito · 2 Weeks Ago

Short notice, but...

Em and I are going over to Amsterdam next weekend with our polo bikes and there's a lot of enthusiasm from the Dutch guys to play throw-ins or even a throw-in tourney. Some guys from Eindhoven are going to come up to Amsterdam too.

You can get pretty cheap fares on the Eurolines overnight coach.

Should be a lot of fun, and the court has lights, good surface and is right next to a canal.

Anybody game?

skoota · 2 Weeks Ago

oooh bloody ell yeh, but no, cashstrapula.

Mrlemon · 2 Weeks Ago

^ what he said.

tomasito · 2 Weeks Ago

There'll be plenty more weekend polo trips to Amsterdam if you can't make this one.

Shinscar · 2 Weeks Ago

Id be up for it in the new year.

tomasito · 2 Weeks Ago

What about actually for New Year?

Fruit · 2 Weeks Ago

that is a really nice court especially if they have fixed the parts where the ball can just go under the fencing

Object · 2 Weeks Ago

Throw in Tournament, that swings which bike I'm taking. Awesome work Tom.

Yes.

moog · 2 Weeks Ago

New Year in Holland is crazy, polo and insane amounts of fireworks. Sweet

skoota · 2 Weeks Ago

New year would be tanfastic

Object · 2 Weeks Ago

Coaches travelling from London Victoria on 29/12/09 returning on Sunday 03/01/10 are £65.
BA Flights from Heathrow for the same dates are £130 including bike.

gabes · 2 Weeks Ago

as if object will even be capable of hitting the ball once he's been in the 'dam for 10 minutes.

Object · 2 Weeks Ago

Bitch.

what is that supposed to mean?!

Hmm, is James' boat sea worthy?!

I would love to go but time and money are a problem!

tomasito · 2 Weeks Ago

JB is making his boat seaworthy as we speak, and by next year he'll be able to chug across the channel and right up to the court.

Khornight2 · 2 Weeks Ago

Then on to Paris... Barge/polo tour of Europe!

luisdavis · 2 Weeks Ago

Tom when u getting there ? and when u leaving ?

LD

sol · 2 Weeks Ago

hold on, so are we talking about going to amsterdam for NYE ? Or just in the next year ?
I'm polish, too much internet slang here for my little brain.

luisdavis · 2 Weeks Ago

It says Amsterdam NOV 14th

Agata : lame excuses :-)

tomasito · 2 Weeks Ago

Em and I are going on the 14th.
I'm moving to live there with Biancha in the first week of December.
So New Year's Throw-ins in Amsterdam has also become a possibility...

Object · 2 Weeks Ago

A possiblity which I have expressed a lot of interest in making happen...

sol · 2 Weeks Ago

Is anyone up for this apart from Em and Tom ?

Biancha · 2 Weeks Ago

Come on Agata!

And I can see Ali lurking...engagement throw-ins in Amsterdam perhaps?

Perfect! Let's talk next weekend.

rob.ert_parker · 1 Week Ago

im gonna be around amsterdam at new years if there is a mallet going spare?

gabes · 4 Days Ago

So how was the throw-in tourney?

Object · 4 Days Ago

8 teams in total (Although one team left after 3 games and another had to get a sub as one of their players left).

London had players in the 1st(Apples) & 2nd(Cosmic) teams.
B & Taka came fourth.

JonoMarshall · 4 Days Ago

What's the plan for NY party/tourney in Amsterdam? Sounds interesting...

Object · 4 Days Ago

Buy ticket. Go to amsterdam.
Drink, smoke & play polo. Sleep. Repeat

JonoMarshall · 4 Days Ago

£130 for flight (possibly plus £30 for bike),
£80 for eurobus,
£74 for trains and night boat (plus $14 for bike).
£110 for Eurostar and Brussels to Amsterdam IC train.

Any other options for travel?

sol · 4 Days Ago

is there any plan there for a throw-in tourney on NYE ?

snoops · 4 Days Ago

trains and night boat sounds most fun! (Also cheapest)

JonoMarshall · 4 Days Ago

It's probably the easiest option too, they organise everything for you (time-wise) online and are bike friendly. Door to door seems to be 12 hours though?

Fruit · 4 Days Ago

hoek van holland to amsterdam with a bike in the train is not cheap, or is that allready in the price?

Landslide · 4 Days Ago

Couple of beers + summat to eat + a quick snooze = wake up in Amsterdam

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

JonoMarshall · 4 Days Ago

There is an option for adding a bike on the site.

I assumed the connecting trains (that they book for you) allow bikes as you pay £14 extra for bike carriage? It seems daft for that to solely be a cost for the boat part? Will look into it a bit more...

Object · 4 Days Ago

I found BA flights for £115.

Provided you don't take obscene amounts of stuff on top of your bike you'll be below your baggage allowance

I should point out that my mountain bike with three days worth of stuff and sleeping bag came in at less than the BA allowance.

horatio · 4 Days Ago

You can take the night ferry (done this before). Saves travel time. Travelling that long during the day seems like a waste of precious polo time!

JonoMarshall · 4 Days Ago

Wow, you're right, BA has some cheap seats left.
(If leaving on Friday 1st and back Monday 4th it's £88!)

Em, you've failed to remember that my bike weighs around 115kg, heaviest bike in polo.

Object · 4 Days Ago

My tyres alone are 5.28lb

I wish I could come back on the 4th (Fucking work).

JonoMarshall · 4 Days Ago

Who's in then, I think Ali and I (Ray you in?) are booking this tonight, list time?

I'm doing NYE in London, then the crazy early flight NY's day, polo Saturday/Sunday, back on Monday... sweet.

Djee-Djee · 4 Days Ago

These are the results;

1st; Chris (Aus/A'dam), Jamal(Ehv) and Emily(UK)
2nd; Tom(UK), Tjerk (Utr) and Pieter (Arnhm?)
3rd; Gael(A'dam), Glenn (SA/A'dam) and Bram (Arnhm)

Object · 4 Days Ago

Nice work Jamal.

taka · 4 Days Ago
