Now that's what makes me proud to be a Geordie!

Polo courts under 3 metres of water and you boys are still preparing for a game.

Rep to all of you.

Yep polo was a lot of fun despite the partial flooding.

Probs just be meeting at monument again if people are up for a ride. Either 7 or earlier if everyone can as its getting dark.

Thought polo was quality for a first proper attempt. Def time to make up a begged, stolen or borrowed beater though for some no holds barred action. I can prob make 6:30 tomorrow at a push. Gonna be pissing down of course...

No sign of pete either, maybe we should postpone although I'm ready to go if your bike's ready Phil. Just a thought to be kind to the other members of the forum, maybe we should transfer this thread to the Newcastle group so everyone else doesn't have to read our organising chatter...

Michael go to recyk'y bike some time, get a cheap frame and bits. Just finished my polo bike and its surprisingly good.

If were playing polo in central park tomoro does everyone know where it is?

If not I can meet anyone at regent centre or elsewhere.

I'm a newcastle lad originally but made the move to London 10 years ago. I'm often back in the North East and it would be great to hook up for a cycle and general mess about on the bikes. I've no idea about any decent spots though.......My family home is Whitley Bay - saw the new skate spot on the Promenande, but no fixies present!

I'm on for tonight, can meet at the Gosforth courts.

TBC, give us a shout if you're ever up - there's a few of us. Tend to ride around town.

god knows where everyone else is - surely they haven't got anything better to do with their lives... got someone at work to cut up a load of 2" alu tube and feel like a bit of a dick now because it's a lot heavier than I was expecting. still, worth giving it a go.
