2007-07-21 - The Bridges III - East to West

This is because I suck and I missed the last one, and I'm missing the next one.

So... how about we just say fuck it, and do another impromptu ride in two days time?

Perhaps not so late, more evening than night, how about bringing along some BBQ stuff and having hot dogs out near Kew Bridge on the riverside path?

Dunno, it's just an idea. I want to ride, and I want to do the bridges, and I can't make the other rides so how about this Saturday?

THE PLANS

Meet outside Ken's House at 9pm.
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ie=UTF8&ll=51.504355,-0.07773&spn=0.003533,0.01104&t=h&z=17&om=1

We ride East to West.

BBQ at Kew Bridge.

Bring some bears for the BBQ.
We'll delegate food purchases on Friday 20th July. You might be obliged to buy some buns, sausages or even a foil/portable BBQ.

So what do you reckon to the bringing a BBQ thing?

With the stuff distributed over a few riders it shouldn't be a problem. Someone could carry two portable foil BBQ things. Someone could carry buns. Someone could carry hot dogs. Someone could carry beer, as could another person or two ;)

I am really really tempted, just trying to sort out the logistics now. There is an informal stag do that I may have to go to, but seeing as I am missing the Dunwich for the actual wedding I think they owe me a ride.

As for the BBQ, interesting idea, should be doable.

The weather looks slightly dodgy but might be OK :-)

Well this one will be quite small I think.

It's very short notice.

Though I'm looking forward to the BBQ :)

How long did it take you guys last time? And it should be faster/smoother with fewer of us so we'll shave a tenth off the time easily I think.

Oh, and what time do people want to head out? 9 or 10pm? Earlier? Later?

I'll keep the first post updated with the plans as we make them up.

Original route. It's easier to organise :) East to West.

Same starting point and end point.

I think we should be able to go faster given the smaller group.

And be at Kew Bridge for around midnight.

Then fire up the BBQ :)

We had a punture and like you say a big group, no puncture and small groupe should be able to knock off close to 45 min - hour with whilst keeping it relaxed.

I'll bring whiskey in a hip flask and coffee in the main flask.

That way we get the best of both worlds, and the possibility of irish coffees.

BBQ at Kew Bridge RPM. All you have to do is ride all of the other bridges to get there.

And it will be dry at the BBQ location, because if it is raining we can do it under the bridge.

Bloody dave-dt-enger has gone and got himself a hangover. What a wus.

Are we still doing the BBQ? If so we need to divvy up who is getting what. Or we can skip it, and see if we can get to Kew Bridge before midnight and order Pizza delivery to my flat around the corner.

Damn, the stag do has become a bit of a three line whip - looks like low turnout is being a problem :-( Possibly I can get away early and catch you up. velocity boy - could you whisper me your phone number?

Hope you guys have a good one, if I don't make it.
