East Drinks BBQ in Vic Park instead this week? - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Jacqui · 29th July 2008

Hey all.
After being blown away at Souths by the novel idea of actually eating with my drinking and being faced with the reality that the current East Drinks Staff / Food isn't nearly as good..
I propose that we move East Drinks to LONDON FIELDS this Wednesday and have a little BYOB PICNIC BBQ instead.

Is anyone interested??

Shinscar · 29th July 2008

the weather looks shit hot... great idea! I'll be down after polo!

Lebowski · 29th July 2008

Nice idea. Keep it close to the pub though, so people know where to meet. And there is an offy just down the road, on the corner of lauristan rd and viccy park rd. The second roundabout of the TT, for those who know of such things.

Can we change the first poll option to "let's take over the park, weather permitting... otherwise we stick to the pub"?

I haven't been to any of the drinks before so I'm hoping to join you guys on Wed...

Skully · 29th July 2008

only thing is, jacqui, they close the park at dusk (9 or so)

tika · 29th July 2008

Hi I am new
What about London Fields?

Jacqui · 29th July 2008

I say we make it within view of the pub, for use of toilets and other such practicalities.
If everyone brings 1thing besides what they want to eat /drink it will be easy.

We are going to need:
2 -3 disposable BBQs from Tesco
Sauces
Tomatos
Cheese
Buns
Crisps

Cuppa T and I (as he's stayin at mine) will bring mustard, mayo, some crisps, paper plates, utensils and one of the BBQs and possibly a salad.

ah, well! I am cool with going to london fields and that can't be closed ;) Cat and Mutton and Pub on the Park are close and there's a Tesco just 3 mins away.

EM · 29th July 2008

Sounds great but as skully said it closes early.We could hit the pub at 9.

EM · 29th July 2008

i am up for a bbq in london fields????

jonny · 29th July 2008

not that i do it but what about the TT? if we move to London Fields that is.

tika · 29th July 2008

me too i want to meet other bike people like you!

EM · 29th July 2008

we could do one around london field

Jacqui · 29th July 2008

Jonny, TT around the park? or maybe down and back Broadway market?

Object · 29th July 2008

WIth the new official TT stopwatches!!!

jonny · 29th July 2008

i don't mind ladies. like i say i don't do the TT. but broadway market and london fields are in a whole world of busy-ness compared to the victoria park drag.

all cool. i will be there wherever it may be post polo

My memory isn't fantastic BUT there is a cycle path from Broadway market north through about 2/3 of the park, which you can then go west on another paved path I am fairly sure that there's a third that goes back to Broadway Market.. no idea how long it is, but it could make an excellent little TT

jonny · 29th July 2008

your memory is spot on jacqui.

i guess cos i ride through there all the time (live off London Fields) i am just aware how busy it gets. will probably die down by the time people are buzzed up enough to start TTing mind.

it's all gravy

Object · 29th July 2008

Emily is questioning her own thoughts. Leave her alopne you bully in white pants.

Object · 29th July 2008

Even if we don't do the TT it'll be nice to have a change of scenery and much cheeper rounds. Plus people can arse about on their bikes to their hearts content.

Conan · 29th July 2008

thats a heavily used cycle path, cant see people racing on it without someone getting taken out by a bike or ped!!

I'm with jonny, by the time we are looking to TT, there will be almost no one I bet ;)

Lebowski · 29th July 2008

Hipsters only come out after dark! That path stays well busy till the wee hours.

Jacqui · 29th July 2008

OK..Shit.
I can't actually do this now ;( I have to work tomorrow evening from 6pm.

HAVE A GREAT TIME AT THE PARK, or at the PUB or where ever you end up!

Jacqui · 29th July 2008

Skully · 29th July 2008

haha Jacqui that's a classic!

I do that shit all the time.

jonny · 29th July 2008

jacqui's only gone and done a 'insert name of forumenger who organises things and bails themselves' ;)

Jacqui · 29th July 2008

hahaha it sucks.. but I can't say no to the cash!

31t®um · 29th July 2008

Object · 29th July 2008

I've double booked myself too. Will call when I can come and meet you guys to find out where you've ended up.
