... I made my scepticism public ;)

no it's because u 2 idiots will be there!

Erotica = Lots of fat old men taking pictures of rubber clad girls . . . (apparently!) ;)

Also, read it as encouragement! Drinks on all four compass points!

Dogs, I thought we were all cunts, not idiots. I get confused easily.

Flask is pump but it has the bike parking space, good beers, food, rich old women and if anyones going to steal your wheels you can walk down West Hill and scrape them up from the road getting your bike back.
As well as tons of good pubs the mighty North has got two good TT options:

"that shit's fucked up"
- Drop down Highgate West Hill Hard Left on Oakshott Ave then up Swains lane

South Grove Sprint
- South grove past pond square, up highgate high st and left on the Grove


Real men will take the swains lane sprint there. For those over cook it you can drop down to Archway or Hornsey to save your legs. and the Wrestlers/Bogaloo are there for later drinkers.

Having said all that i can't make this week as i am out...

lol. yeah me and my trap.
I have arranged to meet a mate tomorrow night. Not 100% but might turn up and challenge people to laps of west hill / swains lane. If not, this should be a regular thing

I might pop along, but am thinking its a tad too far north to have a large turnout, and before you start saying shit it's not the hills, i live further north than all of you :p

That sounds about right, you met my boss then? Yeah am looking foward to the rubber clad women bit. Actually I am middle aged but not fat.

I'm not middle aged bt I am fat! ;)

Any turn out is better than none.

Laps of West Hill and Swains Lane is gonna be so great to watch, WATCH i emphasise

I vote for the Old Bull and Bush, Northend Road, Golders Green NW3 7HE - www.thebullandbush.co.uk - loads of outside space - and the glory of getting there uphill

What day?

7.30 Tomorrow night at the Flask in Highgate.

Nah - have a date with my Mrs ;0)

i think I am saving myself for the brighton run... so might not pop by... next week may be

hey guys.. I just want to point out that Friday is the John snow. I am interested in Norths but not this week, sorry I need rest for the weekend ride.

Shame on you Davy ! You were one of the primary instigators of this North Beers mullarkey, second post if I remember correctly?

Oh god, we're clashing!!

should make it tuesday instead of friday....

Make it Tuesday at the Old Bull and Bush!

Flask is lovely too, though

Tuesday is Central drinks
Flask is good to get it off the ground. it's just off zone 2 which is the same distance as East, South and West.
If its too challanging (end of the drinking week, legs shot etc) we can drop into Tufnell park/Holloway area as you got bars like the landseer which has good outdoor space

Tuesday at the Bull and Bush would be better for me too but don't want to undo whats already been agreed.

people all going to trix with dicks on tuesday anyway.... and last week almost no one showed up at central... and central have john snow on friday....

If we meet up tomorrow then another venue can be arainged if the flask is too out of the way.

dudes, set a day and a pub, and stick to it, the north beers is a late comer so will have to figure out where it sits naturally in the social order of forum drinks.
just to remind the latecomers
mon: south beers
tues: central beers/ trixie chics/ trixie dicks
wed: east beers/ polo somewhere
thurs: west beers
fri: john snow drinks/ critical mass one friday a month
sun: polo out east

What we need is an eighth day of the week. We could slot it in btwn Friday and Saturday. Fixday I suggest calling it, then we could have a three day weekend. Who's up for it?

Best Guinness in London (well...used to be)

North Drinks - The Flask 8pm Friday* Featuring The TT of Death

Quick change the title before the doomforumongers tags become true...



* except for every last friday of the month when a more central venue will be sought post critical Mass, unless those hard-as-hipsters don't want to attend critical mass then an alternative pub can be discussed on a forum until we are driven to drink. an alternative to the alternative pub is to stay at the flask until this is deemed to dangerous, under participated or receives a strong challenge from another central drinks at which point a new post will be posted.

Cornelius is bang on. We are the last to arrange Beers in our area so we just pick a day and stick to it. London is a huge place with an ever increasing number of fixed riders, if it turns out to be a good night at the Flask people will come along. I'm sure one of the worlds major cities can stand two Beers on the same night in different geographical areas. If it can't then North Beers will die a death because its surplus to requirements.

Even better title:

North Drinks - The Flask 8pm Friday followed by Drinks at the Boogaloo untill late followed by drinking all night with a TT down to Oval for the start of London to Brighton.

Not realistic?

cheekos kicks ass over boogaloo
