On the second Sunday of the month, every month, we'd have a social ride.
It would be nothing too fast or too furious. Just meet up a pre-designated central London location, ride a loop of the centre of town, and then head over to the Bike Polo for bagels and to watch the mayhem down there.
The purpose of this is to provide a nice and regular social ride for new riders to be welcomed or introduced to riding with just one gear, to act as a forum for swapping trades and stuff, and just a general get-together.
And the first ride will be on Sunday September 9th, and then every second Sunday of the month after that at a regular meeting place and following a regular route.
In winter, when Polo isn't on we'd change the destination to be another pub, but in the summer it would be the polo courts.
[EDIT]
START LOCATION:
The Greyhound pub on Kensington Sq, off High St Kensington (side road opposite Zara, Top Shop, down the side of the Barkers building). Pub Info @ Beerintheevening Google Map
END LOCATION:
Bike Polo @ the court on the edge of Brick Lane and Shacklewell Street. Google Map
ROUTE:
Proposed route is:
[li]Kensington High St[/li]
[li]Hyde Park[/li]
[li]Hyde Park Corner[/li]
[li]Constitution Hill[/li]
[li]The Mall[/li]
[li]Trafalgar Square[/li]
[li]The Strand[/li]
[li]A weave through the city via St Pauls
So this is the idea;
