2012-03-18 - London's Famous Subterranean London

[QUOTE=KT Bee;2753882]If the weather's ok then I reckon we stand outside the Blackfriars.

hallelujah

The list for this This is massive!
Should be a regular event.
We should copyright the term "Duct Tours"

Massive indeed, and slightly daunting. I've been working on the history crib sheets over the last few days, I think I'll disseminate key information beforehand as there's no way you'll all hear one person. Spoke cards are done - I have 32 printed and laminated so far - this has taken ages! Roboto's done a superlative job on the design by the way. I've got another 20 'first batch' cards in reserve if we need more on the day.

oat44 unlike the usual 30% forum list drop out I suspect everyone + more will turn up like the last bike tag ride
you are a hero±!

eek! n o p r e s s u r e t h e n!!

You'll be fine.

you are a hero±!

By the way, this accolade should really be directed to KT Bee more than me, she's done more than anyone to organise this! ;)

adding myself again..

Murts?

weather:
BBC = non commital
Accuweather = not bad
Metcheck = pretty good

snow????

Anyone riding up from South East for this one?

I was misled! No underground riding!

This has a lot of interest, and the number of people riding alone seems like a reason to jump on board, but I'm not sold by the drain cover spotting :p

Tell me subterranean lovers, why would this be a good ride?

weather:
BBC = non commital

Yeah wtf does this mean?

It looks like they didn't know so they just mashed some random symbols together.

Because I just figured out that BBC weather thing and if there's going to be a massive solar flare wiping out everyone on the surface you'll want to come with us and find somewhere underground to survive.

The mouseover message reads 'Thundery Shower'. Ah well, we'll be underground anyway, at least for part of the ride.

So the weather is looking interesting ...

Use your imagination. I could get lost in a book but I'm not actually in the fictional world. I enjoy looking at buildings but I rarely get inside cavity walls.

Really wish I could do this ride.

If anyone wants to continue on to Teddington's Famous Teddington Sports Ground to cheer me on to cup final victory, you'd be very welcome.

So to confirm, its 1pm at the Flask........... and a 3 speed sturmey archer will be ok ? tis a long while since Ive ridden one of these........

Shite, forgot I have training on Sunday. 27 has now been vacated.

...excited now, first forum ride in time y'all.

Is it too late to suggest Brown Hart Gardens as a route addition? It may not fit into the route as we're a bit east or south of it, but it's a London curio and has just popped up in the BToB.
