I doubt that I am riding this as well as leading the bridges ride (thread to appear soon), but if I do ride it will be on double arrospok

please at least sort out the saddle angle?

Never! I like it poking up
(tbh that is an old picture, I may have already sorted it. It might even be on drops these days)

What, we have to ride fixed?

What, we have to ride?

Nah, but you do have to bring a bike, so make sure you're booking an XL Uber.

Out

Ha. was going to suggest rolling down with you from fenchurch to the start. But not so sure now

I've never done a GSIAD, so looks like I'll have to do this one. But I'm coming on gears and in full kit. 2 bananas in the pockets, just in case.

In case of what, exactly? You're not planning on drinking banana daquiris are you?

I'm more of a Pina colada type of guy, but you never know, I'll be prepared for anything

We don't all need to get caught in your/the rain.

be great to see you dude. but just know the GSIAD is not as gruelling as the New Oxford Street one

really pissed off that I can't make it! have a good day forumengers

ah Ian be a shame to miss you dude

The reopening of Hammersmith Bridge to cyclists is timed well for the LFGSS Bridges Ride:

"Following that, we will fully re-open the entire span of the bridge for pedestrians, cyclists and scooter riders. We hope to complete this by Spring 2025 at the latest. This means you won't need to dismount from your bicycle."

You can also cross at Barnes Bridge, if you carry you bike up the stairs:

Right, I get it, yes, I need to start a bridges ride thread.

I will do.

Tomorrow

Just wondering if this is absolutely going ahead, or some gathering on Saturday 15? I'd love to be there but live in Belgium now so will see if I can get a Eurostar that isn't extortionate. Just want to be sure that I'm coming for something before pulling the trigger. And I sadly won't have a bike, unless anyone can lend me one, so will be more up for drinks at the end.

Don't tell me: the dog ate your post?

the GSIAD which is what this thread is all about will definitely go ahead. but it is a bike ride taking in various forum pubs.

there should also be a Bridges ride also happening later on that Saturday.

I then believe there will be a gathering somewhere more central.

Be great to get you involved dude. i cannot lend you a bike unfortunately as don't live in London and will be coming in for the fun.

but maybe post up what size you are looking for and lets see if this amazing forum can deliver yet again

I sadly won't have a bike, unless anyone can lend me one

Someone on this thread - https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/401488 - offered to loan me a 56cm bike for the day. Can't find the comment right now, but I won't need it so if that's roughly your size then maybe take a look and hit them up.

I likely have a small bike you could use @gdkhgd

How many miles is one of these approximately? How many miles is a bridges ride?

Euro star is 60 return or cheaper at the mo.
