so i take it this was a "bright idea" you came up with after several beers after Prufrock.

who the hell is gonna swap a paperclip for anything of any value let alone a greater value? or have i completely misunderstood the whole concept?

I have some drain rods I would swap for a paperclip...

fetches spanking paddle

I thought we had something special.

Now feel all cheap and nasty...

Andy, you massive cunt.

(Though to be fair I do have to consciously work out how old I am these days.)
49 x 19 - spin to win.

Wow, as old as Villa-Ru?

And I thought the hills were looking a bit jaded.

No, fixeh skidderz around town is a young mans game and carries serious health risks for any male over 25.

And don't get me started on Laydees without a derailleur.

My name?

Branwen !!!1!

Who is Brian?

Good boys both.

Branwen is a strong rider who came on Gulliver's Travels #2 and Brian is the Kilburn publican who lavished superb hospitality on those who travelled to his pub, on Guinness, Lucky No. 7

Bothwell, how tall are you? I thought you were my height? (then again, I am having issues working out my own height)

Team onesies? Al?

Ah, so that was what Al was wearing under his tank top and PVC jeans...

ahhh, west london, that explains it

"Paging Hippy, paging Hippy..."

Al, the link to the day 1 map is wrong.

As is your shirt.

Here is Al's inspiration for the delightful shirt...

Keep it in the diary folks.

More details to follow.

That sounds like a plan.

"You had me at G..."

Wow! Cadence is ahead of the field already! Please send my love to Elle and Al and baby Prosecco (look, if Chardonnay works as a first name then surely Prosecco does too!). Hope the whole family are doing really well xx

+1. Lovely news.

I'm so excited!can't wait for this! Circumcitions for everyone for free! Muscletuff!

and some tables and chairs for you to knock over ;).. also let the local chief of police know when we have arrived..

I believe he is already organising the speed trap on the finishing straight.

phew.. okay make sure we have a van big enough for a beer run to/from Malmedy, and include me on the driver list.. i'm taking the van for a spin around the SPA circuit.

... only if there is an Austrian camper van for you to ram raid on the way round...

Not the whole case!
And the bottle from villa sandi ??

:(

Only joking. All intact, and perfectly stored at 11oC.

Christ what a palava. It's just some bikes for goodness sakes. Good luck to him I say

+1. What is wrong with the guy making a living?

Seriously though base campion, the gargle, trattoria alla cima, Massimo, the gran fondo route,
f#ck I'd never seen so many vineyards back to back before.. And the gelato, swoon

Bernie still has my stash of gargle.. It all goes in the van for the Ardennes terminator in may..

Ohh, dear...

"Well, there was this thing called Christmas, right. And a few people came around, like, and.. well, you know how it goes...."

I did think about killing you on that hill, I think I made you aware of it at the time with my foul language...

I love that we all got shit faced on prosecco at the restaurant and rode home in the dark with 2 lights between us, a true forum ride - all it needed was someone getting stopped by the police... oh no wait, that happened the next day.

I was released without charge, despite (alleged) excess speed, no shoes and wearning cycling kit in a transit.

At least I was there to take out the restaurant tables, as well as the empties.

Barely.

Oh no, you are so young, you forget to put your clothes on?

"young mannnn...!"

Set off earlier.

Spend more time in primary.

I am sure InR has at the very least, progressed to secondary school...

4 days before I leave England for a month! Win!

Good man. Will send you a sketch for your consideration, oh guru of the Adobe tablet...

oh blimey, im gonna regret this, especially as im doing a whisky tasting eve on sat

.. and laying bricks on Saturday morning?

Dear Guinness Gods,

Please let me actually make this Guinness run and not let previous excess or ill health or plain bad planning prevent my full involvement.

Best wishes, fond regards etc etc

In.

Wow, Batman, that was quick.

Let me correct my earlier oversight with a suitable opening gambit.

"All good things come, to those who wait..."

STOP PRESS; ROUTE DETAILS NOW ADDED...

This time, for probably the last Guiness Ride, we are starting from the home of the Irish in London, county Kilburn.

6:00 - 7:00 pm The Black Lion, 274 Kilburn High Road, London, NW6 2BY

The opening pub was given a brief visit on a previous ride, and we vowed to come back again. Our host is a friend of the forum, and we are sure to receive a warm welcome, with ample bike parking alongside the pub.

I will be looking for someone (Middle of Nowhere?) to use their expert knowledge to lead us cross country to our next destination.

7:30 - 8:30 Filthy McNasty's 68 Anwell Street, London EC1R 1UU

A tricky find (aim for Mount Pleasant sorting office) but a jewel of a pub, and always a favourite, if for no other reason than to demand skids from bemused cyclists heading down hill in front of the boozer.

8:45 - 9:45 O'Neils, 65 Cannon Street, London EC4N 5AA

Aim for Mansion House, and and a lovely pint, and superb meeting area will be waiting for you.

10:00 - 11:00 The Toucan, 19 Carlisle Street, Soho, W1D 3BY

The spiritual home of the Guinness Ride, and a worthy point to finish our adventure.

It is a decent ride from first to second venues, I think about 5 miles, so we will be looking to leave on time. However, a few of us will using smart phones (surely an oxymoron on night like this?) so keep an eye on the thread for precise departure times, and current locations as the evening unravels.

As usual, in honour of 50/14, dont bother with a lock, buddy up with a forum friend, old or new, and celebrate the arrival of spring, after a brutal winter.

And thus, a list;
