I will see you chaps later. At a later time as I am now riding in from Knotting Hill.

What finds you in Londons trendy West London - are you going all "A-list" on us?

Is that rain that I can see as I gaze out into the light well from my basement office.....
Thats no fun.

Swains is a bitch in the rain.

Not sure if I is gonna be out. Over east dulwich way but depending what time I am done and you are all still out drinking then I will roll by !

As long as you are back this weekend, I think they will still be drinking.

pint at lunchtime might go down a treat though.

alas not today, I'm washing my hair

Drinks 6ish central ways, thinking maybe the Ship on Wardour st or possibly Bradleys, but not Green Man...

Who's in?

New Ipod nano has a video camera - not sure what the quality is like, but light and small and I bet it is easy enough to attach to things.

Im not sure I can afford to replace any more bits of my bike - so far I have a 100% bike fail rate on the way home from the aforementioned cider purveyory.

Evil....evil I tell you.

Once again a good turn out, and my first bit of newb guiding up from town. Good to meet macca, albeit I dont think we got a chance to chat - no doubt you will be back.

Where? I might get out a bit early as my client isn't coming in today.
dont know

Ill call you when I get there - about 15 mins and see what I can find

Might head town to Traf Sq earlyish - anyone fancy a pre drinks drink nearby?

This is Bromance in action! :)

A man, looking for another man, who's also looking for a man . . . wait hang on!

Fixedback Mountain!?

At Norths we like to ride'em hard cowboy.

Cool. See you at Tfafalgar Sq at 7.00

I will be the man on a bicycle looking for another man on a bicycle.

Excellent - sounds like Spins will be there as well - we will be about from 6.30 ish - heading off at 7.00.

Spins can be identified as he is a man on a bike - in fact it is the same as my bike (does that help?)

i'll either see you at the column or the pub

I will be at the column for the Compass ride north - heading off to the Flask from 7.00.

Lets try and have a bumber turnout. £3 pizza FTW.

I've been wanting to join North drinks for a while so if anyone is going from trafalgar sq that would be great.

Also, Swaines? Prob missing something obvious but thought i'd check.

Dan

I will be at Traf sq at 7.00 if there are any takers for a Norths Compass ride.

Such that you can identify me, I will be a man on a bicycle.

Swaines is a road on the way to the pub. It helps you prepare for your first beer.

It's Tuesday, it's sunny, it's time for North Drinks!

It's also the compass rides so if there are any newbies or lurkers that would like to join us for a beer tonight, there should be seople riding up from Trafalgar Sq.

Volunteers?

If I can make Norths, I will volunteer - will confirm by lunchtime.

Any group I lead will involve mandatory Swaines action.

Jaydeeshanti in Camden whilst on my way to work. Have fun at the festival.

2 't's :p

Oh, that was you. I was really feeling quite ill at that point (maybe the fact I was wobbling along at 3mph gave it away).

I can't skid, BTW. There. I've said it.

I can't spell - teachers used to tell me this at school - my answer was to have such poor handwriting that it was all a bit ambiguous, fortunately spell check has taken care of that theses days.
By way of penance I will go up Muswell Hill today on the way home, instead of over the slightly easiers Ally Pally climb.

BMMF in Muswell Hill at about 11.00 this morning. I shouted do a skid as I drove past, my wife thought I was mad, Scarlet looked unamused.

No doubt you were doing a few laps of the hill.

6.00ish Greenman? no need to hang around too long on a Friday

make sure the sound is turned up

Cycle surgery in West Hampstead machined the fork I bought for my road bike down to the smaller size to fit my Campag headset. It is done with a rather old fashioned looking tool that costs about £500 for some reason.

They did it for free and it took about 3.5 minutes. I gave them a contribution to their beer fund.

Don't want to hijack the thread with my own personal problems...butI have some related headset issues. When I tighten the top race (?) it will be fine for a little bit then start to loosen itself - esp if I go over a few bumps. If I tighten it more then it binds and doesn't want to turn corners.

I have become used to tightening it by hand at the traffic lights, or while moving. I'm sure this isn't right though!

You should be able to tighten the locknut down onto the top race (independant of the tightness of the top race). Also there should be a notched washer between the two.

Are norths on tour at all this week?

Hello chaps. Just finished a lap of Guernsey at exactly 20mph average. Quite pleased with myself. The col de terre is an honest climb but the rest is quite flat.

Back late tonight so won't make drinks.

As you were.

Anyone doing the bridges ride on Saturday night?

Yes - Was thinking of rolling down to the Hyde Park picnic early evening, if people are still about before heading of to Boris's house.

Norths pre-bridges meet?
