I'm just waiting for Deptford's gentrification to accelerate. Yes, there are bars and cafes opening but its still a really nice cultural blend.

When the Deptford Project opened they banged on about providing services for the community but for the life of me can't understand why they think the average SE8er reads the Times (thats where they advertise their events). Can't help but think locals don't want to pay £10 for a fryup in a train carriage either. (Lovely fryup though it is).

Terry the discount store owner next door to the Deptford Project has never been invited to one of their events. He laughs about it being called a community project which is nice. Would be easy to be grumpy about it.

Don't get me wrong, I go to the new bars and restaurants and I'm glad that I have them in my area but its still sad when the community you know, love and grew up in starts filling up with tossers who at least on the surface appear to be concerned more about what they're wearing than helping a neighbour out.

EDIT: As long as the Albany Centre is still going, there will be a genuine community centre in the area.

Dan, you are genuinely the nicest guy I have ever met, all the best to you my friend!

Ah Xander, you need my number, well could've done this... shit!

So possibly for vfm: cycle/run/get yourself a balance board & use this whilst training with dumbbells - you'll be Laird Hamilton fit in no time

Local B&Q or other favoured DIY store, 4'x2' sheet of ply wood, cut into eggish shape, add thickest/shortest pvc pipe = balance board for about £7.50. Does legs (to begin with), core and improves balance. Have 2 at home, saves on indo boards. (Get really sick and you can kick flip it)

HoP 7/4/11
Spin Cycle

Thursdays,1830hrs for 1845 departure at the Gloucester Gate traffic lights. Heading anti-clockwise.
20mph+ average, but if you can't hold on, worry not! Form your own little train for light relief. Lap times are between 7:00 and 8:00, with a possible slow lap/rolling rest after the first 4. Stop after 8 laps/22 miles. Or earlier, if you're a slacker (you know who you are). A little bit of a rest, then off to the Edinboro Castle for some refreshments (calorie recovery through chips and beer). Or the Flask, if you can face the hill. The chips are better and cheaper.

Dont forget your diet, ChainBreaker mail orders spartan babys for breakfast, lunch and dinner and look at him. (his forearm is bigger than my biceps, or lack thereof)

I find you have to enjoy the feeling of getting fitter, not pay more to get more out. Try free weights and push/press/sit ups at home and get on more bike rides, if you want to put mass on don't forget you need something to turn into muscle.

I think the reason I'm so boringly scrawny is because I don't eat very well, very infrequent and alot of shite.

Get that sorted and you'll probably be more motivated and get more out of your current regime.

Or the baby thing?

real men sport tan lines.

pretty sure Xander and Ian are in too?

She's gone out riding TRIX Dan! I'm feeling pretty good, wish I had more than 5 hours sleep though. I am tired.

CB's obvious crush aside was a good night, learnt some things about some people (you know who you are) and Xander bailed on Chicken, I'm ashamed...

dibs wearing the brown surface jacket this week.

Sorry boss, proper threw that one out by not checking here!

Love the Lahndahn banter!

dibs wearing the black one! for you lucky attendees i may have some of my homemade salted chocolate chip cookies left, that is if i dont eat them all at work today!

Xander you are a baking gem!

/tuesdaynightcookieclub

See you all about 6.30... gotta walk... work thing :(

Love you Ian, Xander you are spac, nothing we can do about it though so we love you too!

Massive thanks to skully and skive for this one, real fun ride, apologies to the guys who thought I'd fuck up the WHOLE day after bethnal green road incident (stack)

Sorry Rowan about the Argos, was such a beauty too! I'm sure some welding and gentle riding will get it back into shape! Fingers crossed anyway!

To all, thank you and goodnight!

EDIT: P.S. 63 miles is a long ass way to carry a cake....

I've officially gone clipless, can someone just promise me that every time we stop someone shouts "JIM UNCLIP" or I will be nursing some skin injurys come monday morning... Thanking you in advance, much love x

THey probably are the same who think all young people are violent dyslexic vandals getting 5 A*'s at a level while on the dole

You can't get A*'s at A level... RLJ!

Ha! This will only mean something to those in attendance last night but...

I just took my 48T chainring off and put a 42T on. Skidding is now a piece of piss and I seem better at my attempts to trackstand. I guess it makes sense. I'm doing a lot of miles at the moment and perhaps my legs are too tired midweek to push the ratio I had fixed.

I'm going to stick to 42x16 until I get the techniques nailed before moving back up.

I've gone from only being able to do pissy little hoppy skids to nice long steady ones tonight. Goodbye tyres! Now for trackstanding practice. My cat is not amused.

Surface is for winners, male winners only.

For Alex there is these;

p.s. Be track standing like this fool

Half way through work, absolutely hanging

Maybe in. fully persuaded at beers to come.

Fixed

Waking up this morning has not been a pleasant experience... 6 pints, no food, bike ride, school night... I am going to be in bed by 8pm tonight!

Good night tonight boys, it appears I'm home early! Alex I'm sorry for cycling like a 'tard, it's how I role, and it would appear I'm rather drunk! Fun down bethnal green road though, black cab chucked me into a curb, ace. Still home safe and sound! Hope all are okay!

I'm not so sure, save the trampys, we'll do it when the sun is actually out! See you in about 20 minutes!

Go TESCO, 8 special beers £2.44, got some in my fridge, 4.8%, tastes alright, bargain!

Xander, how long you staying for? Should I bring more than a fiver? If it's not raining we'll probably be outside

can meet you 6.10pm on the dot for some swiftage?
