Based on feedback from last time, this should give people plenty of time to plan ahead.
More details to follow such as timings and route etc. but put this date in your calendar if you can, it's going to be a biggie!

Got a feeling I'm away then but if not I'll have a bit of this.

I thought they could only be called 'official' if Robbo posted them?

I'm helping DiscoSlim organise it

Eddie Fiola won't be attending but it's looking like it's going to be a good one

I've done it for the last few years now so I don't mind someone else having a go.

you're still very welcome to attend Rob

It's in the diary. What's the plan for the ride John

NORTY40 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 24, 2014, 01:44 PM »

Is it a Saturday John ?

If it is I reckon me and Tony Torkerdude will be up for a bit of Southern hospitality

We will sort something with Ant and Andy be it train or car .

griff · « **Reply #17 on:** November 24, 2014, 04:57 PM »

It is indeed a Saturday - wanted to make sure as many Northern Monkeys as possible get a chance to join us

Given the travelling involved we know Sundays can be a bit tricky

More info will be released soon - 6th June will be a nice long day too so we can pack plenty in

torkerdude180 · « **Reply #18 on:** November 25, 2014, 12:30 PM »

Good stuff jiffy, erm, joffy. Plus maybe 2 more....

griff · « **Reply #19 on:** November 28, 2014, 01:40 PM »

OK peeps - here's the route maps and a bit of info

Familiar route with a couple of tweaks, so we should hopefully have plenty of photo opps for locals and out of towners alike (those of you who have seen Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels will recognise Park St!) It's a nice balance of pedalling and drinking over 9.3 miles and seeing as it's June we'll have a nice long day to do it in

Stu's researching suitable after-ride venues for those staying overnight or late

I've listed the address/postcode for every checkpoint so any stragglers should be able to find us as we make our way along the route - we'll be posting on the Facebook event page as we get to each one so if you're online then you'll know where we are

www.facebook.com/events/1545331839014882/

We're planning to try and raise a bit of charity fundage for Pickle's hospital (St Mark's in London, who are working to eradicate Bowel Cancer) so I've set up a page where people can donate if they feel like it.
Planning to get a bunch of decals done using Julian's ace logo, so if you would like one please make a donation (£2+?) and I'll save you one. If there are any left over on the day they will be first come/first served
https://www.justgiving.com/RADBMXLondon2015

Looking forward to seeing you all there, should be a good one

Looks like a good route. I'll be sneaking off to Brick Lane for a salt beef beigel during the Gun pub stop. Whenever i walk past the Gun, i chuckle as i think of the drunken pest who was swiping drinks. He defo got what he deserved

griff · « **Reply #23 on:** November 29, 2014, 12:42 AM »

That beigel bake place is good, also just a few mins form the Gun is the Truman brewery where you can get a good selection of street food. I'll do some research a bit nearer the time to see what's cooking
