There's no doubting he's built of strong stuff Ali    He's funny though 

[cheeta]

Aye was amazing day out, something special about riding around London and all the landmarks with 100+ bmxers, can't thank Dave Racine enough for the escort  to Waterloo in the morning then back to Euston.

Had a laugh and plenty of beers consumed. Was great meeting everyone. Need to stay over next year.

At Euston waiting for Dave

First beer stop


Lock stock and two smoking barrels, highlight of the day for me stopping here


Almost as nice as Blackpool tower


Ready to cross Tower Bridge in a group



Dickins Inn




ET


St Pauls (a bike fell and it took about 10 bikes with it, fell like dominos  )






Tafalgar Squar was shut for Indoneisa Day  Didnt stop a few of us getting a pic near the fountain, fook um' travelled too far not get a pic









Big Ben last stop before the final pub, said our goodbyes and headed back to Euston past Cenotaph and Downing Street


Fell off but heading back to Euston station, managed to stay on my feet, I blame the beer, stupid raised kerb

Doggett's Coat and Badge some stunning bikes where on show, I counted about 90 bikes

Joff sacrificed himself at Trafalgar to let people through, he was soon tackled by a female security guard haha



Norty and Torkerdude it was a epic day out, from the morning  leaving Wigan to getting home. Glad I got an invite 

Few more pics took some screencaptures off the gopro vids

[factory pilot]

Here we go ... More to follow ... Andy DTTDB had a real 'mare ... Seatpost, puncture and crank problems!

[dancetothedrummersbeat]

Great photos Ant. It was a fantastic day out, apart from my seatpost, tyre & crank issues. Thanks to Griff, Clean and another kind radster (forgot to ask your name), who loaned my an allen key outside St Pauls to sort out my crank.  A massive thanks to Steve69 for his help, advice and support to sort out my seatpost and puncture. Also a big thanks to the kind radster who stopped to help sort out my puncture by giving me a self adhesive repair patch (the tyre is holding air well!). Also thanks to the other diamond geezer who offered me a new innertube, should I have needed it. To both of you, thanks. I completely forgot to ask your names/rad usernames. If you're reading this, please make yourselves known so I can thank you

Cracking pics lads - looks a great day out

2 things spring to mind looking at them - was that Rich Clean in the shots I see, and when will Andy DTTDB learn that show bikes are show bikes, riders are riders
