Paul, oh mile-eating monster vaseline perve, I loved your patience staying
with us.....but, yes, we were irresistable.

And we did it.

And twas a great ride.....so many angles to it. And such good
company....disorganised nonsense.

100% of 1% of Southwark Cyclists finished it. 50% of 2% of Greenwich
Cyclists did. (I'm in GC mode, always an outsider).

Most boringly repeated quote of the ride: "Can't see a bloody
thing...where's the road?". (ed: Barry of the LEDs).

Best Dunwich quote: Graham 3.30am......"what's the back-up plan Barry?".

Best Lea's (massage my neck I'm tired) BBQ quote (bigfoot George, who else,
to newcomer Jonathan asking for a soft drink) "You're not gonna last long
with Southwark Cyclists".

Dumbest (but I love it) crack of the weekend......as the tough old waitress
brought out Michael's cod and shouted "Wolf"....

..."No. Cod".

Best omission of the weekend: Phil Loy didn't pack a pump....and of course
punctured. Lambeth. Be nice to them.

Best quote of the weekend...from Sarah "It wasn't the 120 miles over night,
it wasn't watching you fools swim in the sea, it wasn't the fishnchips lunch
or the pub after, it wasn't the many beers at Gabriels Wharf when we got
back to London....it was the take away lagers after the awful kebab at 10pm
that finished me off". F's omitted. I mean expletives.

Barry's favourite bike quote to date: somewhere in deepest rural California
circa 1994......blue rinse matron to Barry....."how many miles a day do you
do on that thang?"........."Oh, we did 80 miles today, 100 yesterday,
averaging 60........". "Hey, that's nothing, we've done 600 in a day in the
winnebago".

Next year: Saturday 7 July 2001. Full moon again. Breakfast at the Ship Inn
will be amazing.

And of course, once we've packed them onto the coach, we cycle back to
London. Natch.
Bring your swimmie, it washes it all away, you're off to a new start. Clean
slate. Fresh bum.



Barry
(who was wetting himself a week (bladder) ago because the coach was going to
lose him �200....last minute.comers meant that it made a surplus of �50. I
gave hero Patrick Field �25 on the bus - he got James ticket - and Greenwich
Cyclists the rest).
(repeatable vaseline memory.....gentile Marathon volunteer stood under Tower
Bridge 1998 with huge tub of said grease......male and female runners
leaping up to her, scooping, and gleefully lubeing rubbing rude bits. She
couldn't look).
(and excuse me, Paul The Hill......con merchant....The Hill was in fact
directed by Sidney Lumet 1965 with Sean Connery unbonding for a
bit....prisoners made to clamber up and down a manmade hill in the North
African heat. Dunwich Dynamite comparisons cannot be made). (Except to us
that did it......between ourselves. Like tigers on vaseline).

sock it to ziggie

Hi.

Thanks for a cracking good time on the dynamo.

Does anyone else see flashing L.E.D`s when they shut their eyes still
or is this a subliminal message i am receiving from the other side.

Sarah the numb fingers takes your mind off the chaffing and talking
of which you should have sat in a jar of Vaseline or Sudacream before
the ride.It is a bit messy but what a feeling after 116 miles.Those
toffees are a good reminder of the top notch catering we received.

Barry nice to see your enthusiasm for next year but surprised you
have not suggested there and back as an option.

I hear you are doing training rides for next year and i am sure Graham
will be the first to enrole!.....................Only joking.

Thanks Lea for the B.B.Q monday night.

Regards
Paul (The Hill).

Dear Lea

Yes, I am a member of the egroup list and I do get the newsletter.
It's just that I can't attend most of the things due to the tyranny
of the shift system I work.  I also wondered if I need an
introduction or if I could just turn up?

Hi Neil

Thanks for your email.  Where did you get our email address from by the way?
   Was it the newsletter? This has all the details about our rides and how to
join LCC and Southwark Cyclists and get involved in campaigning.

If you send me your address I'll send you a copy.

I'm a reformed racing cyclist turned bike commuter (Peckham - West Acton) and I'm wondering if there are any local weekend rides/activities I can get involved in? I'd also like to do a bit if I can to further the cause of cycle transport in the city.

For the attention of Peter Latarche, Chair of Cyclists Touring Club

(please copy to Kevin Mayne and Barbara Collins)

CTC LONDON

I received your undated letter to CTC members in London this morning, Saturday 15 July. You invite me to a meeting on 22 July to "discuss and progress the formation of CTC London".

This is of course an important initiative with lots of potential. A couple of years ago the bodged attempt to force a CTC/London Cycling Campaign merger was quite rightly slung out by LCC members.

Time passes. LCC still seems unable to find its way and has forgotten what its last initial stands for. The golden opportunity to relaunch itself after the failed coup has been wasted. LCC's local groups are increasingly doing it for themselves, or not at all.

I welcome the CTC London initiative and hope that "The National Association devoted to the protection of cyclists' interests and recreational cycling" can be broadened to include us biked commuters - particularly the car-less and post-car ones. Broad church indeed.

LCC needs competition if it is to survive and turn its gaze up and out to its members.

But, and this really is crap, to give us one week's notice of such a seminal meeting, and to hold it on a Saturday in the middle of the riding, music festival and holiday season is simply not sensible or efficient in terms of best outreach and democracy. I'd love to have gone to the meeting, but can't. I'm leading a ride. And besides, who wants to spend a summer Saturday indoors?

Two months notice of an evening meeting would be much more appropriate - and that would help to ensure that the bridge you write about building is constructed by more than the usual suspects already in the loop. Your bridge would then be a lot less wobbly.

Best wishes then. Please keep me posted.

A personal view from.....

Barry Mason

Dunwich Dynamo tonite. Staying in this afternoon.

Lee...my comment that asks Paul to bring 120 sleeping bags was a joke.
Sorry.

The ride sweepers are on bikes, not in a van. They'll be helping punctures
etc and taking down signs and lights. They won't have room for other
people's stuff.

Bring your own bag if you want to kip on the beach, but that's a luxury if
you don't want to travel light.

Paul

Saturday 8.30pm by the Pub-on-the-Park, Martello St, London E8.

(I'm meeting a couple of friends by the Cutty Sark foot tunnel, Greenwich at 7pm. Leaving for Hackney about 7.20pm......join us if that's handy).

Dunwich beach is shown on the OS map under the National Trust bit. Fairly typical Suffolk undercliff sandy beach, bit short on palm trees and coral.

I will swim.

Take some light snacks....maybe a sandwich, bananas, chocate raisins or wotever. And water. No shops but one village hall about 50 miles out is open all night for tea, coffee and cakes. Lots of pubs open until 11pm of course, but you know what alcohol does to those leg muscles. Don't do it. (Oh...one of the treats of the ride is the linear unfolding of the Saturday night dress up, go out, turn the music up and then stagger home through rural Essex/Suffolk.......tiny clubs turnout to see dozens of bikers.....).

The National Trust cafe at the end should open at 6am for breakfast etc. We hope.

Great if you could bring about 160 duvets, pillows and sleeping mats. I think Blacks sell quite light ones........

Give me a call if anything else occurs.

Check www.londonschoolofcycling.co.uk/dunwich.html.

Gonna be a lovely dry clear starry warm night with a gentle westerly breeze pushing us there.........and a great sunrise. For some of us the second in less than a month.

Lovely warm coach back with coffee etc and loo and smelly snoozy passengers.

W: 020 8921 5075

Hey all

After the July meeting (17th) I will be having a barbeque at my place
(depending on the weather) and everyone is welcome.  I will be providing a
fair amount of veggie food, but if you want meat or something in particular
you can bring it.  Just bring some booze (there's an offie round the corner
or Sainsbury's on Dog Kennel Hill).

From your arts correspondant....

Watched the queue of 400 line in to Tate Modern at 10am, Nick Serota shaking hands and staff clapping us in....sunny day.

Once inside I nearly cried......you have to see it. It's staggering and works on every level: art, building, landscaping, chutzpah......Take the lift to the top, 7th, floor and marvel at London's finest view.....there are lovely little reading places all the way down with the view and some open balconies.

The size, the art, the shere guts of doing it.......if that doesn't move this country into the late C20th nothing will.

The Mark Gerlter that grabbed Southwak Cyclists logo is on level 5, west gallery.

Beautiful sheltered, camerad, lit, swiss bike parking for 32x2 right by the main entrance. Ace bike parking for staff too. I bumped into Peter Wilson, Director of Buildings and Galleries, who said if the racks fill up, they'll provide more. He's a keen cyclist. Good recruiting ground for Southwark Cyclists.

When I left there were 24 bikes on the racks and probably 2,000 people in there.

The building can hold 18,000 visitors...........and most of it is free.

Before it opened met lucky Dusselldorfer who asked "what's happnin man?"......nice holiday event.

What is it about the Evenoing Standard....got interviewed on way out.

London. World city. Love it.

Dear All

I have booked myself in for the training tomorrow, although I won't be able
to stay for much of the afternoon session.  I'm going for the 'Reaching the
wider community' in the morning and 'Lobbying and the media' in the
afternoon.  I will pick up hand-outs for both.

Is anyone else going?  I would have liked to go to the Globetrotters
tomorrow, but it goes on too late.

Lea

Write to him nicely..........please take down your fucking sign or take it
down at 12 noon on Monday 1 May. Or words to that effect. Copy letter to
papers, radio, tv. Tell him. And then tell Urbancyclist etc etc.

That'll freak them. 1 May is Trade Union Day at the Dome. They need that
good publicity....and RTS and others are planning some surprise there.

Whilst leafletting yesterday morning and trying to stop the hypothermia
taking over I was watching cardrivers.........about 1 in 20 was on the
phone. And all the coach passengers had their heads at odd angles, mouths
open and foam on their nipples.

Who is ML anyway?

love and lashes

I thinking of calling Martin Lindley in commissioning to let him know that
the sign on the brick layers arms roundabout, exit onto the old kent road
saying "for Millennium Dome travel info call 1740 on your mobile" is coming
down to be replaced with one saying "drivers - pull over and stop before
using your mobile phones". Only question is whether it happens quietly by
his hand over the next couple of weeks or whether it happens as a
well-publicised direct action.

Thoughts, anyone?
Cheers, Sim

OK.

Could Mark please put the Press Release bit on the LCC website and tell Paula?

Could James please run off loads for Tuesday nights magazine stuffing?

Could Chris and Paul set their alarm clocks early on 4 April (anyone else?).

Could James also forward this to his Maritime Museum biker?

I think its all there if not very inspired. I wish I had some typo/layout/dtp skills........

Works then?

Congrats Lea......Star. When do we get the handlebar webcam? (I'd love to
have a headmounted camera for a week and then prosecute all those
badparking, closepassing, mobilephoning, junctioncharging,paperreading,
foulexhausting drivers).

Who's on the list then?

Any GLA debate helpers...we can get in from 4pm onwards if,
like me, you want to get there early straight from work, go shopping, then
change
all in loadsa time. So domestic.

(Well, I started work for Greenwich at Woolwich Town Hall on 6 December and,
after judicious pressure, today they at last  installed a huge shower
cabinet in a unisex loo, the sheffield racks arrive Monday, and 8 lockers
follow. Mine goes in my office. They're converting a really good but wasted
ratty bin space space into a covered bike shed. (And have overspent
the �2000 budget by �1500....not my doing.....usual end of FY
panic.........just get a bill in fast.....).

Still can't decide about Andy/Carolyns party next Saturday.......shall we do
a ride up there or not?

(Irrelevant work mode: did you know that Greenwich pays 34,000 individual
water bills a
year?!!! Has 10,000 suppliers and 105,000 accounts for them?
Should be 1,000 and 1,000. Or that Audit produced a 10 page report
after some poor soul forgot to pick up a receipt for a packet of meeting
biscuits. Or, as I saw today when I pulled up on the commute to look, that
the blownup OS map display in the old Greenwich Tourist Info Office predates
the Dome. No Dome. In a Greenwich Town Centre display? Laugh or cry?).


Next weeks Rotherhithe social calendar (ed: diary of an obsessive):

Tonite: working at home
Saturday: leafletting
Sunday: Eltham Palace ride
Monday.....chores
Stuffing at LCC Tuesday night
GLA meet Wednesday
Greenwich LCC meet at LCC Thursday
Friday Critical Mass....my first since NYE
Saturday: Andys?
