edited November 2008 in Commuting chat
Given the huge success of the SCR thread, drinks and now social rides who would be interested in a SCR Christmas Party?
Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Open to everyone with a bike or who has ever owned a bike.

    PS. See now your post just looks weird :wink:

    Pfft. Why is everyone going away on holiday. It's not fair.

    I reckon if you're going away somewhere nice, you don't deserve to come to the Christmas party :evil:

    Seems a November date would be more suitable esp. seeing as just about everywhere will be booked pretty soon.

    Next question, what sort of event?

    Food + drinks?
    Drinks only?
