I may well join you - not too much of a detour on way home. Always up for long weekend rides as well, when I can find the time - I'll watch this space for details...0

Bring Tim along for security. He's met a few of us forumites before so he'll be fine.Hat + Beard0 -

I think Google Maps have maps. If you look for the Prince Albert, in Deptford. You'll need to open up your Internets first though :twisted:

oh I'm more than happy walking through Deptford and New Cross on my own!! (D-lock in hand!) Tim may join us...he works late on Thursdays.0 -
hatbeard wrote:ahh that's on my street that is (it's a long street).
Your street is like a personalised number plate. I bet you're disappointed that the A1 had already been taken.
I'm very tempted to join you, if I may, especially as the pub's practically in Deptford.0 -

I can meet you by your development and you can protect me with with your D-lock as we run the Broadway gauntlet.0 -
DM - you'd better join us....think you might be the closest BR member to the pub....unless anyone else puts in a claim!0
-
Everyone knows the A1 is played out, the A2 is where it's really at
you should definitely come along DM. I'd say it's firmly in deptford territory being only 100m or so away from the high street.Hat + Beard0 -

thanks DM...probably safest if I just run to the pub, rather than one of us hang about on the corner of the big cross roads!! safety in numbers may be wise at the end of the night though when things are a little fuzzy
Questions:
1. does the pub do food?
2. what time are we meeting?0 -
I'll be there between 6.30 -> 6.45
it does food and from what I remember it's of the gastropub variety but I cannot comment on it's quality.Hat + Beard0 -
I'm SE too and would be up for drinks.
There are nice pubs in Greenwich too though along the river etc..0 -
Jesus, just realised that place is what used to be the Paradise Club in New Cross - an interesting venue. I'm sure its improved since the refurb...0
-
Hey guys if you don't mind me crashing the venue I'd be up for a drink...not long been in London and not met up with any cyclists ! see you guys there . John0

Yes, the pub's gone through a few reinventions but the current owners have done a good job on it - pretty good food, wide selection of beers and comfy saloon-style seating. In short, nothing like the Paradise Club!0 -
turnerjohn are you commuting yet? if so what's your route and what do you ride it on? there's a lot of us out and about during rush hour so odd's are you'll cross paths sooner or later (unless it's dhope as he never seems to see anyone )Hat + Beard0

Thurs is karate night so unless I bunk off, I wouldn't be there before 21:00 - what time do they do food 'til? Danger of crashing otherwise :?1997 Gary Fisher Big Sur

Well, I never see anyone off here: but that might be because I don't know what you all look like . . . does anyone go Old Kent Road way? I go from HG via Lewisham RAB and then Westminster Bridge before the schlep up to Park Royal.0 -

I used to go along the OKR, but not since I moved. However, I'm almost certainly going to be returning to the OKR soon as the routes I've tried so far have been awful for commuting.
Don't you set off at some ungodly hour of the morning, though? That might be why you don't see anyone off here.0 -
Wow, I popped out to the gym for a while and this thread has taken on a life of its own! So Thu 10th at the Prince Albert in Deptford from 6.30pm? I won't be there til about 7ish but you lot can settle in somewhere! Hopefully some of you will be wearing cycling kit or I won't know who to talk to....
I ride on the OKR sometimes, that's my fast route into work, if I'm running late. If I want a slight detour I go through Surrey Quays and past Bermondsey Tube, or sometimes even up through Denmark Hill and round through E&C....Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -

Scenic? Then you're going too slow 8)0 -
When you're not having to put in as much effort as some others you can still take time to sit back and admire your surroundings while all around you are decimated :PHat + Beard0

Sounds good - ditto about sevenish. . .0 -
Well seeing as I live not to far from there I would be up to meet a few fellow commuters. If you will have me along? Just a thought, but it is not the best place to leave/lock bikes up along that road. So bring heavy duty kit.FCN 8.0

I'm sure if you buy this handsome chap a pint he'll point you in the direction of the cyclists...
