Loved meeting some new people, thanks everyone and go Mark! 
Thanks for guiding Andy.
Slightly sore legs now...80k by the time I was home again 
Okay for the next STW london pootle I suggest 'West to East via South' - Ealing to Woolwhich via the capital ring walk, it maps at 63k so a bit of a biggy. The follow on would be East to West Via North at 59K...and then....I think you can guess what I'm thinking 
I'll start another thread for those though.
Thank you guys for an excellent day!
Sorry for dragging my arse a bit; the treatment this week was a little heavier than I thought, and it was all I could do not to fall asleep in the van when I got back to Richmond... Still, I think everyone was amused by my choice of 'steed'!
Look forward to the next one!
So ... did my ex-fiancee make an appearance?
You were fine Mark! Honest.
c-g? If you mean Rudeboy, yes. it was a good turn out, 13 I think.
New thread now started for ride #2/2010
yeah, cinnamon girl... should have come along. We could have discussed obscure blues rock guitar players 
neil - how did you know that?? Well done for organising, sounded like quite an event!
manitou - come along to the Singletons Ride at Swinley, provided you slot into that category obviously! Are you a geetar player then?
I don't suppose any of you guys mapped it on GPS? I'm really pissed with myself that I missed it and would love to find some decent off-roading places around here, at the minute the closest that I know of is the North Downs, which isn't great when you want to go out for a quick spin.
c-g, you aren't special....he asks everyone, even me 
mmccarthy - I've got the outward leg on gps but forgot to get the return, that was straight down the canal though so easy to map. Right err....how to get it to you though. I've never managed to get the 'send track by email' bit of memory map to do anything! if you can guide me through getting that working I can send it to you though. HOWEVER don't get your hopes up!! it wasn't 'decent off-roading' in a North Downs stylee, it was a fun social ride along quite roads, park and canal paths and the like. email me if you want it.
Neil - you're forgetting the North Shore (although technically I think it was the west shore).
Look at the Crane River Path - that's basically what we rode up, with a jaunt via Feltham Marshalling Yard and Hayes BMX track before heading back to Hanwell to The Fox for Sunday Roast.
aP.......any photos up yet?
Nice one Lesley! You almost make me look fit!
Nice photos. 
Hope you're not too sore today after our little coming together.
good to meet you all, sorry we we're a 'little' late... shall do better next time, I promise thanks to aP for catching up with my wife and I and leading us to the group, you rock
PS: Maxxis Advantages and 38T/16T singlespeed is not a good choice for London Pootles... god I was struggling!
wuss 
I did about the same distance as you on my unicogger.....although with 2.1/1.95 tyres 32:16 and it probably weighs 5 kilos less.....I find a nice light SS a pefect bike for riding around london
I've started a thread for london ride #2/2010, valentine's day.
Just got back from a nice evening in the Pride of Spitalfields. Was wondering about a night pootle in town when the weathers better and the nights are shorter. Where to end up for a sunrise breakfast?
Psy - nice to meet you - I need to mail you some distaff clothing options.
hmm a night time pootle and finish at one of the markets? The boozers round spitalfields probably do some stonking breakfasts, washed down with a pint of porter...could be tempted
that sounds like a wicked idea!
