chimpanzyyyy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yeah i think its quite cheap by ferry even with a car, especially if there was a few of you. We got the ferry over with a van to kennys comp and it worked out reasonably cheap. i know eurostar is a bit steep!would be easier if you came over with a car then you wouldnt need to worry about further travel arrangements upon arrival in the uk, you could just drive to the location of the ride or whateverthanks mateI have to find someone with a car now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walker Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 what would be the best plan if you drive? i.e congestion charge and parkingwhen it comes to london, i dont have a bloody clue as i am a hillbilly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Could be cool.About me and my mate in London, we're 2 old hip hop/rave/house heads who've never grown up! My mate has never heard of Trials,but still lives and breathes House. (DJ, decks, mixes etc.) I'll PM you if your interested and I'll make some sort of plan?middleageman.Sounds good mate!PM me and we'll sort it out closer to the time what would be the best plan if you drive? i.e congestion charge and parkingwhen it comes to london, i dont have a bloody clue as i am a hillbilly...Park on the outskirts and get the train in. We normally park in Croydon and get the train to central London - I'm sure other people will have better ideas though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Mike, M.A.M, i'd love to meet you both, so expect to recieve some loving from someone on a blue Leeson 609.As for the great hoardes of people riding, everyone always splits up after about 30minutes, so usually you have a bunch of people such as myself, Simp, Cristoff etc mainly pissing about and not riding much, the inch-pinching crew going sideways, all the street dudes session-ing things and spending a fair bit of time around southbank, the pros being awesome, and the younger lot going round dragging their brakes.Whatever happens, it will be one of the best rides you've ever been on. Fact. Edited January 30, 2009 by Marvin the Martian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 what would be the best plan if you drive? i.e congestion charge and parking/when it comes to london, i dont have a bloody clue as i am a hillbilly...No congestion charge on a Sunday! But as stated parking is f**king stupidly expensive, no exp. but I'm guessing £15 for the day, some people do know some pretty sweet places to park so wait for them to post up so usually you have a bunch of people such as myself, Simp, Cristoff etc mainly pissing about and not riding muchhahaha all too true! We usually tour London via, Subways, McDonalds and offlicences to get full up and boozed and I don't know why but I can never ride well in big groups, and when i do it genrally ends up with me flat on my ass and many people laughing AT not with me lolUnfortunatly I forgot but I'm supposed to be celebrating my gf's 18th on this Sunday but I'll attend, meet and greet, shit myself, not ride, and head back at 4ish so I get 5 hours of not riding in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I might possibly go.I wonder how much it would cost in petrol to go there and back?Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackMeek Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I might possibly go.I wonder how much it would cost in petrol to go there and back?Lol.Im not sure but there might be a deal on most trains that if you go with three people and buy the ticket on card all together that it is a group weekend ticket. one person goes free. Reading to london is definitely doing it. I was up at notts last week if that is were your from. 60mph not that much divide people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Ergh, I'm contemplating going. I'm hardly riding lately, so I'll be an utter drip. Never rode london before, so if I can get my arse into gear i'll make it down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Will be worth going to even if your riding isn't up to usual standard i reckon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 The strength is there, then again so is the weight. I've just lost a shed load of confidence, but I'm gonna try get my arse there. Might ride somewhere the day before to "warm up" ahem.

NVWOCI WVS Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 You missed yourself off the list!What's the biggest number of people to ever turn up to a forum ride? I'm guessing it's the DJ rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is any french or Belgium riders that are thinking of coming give forum member (medhi) known as chimpanzy lift/help/advice.When I say Irish trials massive, you should understand that there are only about 5/6 trials riders in Ireland that I know of, there maybe more but I haven't found them. I'll definately be along and I'll try drag as many of them along as I can.Post or pm me a link to your Facef**k page?
