Few of us do a yearly street ride this time of year.

Meet up there on a Friday evening around 9pm and ride till we are knackered!

Any of you guys up for it?

Normally meet at Southbank by the park because its easy to get to.
We ride anything we see thats ride-able. Finish wise...back at Southbank (where we park)
But there is stations all along the way if you get trains.
We have ridden till the sun comes up before....

Amything! It depends what you like really.

Ive ridden my full boing when doing massive step drops, but it kinda restricts you to that only.
I take my trials bike sometimes, but with the amount of pedaling, its a bit slow. Plus the paint on the forks is flaking, so I suspect they are bending :(

Hardtail Id say purely because I like huge gaps and stuff.

BMX...I guess if you can ride one well it'd be better.
