Aye was amazing day out, something special about riding around London and all the landmarks with 100+ bmxers, can't thank Dave Racine enough for the escort to Waterloo in the morning then back to Euston.
Had a laugh and plenty of beers consumed. Was great meeting everyone. Need to stay over next year.

A stunning ride and a fabulous day .... One of the best ever to be fair!!
Will be back next year without doubt ... Many thanks to all those who organised this great event!!!
Some fabulous moments, tourist attractions and crack !!!
Great photos too ( mine to follow ) ...
Thanks for starting this one Joff ... It was needed here on :radbmxsmilie: for all us non FBers!
-
Here we go ... More to follow ... Andy DTTDB had a real 'mare ... Seatpost, puncture and crank problems!
-
Great photos Ant. It was a fantastic day out, apart from my seatpost, tyre & crank issues. Thanks to Griff, Clean and another kind radster (forgot to ask your name), who loaned my an allen key outside St Pauls to sort out my crank. A massive thanks to Steve69 for his help, advice and support to sort out my seatpost and puncture. Also a big thanks to the kind radster who stopped to help sort out my puncture by giving me a self adhesive repair patch (the tyre is holding air well!). Also thanks to the other diamond geezer who offered me a new innertube, should I have needed it. To both of you, thanks. I completely forgot to ask your names/rad usernames. If you're reading this, please make yourselves known so I can thank you :4_17_5:

I'll keep 'em coming....

Cracking pics lads - looks a great day out :coolsmiley:

They're all riders Spen! You only live once.

They have to stay in one piece to be riders I generally find Andy...... >:D
(just kidding mate, the Monkey looked great bud)
Every bike on these rides is a credit to the owners - I often look in amazement at Radchester at how awesome some of the bikes are being riden (and wince when Craig chucks them on the floor later after a few beers :shocked: )
Ride them like you stole them :coolsmiley:

I see Lord Joffery of Tottington is also partial to a spot of photobombery :teef:

Sneaky Joffy :surprise:
I also took my Garmin so it recorded the whole route. We cycled 14.9 miles, that included 2 miles to Waterloo from Euston in the morning and the ride back to Euston from the Red Lion at Westminster.
