A few weekends back the we went on a sunday afternoon jaunt across London to the Hackney marsh. Its often said the its the journey that makes the trip, and yea, the marsh was wild and muddy but was pretty much just a big park.

We started at our local playground which has the green moon humps you may have seen the poster boy riding before, and a disused area that looks like an abandoned play center . It has a nice ply bank setup that i wan to add to for some bmx fun time and a asphalt corner(ish) tranny thing. The only problem with this place is that you have to jump a fence that threatens to tear you a new one every time you climb over.


These photos have been some time coming. Mark has been working on this bike for some time and finally let me take a photo of it in full weekend style. He says it is done and has a few other bikes in the works.


While hanging out in this spot found a sweet Adventure style stash, full of crap and the odd treasure.
There are a few more photos of this and the rest of the ride here.


These crazy things are the Homerton Humps. Lots of fun to ride with the central lump being quite steep.

We rode through the marsh, laughed at the strange pairings of golf players, took a muddy detour, backtracked, and found ourselves passing this island. Its ruled by crows with an evil temper and a strength to math.

After a pint at the mildly dodge pub we headed back for a game of park style table tennis in the fading light. Sounds romantic but with 4 lads it was nothing but tall cans and serious game time.

nice three wheeler.
damn poster boys got a sweet ride.
bro, do your profiles slip? explain
yeah it was a bit of a mish to get them right, you need a extra crank bolt with the taper on the inside to use as your chainring bolt, file out the bolt hole a little so the taper sits snug and crank it up really tight. I also got the spindle machined down 5mm each end to narrow them down so my pedals dont clip around corners as much, they still need a tighten everynow and again. I got some old campy ones going on soon anyway.
