Hipsters have beards

The first fixed rider back to ACH HQ incorporating The Stags Head will win a trophy: the ACH SOH FWT to be exact. The last fixed rider to return back to base camp will receive a genuine 1982 NIB Raleigh Burner commemorative mug.

Entered. This will be my first Audax the sound of the food makes it even better.

Do you have any skinny jeans?

To enter the straight outta hackney, you must be sporting a fixed gear bike with ridiculous narrow bars, skinny black jeans, converse trainers or DMs, full beard and your drinks bottle must be full of an overpriced local craft ale from five point brewery

Well that's me out. I have no Converse.

Jonah · « **Reply #33 on:** 27 May, 2014, 10:22:58 am »

You can borrow some of mine. You might also be intersted in a lock-loop for the belt of your skinny jeans? All you gear must be carried in an over-the-shoulder back with cogs zip-tied to the back. Oh and you can't use brakes - it's far preferable to skid stop, wearing out your Vittoria Rando's in the process.

Oh, and if someone should 'cut you up' whilst riding SOH you have to swear at them and place a huge rant on LFGSS from your i-Phone (which is held in a bracket on your shortie bars that are so short that the Oury grips touch your Nitto stem).

Rollapalooser - is that a hipster roller-skating club?

Krad · « **Reply #35 on:** 27 May, 2014, 04:55:23 pm »

On the subject of gear what phone do I have to bring? Which is more hipster Iphone or Nokia?

Jonah · « **Reply #36 on:** 27 May, 2014, 06:30:10 pm »

iPhone - with Rabbit fixed-gear calculator app installed

lisat · « **Reply #37 on:** 27 May, 2014, 07:41:32 pm »

I refuse to succumb to the converse but thanks for the offer.
Will practise the skid stop on the prom down here spraying the half term holidayers with sand.

So I take it you have not set the mudguard rule then?

Why do I keep cocking up my Audax calendar this year?

I can't ride this because I totally forgot that it was on the same day as my Parent's 40th Wedding Anniversary party. Bums.

Schoolboy error there sunshine! Not enough brownie points in the bag to get a pass?

menthel · « **Reply #41 on:** 16 June, 2014, 02:58:16 pm »

I like to think I have been a good son but I don't think anyone could ever have gained enough brownie points to miss this kind of thing!

There is always next year for the audax- at least I have my first ever points on the board after the Ditchling Devil.

Note to self: update your bloody google calendar with these things!

The route check has reminded us of many a lovely country pub. After St. Margret's I would imagine that the more fool-hardy rider could be tempted by upwards of five quaint watering holes before the Ickleton Lion

MCLK · « **Reply #43 on:** 20 June, 2014, 07:22:18 pm »

I've just entered this one. After completing my first fixed SR series, last weekend, I thought it would be rude not to

Will you be wearing your apron Jonah?

Jonah · « **Reply #46 on:** 25 June, 2014, 08:25:19 pm »

OMG

Have you seen the photos?!

marcusjb · « **Reply #47 on:** 25 June, 2014, 08:29:59 pm »

One of your AC Hackney associates was 'kind' enough to place them in a nice safe secret place called facebook.

Looking forward to this ride.

Jonah · « **Reply #48 on:** 25 June, 2014, 08:33:51 pm »

And the barbeque

marcusjb · « **Reply #49 on:** 25 June, 2014, 08:38:05 pm »

Well, the chef is a bit of a looker.
