By popular demand, Audax Club Hackney LTotMD will be held at The Pride of Spitalfields, Hackney, for the 2nd month in a row.  Join us on the 30-Jul-2015 after work for the perfect PBP warm-up.  ESB at 3.50 a pint and plenty of free cycle storage and piggy scratchings, then ride-a-kebab-home through the moonlit city streets.

This month sees the unveiling of the all new Audax Club Hackney jersey sample (with many refined features such as: buttoned pump pocket (for those LD riders that ride club rides as well), reinforced triple-pocket seams, stash pocket, and... wait for it... detachable arm warmers!).  Come and check the Rapha, but made in the UK, quality and place your order.

I posted it whilst I was just stumbling out of the final club of the evening, having spent the night snorting nose candy off the claspers of a shark whilst bearded men dressed in space blanket nappies and stag antlers performed an interpretive dance routine inspired by the triple food queuing system at Brest.

I sometimes go for one in the Cock after work - it's just in front of the office at the Hackney Service Centre behind the Hackney Town Hall and next to the Hackney Empire.  The pub has a micro-brewery down below which brews 'Howling Hops' ale which is then pumped directly up-top.  The last time I went for one in the cock I ended up opting for a few in the Cock instead - I counted upwards of 18-ales on tap - Ice Cream Ale, Gamma Ray, 2 or 3 types of IPA, Pale Ales... it's fcuking ace!  There is also a plethora of pickled eggs in a cornucopia of flavours.  The bar staff have really long beards but that doesn't seem to stop them from serving  you pork scratchings.

[It's 'an hiatus' surely?  Especially before a word beginning with a vowel
Ask the Boss please Ivy and do report back...

The Boss says "H is not a vowel. Sometimes however it is unaspirated, in which case if it is followed by a vowel you would use 'an'", 'owever I ain't dropping any haitches.

I'll unaspirate you in a minute...

Hello folks
Thanks to all who devoted so much of their 'last Thursday of the month' towards drinking ales and eating chorizo and prune sausage rolls.  Great to see some new faces as well as the usual miserable old ones.  ;) miserable old one T'was another top night with a more than commendable attendance.  A big thank you also to Kingston Wheelers Finest Audax writer and publisher The Right Honourable Laid Back Rich for his good cheer and signed copies of his coveted book.

Here's looking forward to the next top night in another Hackney boozer.  Please remember that all are invited; just bring enough locks; great big shiny ones

As always, anyone and everyone are welcome.  If you've been thinking about joining ACH or are alreday in a club an like th eidea of drinking related cycle chat to while away the miserable weather, there's always lots of cheer to be had in Hackney's finest watering holes.  Then ride a kebab home and spend Friday staring out of the window at work - th eperfect prepartioin for the weekend!

Will try to swing by for one and to pick up my ACH cap as this is on my commute.

Also, I wanted to ask the ACH crew if there are any plans - or interest in planning - an AC Hackney LEL team or two? Would certainly be up for this.

We certainly do have plans to get as large a rangale of ACH over the finnish line - The Mighty Bristols pipped us at the post on PBP but I'm confident that we'll give those Wurzle slackers a run for their money this time round; this is proper British Cycling afterall  ;)

PS We always arrive at Last Thursday of the Month Drinks - if you lare lucky enough to work locally and knock off early you'll normally catch a few of us proping up the bar whenever you arrive

Annother Top night folks - very pleasing turnout too, despite the biting cold.  Next time I'm going to wear some thicker socks.

The Vedet Extra White Beer provided the perfect foundation for a a brief 'n' brisque stop off at Chicken Ways on the return journey to Castle ACH HQ Inc. The Stag's Head.  I'd like to call it 'Cock au Biere' but I am prevented from doing so becuase of the first rule of Audax Club Hackney being 'Never talk about, write about or photograph food.'

Hello Folks
this month's ale-frenzy will be held at The Shakspeare on Shakespear Walk, Stoke Newington, Hacknety and no, we haven't spelt the Shakspeare's incorrectly - the typos celebrate the writers blatant disregard for spelling - he spelt his name in 7 different ways you know?!  We digress.  Come along and teather your iron horse to the borough's largest iron railings, sample the many flavoursome ales, gaup at the spartan victorian decor, marvel at the best duke box this side of Nagasaki and then join in with the crapping on about bikes...

See you in the Shaky  ;)

PS I think you'll find that Hummers' glasses start to steam-up after the 9th pint.

The last time I saw him he was out cold in a room full of men, prone on a li-lo wearing a super-hero eye mask; a bit like like the first time I saw him but without the li-lo

We sort Gadges lock out last night he was lucky that he could get the lock cut and I passed on the way home.  ;D Just need to get Brad his lock back.

Hello folks.  After last months swell turnout it's time to prepare the kidneys for this months' instalment.

ACH October Fest will be held at 'The Alma' in Newington Green, Hackney of course. This smashing watering hole has recently had a revamp.  I've researched and the test results were positive.

Come and join us.  Again, you don't need to be in ACH to join in the fun but it does help.

For the second time ever ACH 'last Thursday of the month' drinks is heading south of the river, this time to the renowned hostelry of the Dog and Bell, Deptford, SE8 3JD. Likely topics of conversation to include Easter Arrows and Borders of Belgium, as always prospective and non-members welcome.

As a bonus, now appears to coincide with their Burns Night offering:

ACH's last Thursday of the month drinks

The Kings Arms (as featured in The London Craft Beer Guide and Garrett & Evans (2018)
11a Buckfast St
Bethnal Green
That London
E2 6EY

www.thekingsarmspub.com

Tucked behind the vibrant but grimy Bethnal Green Road you won't find any city suits or yuppy families at this bar. Even the thick-rimmed goggles of the beer geeks seem equally out of place at first. Where most pubs nail their craft colours to the mast, The Kings arms hides them well. The long line of taps are unmarked; most punters walk straight past the rarities fridge on the way to the loo and the beer list on the wall looks more like a church hymn board.
But underneath its disguises, this pub takes beer very seriously indeed. If there's an exciting tap takeover happening in London, most bets would be it happening here.

Hello everyone

It's almost the end of August, so time for last Thursday of the month drinks 🍻 I'm guessing there'll be a lot of chatter about PBP.

This month's pub of choice is The Greenwich Union on Royal Hill, SE10 8RT. It's a Meantime Brewing pub, but they also have other stuff in bottles.

It's less than a 10 minute walk from Greenwich DLR / main line station and similar distance from the Greenwich foot tunnel.

http://www.greenwichunion.com/

Unfortunately I have to be away for family stuff but ⁨Brad⁩ will be looking after you (assuming he's woken up after PBP😅).
