Part 29 : Camden Bike Ride

The friday before this beautiful sunny day biking along the canal from hanger lane to Camden was spent drinking at the pub with a few of Iax's close mates. It was the football final between Manchester United and Barcelona. One of the girls yelled at me because I cheered when Barcelona scored the winning goal. She looked at me and said "What! why are you cheering, who are you going for?" I replied with "Barcelona! of course". She then looked back at me with a shocked dirty look on her face and said "Thats not very English of you", "no sh!t sherlock I replied. I'm Aussie". Ahh English people and their love of football. A button to push every time. Later we all moved along to a new club of some sort called The Supper Club.

The day was spent biking around and checking out the Camden markets, eating dodgy food from a stall, all that kind of jazz. We decided to get a quick beer at the local pub there. The one near the little archway thing if you know Camden. While sitting down having a quiet beer (English people also drink alot of beer!!!!) we meet to rocker guys from the north who have moved down to London. I convince them that they should team up with Iax and do a track together/have a massive party night, which ever turns out the best. That 1 beer turned into a few with the boys and then later a few more with some lovely polish and scandinavian chicks. By midnight we were staggering back to where we had locked the bikes up.

During the day we had locked the bikes up at a close facility in Regents park, a close walk to Camden and near to the canal entrance. This location however at midnight isnt really that convenient. We ended up starting out wrong to begin with. The bikes just werent that far away. And then by the time our drunken souls had orientated ourselves via the revolutionary iphone/google maps and we knew where we had to go, the battery on the phone died. Not only were we really drunk but we were semi lost in regents park ad with no phone or lights. One thing I'm guessing alot of people dont know is that the park locks up all these little gates at night time and there are not that many lights in the park. The park is also massive.

We eventually found the bikes and had a drunken ride home getting there a good 2 hours after we left. heheheh great times.
