  • Feeder ride to Greenwich from Kings x @hairnetnic? I have lurgy but not missing this!

  • Locks: probably depending on personal preference. Bikes can be left our of sight of the main road but outdoors. I'll bring a chain lock...

    Feeder from Kings X at 1:15 for a prompt run down Jamaica road... Meet outside McDonalds South side of Euston Road... Can take it easy for those under the weather.

  • Awesome, much appreciated haha.

  • Hi - are there likely to be any spare places? I'm guessing not. Does sound a great ride.

    Thanks

  • The attendance number is accurate . Click attending if you want the last place.

  • OK, so the weather is closing in on tomorrow, at the moment it looks reasonable for a ride but with some big gusts. I will make a call on weather later today around 5pm.

  • I have to drop out of this :( Bloody HMRC and sodding upstairs neighbours who don't give me my mail when it's put through the wrong letterbox.

  • Sorry to bail so late, I won't be able to make it now

  • The weather is not looking good for observing due to the high winds for tomorrow, and therefore observing is at about 30% likelyhood.

    The weather for the ride looks ok, but if it gets much worse I'll make a call at lunchtime tomorrow.

  • last minute bedwetting, sorry guys i'm out

  • I has bad back and a touch of flu. Will make a call tomorrow but this looks unlikely. I'm still good for the fiver, of course.

  • I have been given antibiotics from the docs today for a chest infection. I am currently drinking some HTFU w(h)ine and seeing how I feel in the morning. I am good for the dollar dollar bills.

  • Low likelihood of observing is veering me off course for this, sorry. Will see if weather gets better tomorrow but otherwise i'll bail. Let me know how to get you that fiver though

  • That's cool. Though I would remind riders that it is a curated ride and there are some interesting stops along the way.

  • How are the observing conditions looking?

  • Weather looks bogging!

  • Out. End of days weather in Highbury right now!

  • apocalypse has arrived. Still half-hoping it'll blow over in a couple of hours.

  • RIDE CANCELLED

    Sorry guys but this weather is no good for observing, and looks pretty rough for riding in.

    I'll see about a new date in a couple of weeks...

    nb. This won't cost anyone anything.

  • Thanks for the heads up - so sorry you had to cancel.

  • Doh, sorry the ride is off, but understandable reasons, pub?

  • Here.

    (!)

  • Yes, have proposed the same! Fitzy somewhere perhaps, unless anybody else about Greenwich?

    Just gonna grab a tea with Lord General Wolfe!

  • Ok, tea time over and it's getting cold, off home... till next time!

  • was unable to post via the mobile phone, but here is a pic of a cold and windy tea with the General, :-)
