Christmas Lights Ride 2016

Weather and work permitting this might be a good excuse to trek down to London for a day. Not been down there on a bike in a while.

Ah man I would try and put it back but I have to put the Wee Baby Seamus to bed and then head back out. The only consolation I can offer is that the slightly later start means it won't be quite as afterwork traffic-y.

If it were me and I had a few hours to kill I would head to one of the wonderful Wetherspoons in the area (save for the Masque Haunt which is a shithole) for a pre-winter warmer or two.

keen.

hoping to join pending dad duties.

I'm going to have to miss this, works do that night so free bar trumps cold possibly wet ride.

I did a mini London Lights ride on the way home from Wests the other week and they did look nice so I'm sure you'll all have a lovely time. Well done YAL for sorting.

In with the hip flask!

Anyone else from west London considering this?

I have thrown my cap in.

Maybe meet up, west-central, before heading over to LMNH?

No idea where I'll be beforehand though.

But up for cycling back Westwards with you afterwards.

Be good to see/speak with you again.

I will be using The Uxbridge Road to gain access to London's Famous London,
so
Acton/Ealing/Shepherds Bush/Notting Hill/Marble Arch are all on my prospective route,
but,
willing to meet wherever anybody else suggests.
(There will still be medlars).

just found this https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/139419/
the first 3 London Lights rides were limited to 50. @pajamas would have a secret start point to ward off gate crashers.
Finsbury Ave. Sq. was always my favourite bit - sometimes known as Tron Sq.

In, if I can get away from work on time

Tentatively in! Excited - might even try and make some mincepies

Hopefully in as well - looking forward to it. No pressure Dan.

Haha cheers. Weather for Wed looks good, not too cold and despite rain forecast for for tomorrow it's looking dry for Wednesday fingers crossed

P77 of today's Time Out, just need to work out how we'll sneak out bikes up to floor 31 of the Shard

Ok, due to current marital strife i still don't know if I'm looking after the child or not at the moment. Still in with a possibility of bailing

Hi all, just heads up I'll be at Look Mum Hands a bit past 8 and aim to leave at 8:30. See you all there

Whoop whoop!

Gonna be a beautiful clear night by the looks of it.

Looks like good fun I'm in

Good stuff.

If turn-out is close to the number on the list then I might ask for a volunteer or two to backstop if that's cool, parts are a little windy and we have to cross a couple of big roads so would be nice to make sure the group stays together.

What is the rough distance and finishing point?

Somewhere between 16-20 miles (depending on how we're feeling) and finishing at Charing Cross

Is this fixed only?

It'd be nice if we're all fixed but no good people will be turned away because of they gearz

Do I have to have proper lights?
