29/30 th September night ride. Dockyards, ghetto alleys, foot tunnels, skyscrapers and more!

dogsballs will be there on the holdsworth, finally together! :)

Wicked, looking forward to seeing it.

few white bits, so easily recognised. mike couldn't believe it was roxy's old bike.

good work and happy birthday dogsballs, it's rather unlikely for me to make it tonight, still have a lot of work to finish off... show me some pictures of the bike later will you?

Good fun, if a little cold.

Nice to see a good turn out with lots of new faces.

We should really rename this the MacGuyver ride.

Somehow I missed this until it was over - I'd be up for a repeat if it's run again.

nice ride fellaspeeps...nice to meet you all. cheers for helping me out with the miracle puncture repair (team). plastic bottle/tape/scissors now essential kit for random razor blade encounters.
I hope you found the illusive Offy tommy was looking for?
Will post up some pics/video next week.
cheers all!

Top, top night Gents and Lady...

Great to meet everyone - looking forward to doing it again soon.

Roland-The-Pedal-Strike

yeah, that was real good fun.
Woolwich foot tunnel was a blast, that bloke halfway through really didn't what to make of 20-odd people blasting past on bikes!
The time trials by the Thames Flood Barrier was funny too, Ma3k has times I believe.

Have a few bits of vid I may try to splice together during the week.
Wonder what the music should be eh Dale? ;-)

good to meet the new faces too.

yeah, that was a fucking awesome introduction, folks! thanks to all for helping me flip my wheel over whilst fixing PeterD's tyre and all the support on my first fixed gear ride - i'm sure i had some beginner's luck in the time trial ;)

i've got a few pics that i'll put up soon somewhere and look forward to joining you on the next one.

PS, anyone any idea of how far we travelled? my whole body is certainly telling me about it today.

thats what i was thinkin ;)

I was finkin earlier it might be nice to come over from Paris for one of these rides but you know its pain putting the bike on the train and all that, but then I remembered my Dahon is 90% finished, so I think I might invite myself along one of these days, you know if hippy don't mind me sleeping on his couch that is

hehe sure.. just as long as you are housetrained (or at least make less mess than me) and happy riding in from the wild, wild west.. yeeehaw!

slamm

guess what song was last on the radio, b4 i left this morning, doh!!! i just got it outta my head. very fitting title as well ;)

awesome ride, as much fun as you can have with your clothes on!! funny all the clubbers checking you out as you ride home at 3.30am

Yep nice ride all good to get out again.

Distance wise prob not that far, 20 - 30 km?

fuji-front sorry I did not get you message until now, if you still want a copy for what ever reason let meknow.

Yeah, that was awesome fun: loads of people (about 23, I think); great noodles; an off road section; a curving laser in the sky; macgyver style puncture repair; ghettodrome racing (can't wait to see the photos from that - also to gloat over my winning time); hilarious sprinting through the Woolwich tunnel; bumping into an astonished kid with a puncture on his bmx, he couldn't beleive his luck; getting hella lost near the Excel centre; Jon really, really, really, wanting to go on the DLR; wheelies round Canary Wharf; climbing the traffic light sculpture; off license hunting (and finding); and ending up at Ken's house for some well deserved drinking and chatting.

What a great night, thanks all of you.

Oh and also, super props to d0cA above for riding fixed for the first time and entering the time trial with about 10 minutes experience. One to watch...

thought u were like that all the time tommy :p

i like this, very lost in translation, outta focus, surreal pic

I was a bit out of focus too, hence the blurry photos..

dogsballs thought u were like that all the time tommy :p

Ha ha:)

Contrast in lighting over the route, the mega lit up area of Docklands and the dark industrial areas nr Greenwich.

Yeah, that one is sweet. I'm also very chuffed to see none of me 'stripped to the lycra' for the time trial. :-)

i'm sure they will pop-up. even if we have to get the cctv footage ;)

Keeping it real.
