2008-05-17 Sat - Secret London Night Ride

cataclombs? they are in camden

Camden catacombs are only accessible by boat

that right there is a good enough reason to buy us a small infalteable raft for the ride.

i know some guys who did that

some pics

I'dbeen living in london for 10 yrs and only just found you guuys after I moved away although i keep a 1980s 531 Raleigh on standby at my girlfriends for my frequent jaunts to the capital -- I need to join in one of these late night ride outs.

yeah come along! They are great fun and friendly.

Hey,

Just signed on to this today, secret london ride sounds like a right laugh, see you there.

No the secret graveyard I found was in St Martins Gardens round the back of Camden Road.
bit of history about it here
there is a big mound in the middle of the garden which is apparently a mass burial pit, worth checking out this little park
those catacombs look awesome though!

Max's linked photos look just like the catacombs of the roundhouse (before it was tarted up).

What about Black Books?

it's at the end of my road.

(bit late but..)
mate, i live on sandwich street !?! wooo neighbours

Those catacombs look rad. I'm most definitely in.

I'm new to the forum but a long time fixie. I'd love to do this ride. The catacombs sound wicked. So does the secret graveyard. Where is it starting from?

D

Starting at Cleopatra's needle on the embankment and finishing at Oxo tower on south bank. if people dress smartly we might go to the bar for some drinks at the end of the ride ;)

If we go to the Oxo tower you can buy my drinks Mr Balls.

by the end of the ride tommy, you won't need more drinks! :p

Nice one, count me in for sure.

i'm in..... ps - loving the saddle thanks dale!

note: i'm away from 1/5-15/5, so any Q's just ask jonny!

good work dogs, looks pretty much looks like the trail we took.

and i will forever remember that romantic sunset we shared ;)

ssshhhh! they'll get jealous :p

oh, and i like the 1000 punctures tag - i did actually manage to get one on the reccy, though it was a pinchflat for not jumping the rear up the curb in time
