2008-05-17 Sat - Secret London Night Ride

9pm cleopatras needle i think

@horatio: I have the 3led rear one, it's great, 1led front too, which is good for occasional rides, but for a longer ride i'd rather have something more visible.

I might bring out my crazy x2 halogen 6v lights tomorrow...

I was thinking about bringing my tripleshot but it might be overkill, no?

yeah go on, let's get some serious lamps going on this ride!

I haven't used mine for years, need to see if the batteries will still take charge...

START
9pm Cleopatra's Needle (Embankment)

i'm still not saying

Why not?

it's a secret silly

He'll be there. He's just a tease...

I'm looking forward to this one...

a party on the move. great fun. see you there.

Count me in. I'm riding SS at the moment as I haven't been arsed to get a lockring for my new Fillmore. Which reminds me, I'll swap a new 18T 1/8" sprocket for a similar 3/32" if anyone brings one along.

i have a spare lockring (for free if u want), i can bring it along with tools to get your bike fixed before the ride

Thanks, briankwan, brilliant! I think I'll leave the fixing up for the daylight, though. You can have the 1/8" rear sprocket if you have any use for it, I'm sticking with 3/32".

the hour draws near. huzzah!

lets hope it don't fucking piss it down later!!

Does the start point have more room and less screaming wenches than the aus day ride?

my widgets saying 14 degrees and rain. but fuck that, its been lying to me all week. if it pisses it down ill just have to drink more.

after a late fitness test I'm good for this, looking forward to it and meeting a few more forum people.

Few questions though, what kind of pace is this ride going to be at? and just out of interest what PSI will most of you be running? Really don't want to get a flat.

The pace within the group will vary between Warp 6.5 and impulse, but there are usually stops to let people catch up. I like to stick to dogsballs who's leading this ride and he goes at a good steady pace.
