Insomniac rides

Most of my riding seems to happen between 10pm and 1am these days. (I'm slaving over a hot thesis all day, and just know I won't get to sleep unless I go out and stretch my legs first.) It's a glorious time to be out - nice and quiet, hardly anyone else on the roads - so give me a shout if anyone wants to come out and join me. There's so much fun to be had in London late at night - it upsets me that no one seems to be having it!

Regular nocturnal once a monthers head to various parts of the coast......slow paced and allsorts of bikes, usually a couple of fixed riders. I joined them back in May and am planning to go this Friday too. Hardest part is certainly getting to Hyde Park corner......not a problem for you though!

Ooh - yes, I've done loads of these in the past! (Wish you hadn't told me there was one this Friday - my deadline isn't till Monday.)

But for now I'm thinking just of off-the-cuff jaunts round London. If anyone finds themselves at a loose end at about 9.30 tonight, post on this thread and let's meet somewhere improbable...

where are you based emilia? im also on deadline for monday and spend all day [surfing the internet] working...

Most my riding seems to happen between 10pm and 1am these days.

ain't dat the truth

Em, having no job to get up for in the morning I do exactly the same. Just last night I was thinking how important it was to do it as much as possible before winter sets in proper.

I'll check this thread later

I'd be well up for this occasionally. I'll keep an eye out on the thread.

Sounds good to me too, i'd be in for some of that, i do it sometimes myself, you're dead right about late night riding around town, its great fun..
Cant do tonight though, riding down to epping forest after work to do a few laps.. But will keep this in mind, would be up for one next week some time..

count me in..... i love cruising along the south bank a 3 in the morning...awsome fun!

Tonight! Meet in the middle of Waterloo Bridge at 10pm! (Unless anyone has better ideas.)

(Post on this thread if you're coming, otherwise I won't hang around.)

i can't do it tonight. mayb tomorrow or the weekend?

me too - love riding late at night, probably my favourite time! and having recently become self employed means i regularly take off anytime between midnight and 3am for a couple of hours... then back home to work like a true insomniac!

gonna head to trixiedix shortly, but if nobody's about due to rain etc i may well pop over to waterloo bridge for 10pm - so maybe see you later emilia, otherwise i'll definitely keep an eye on/use this thread in the future..

Em et al, won't make tonight.

Stuck in stratford.

Though I reckon this thread has legs

peace, ride safe

If I were in London right now I'd certainly be up for it.. when I'm back I'll keep my eye on this

On my way out now. I'll hang around at the bridge till about 10.10. Maybe.

+1 for starting this thread.

Cycling from 10 - 2am is the best time to be rolling around London, I've recently started taking pictures as the city is quite & pretty. Last night i fell off my bike at 0mph but luckily no one was around to see, the beauty of the Greenwich foot tunnel at 12.

Just got read this at 9.55pm and need to do some shit around the house. Otherwise I'd be in like Flynn. Hope you had a good ride Emilia, see you some other time.

Just got in (still sweating onto my keyboard) and apparently a whole gang of people were waiting on the bridge and I managed to miss them. Not sure how that happened, but hope you had a good ride without me.

(Maybe next time I should wear a big flashing light or something. Oh wait, I was...)

up for these at random days, when I'm in london. started research project today, and brain hurts.
did anyone know about the dual edged sword that is Hexokinase II?

hi emilia - fred, dancingjames, bristlypioneer and myself 'sprinted' to the middle of waterloo bridge, arriving at 10.10pm (precisely, james has a geekily accurate watch!).. waited till almost 10.30 but realised we must've missed you.. somehow! hope you had a good ride, we ended up buying bagels and munching them under the gherkin - nice idea fred! some either time, will be watching this great thread... thanks em!

Oh dammit - you had the ride I wanted! (I keep getting cravings for late-night bagels.) Wish I'd hung around for a bit longer. Ah well. Watch this space.

Emilia

Put your number on the numbers thread and people can contact you.

We did look for your number on the forum but not luck.

Hope to join you for a late night jaunt soon

next tuesday Emilia?

Wish i'd been able to do last night, but had a ride out to epping forest to do, legs are feeling it this morning too.. Will keep an eye on this thread, think its a great idea.. nice one Emilia.

count me in..... i love cruising along the south bank a 3 in the morning...awsome fun!

I bet you do hoops! You dirty boy!

you cant beat a good bit of cruising.
last time i did it i got approched by a group of men i tight leather trousers, they asked me if i wanted to go to a party with them.
