thanks...great time

Good times. Huge turnout, great route with loads off-road. Shame about the Thames Barrier jobsworth.

Jon and Tommy, thanks for getting this on the road .Maybe a crack-of dawn Barrier TT, or else by the Beckham Acadamy?

Gus-glad to have given you back your identity!
Barny-well done on that sub 20.
Richard-have you considered bulk inner-tube purchasing?
P.J. a hoot of a home-leg after bagels.
Pajamas- nice attempt to get me to the Walworth killer-donut shop.
Fred for glowing in the dark.
Dave and Bruno for the local gen.

and all the loads of new faces-glad to have met you all.

Thank you everyone. It was great to meet you guys and I had a good time.

Looking forward to riding with you all again soon.

and thank You for keeling over into the bushes for no apparent reason and making us all laugh.

Great to meet everybody
nice ride
thank you all

A grand ride. Funny chats about ha ha's , riding in South Africa and handle bars. Also I must take the award for granny time around the barrier TT track. Has the dude with the not so cool tires/tubes got home yet? Until next time

very good easy peacy ride, thanks to John and Tommy for the organization, spot on.

nice part of the river that I didn't know, the foot tunnel always a high light, the TT with security inclusive and the greenway fun, dark and smelly.

also nice to meet a lot new people, and of course some of the usual suspect.

Just like to say I had an awesome night. Was my first group ride and I really enjoyed it. Was nice to meet those of you I had a chance to chat with. Good bunch of peeps. Looking forward to the next one!

fred, nice meeting you and your tunnel pictures came out beautifully.

richard, can't make it to HH today... for the past two weeks i've forgotten i was a student and haven't attempted school work, and this morning i looked at what is expected of me for the week, so i find myself stranded with my laptop for the day. i'll collect that $$ another time, it's all good.

here are the pictures i got : http://picasaweb.google.com/katerina.clauhs/LfgssNightRide20908#

thanks for a great night everyone! :)

I'd like to put out a big thanks to MA3K as he lead 99% of the route and it was his knowledge of London road that meant the reccy of the route was so easy and quick.

Well done people who made it, hello to all the new people I met, next time I see you I will have forgotten all your names. This may be frustrating to you but for me it's very exciting as I am like a gold fish whom is permanency surprised by the castle in it's bowl.

well done all who made it round.

Thanks for the great ride, good laughs, empty Jager bottle and the best ciggie I've ever smoked in my life. Hopefully I got some good pics to stick up later.

Where did the group end up? I bugged out after the Thames Barrier.

quality night all - thanks tommy, MA3k and flickwg for making this happen.

Great to meet so many new faces on the forum, and exchange ideas / and ogle admire the many things of beauty, including the views along the way.

if anyone wants any of the images higher res then PM me...

Good ride, nice to meet the many new faces and the old too.
Well done Jon, Tommy and Seb.

good ride, great company, really enjoyed it. Cheers Tommy and John.

who the hell was asking me about front lights last night? I have an update....

Thanks for a great evening. Enjoyed meeting so many bike riders and forumengers and plan to ride that route again as soon as possible in the day time. Cheers.

I didn't take many photographs(that came out well) but here is a good one:

is thaT a spoke wrap ?
mental...
thanks to Maek/Brick productions for guiding us through some v.funny and quality moments.
how mad was that bloke in the car with the megaphone about 5mins in ?? and the magical lanterns over the Cutty... nice !

well done to all for finishing - hope Tubbs got home safe.

until nxt time

good work Kattt n Freddd - just relived the whole night.

who the hell was asking me about front lights last night? I have an update....

i didn't ask about lights... i fell over and smashed my light, then i mentioned i might buy some knogs, you said you loved buying lights and didn't an excuse to get more and that knogs were shit! after riding in pitch darkness last night i kinda agree with you. anyway what the update?

thanks to flickwg, tommy and ma3k for night, also kattt and fred for the pics.

hehe me and my evangelising (have you seen the light?) :-)

actually it was a conversation I was having with Skully about a decent front light. The blackburn I have is great, which I told him, but I broke the clamp, which was not so great. Anyway, cut a long story short, after some research on t'internet, everyone's blackburn voyager clamps are breaking within months, so don't get one!

So I'm off to buy one of these http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Lupine_Betty_14_Front_Rechargeable_Light/5360038399/

£700!

even the finance option doesn't make it attractive to me, someone had one of these last night and i thought a car was following me for a minute...

think it might have been shootthebreeze
