2009-06-27 Sat Midnight - Overnight to Brighton

We'll be fine. This is just a passing storm and it's only going to make the ride more pleasurable. There may be some debris on the roads but as it was over so quickly I don't think there'll be a lot.

Its still mad in Camden! The road is flooded and theres still hail stones falling after 40mins! Wicked! Ride and shower at the same time!

Oh nice one guys. It glorious sunshine where I am. Had me thinking it was be a glorious ride.

By midnight it will have blown over and it will be as sticky as a toffee apple!

Yeah it'll be lovely and fresh, that smell!

hi!

hi!

Ha, I meant tonight but thanks and hi!

this weather was crazy! If it happens again me is chicken out - don't wait for me if I am not at Hyde Park Corner by 12.

The storm has passed over and the night will be warm and clear.

hmmmmm, am having bike troubles and with rubbish weather am also reconsidering.........

not tonight josephine!

oh... actually... it is tonight, josephine. my mistake. as you were.

i think you might be right

With the air now clear it's a great night for a ride to Brighton.

If the wind switched direction it would be perfect!

Have a good night.

hmmmmm, am having bike troubles and with rubbish weather am also reconsidering.........

Hope you manage to resolve your bike troubles, but there won't be rubbish weather--there was admittedly a bit of a scare earlier on, but the night will be lovely.

it's drying up already, should be nice tonight

a few people will be leaving from the east at liverpool st station / mcdonalds at 11.15 for those who didn't see earlier in the thread and would like to join

bike checked: check
brand new back tyre: check
eat carbs: check
lights and spare batteries: check
spare inner tybe: FAIL!!! panic.

can anyone swap inner tube for lager just in case? preferably before take off :-)

It's 60 miles to Brighton, we got a full bag of jelly babies, half a pack of cigarettes, it's midnight, and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

Mmmm...half thinking bout this.
Last night was fucking beautiful rolling round town nice n late.
See how the nxt coupla hrs pan out.
If not, enjoy this one for us all.

No problem unless its a 26 or 27 or a 650 or ...... er

Skiver,

I will be taking one spare tube and you're welcome to it if get a puncture before me.

I'm sure others will have the same sentiment

look for a silver woodrup

thanks values! I just found a repair kit as well.

I've got a couple of tubes and some patches packed, so hope to have enough cover...

Pre-ride curry, quick bottle a scotch, and then Brighton ho(ve). It's a rock and roll life, I tell you.

fixed

hohoho. thanks guys!

just found patches too.

H've got a load of spares incase anything goes tits up at the back.
