Shame that many of you wont be joining but completely understand the kalibosh of the weather.

Have enjoyed doing reccies last two days so perhaps can run this properly (Pajamas may want some input) once the weather operatives resume normal service.

funnily enough i was just about to post up here, got distracted by the sad news over on track forum.

i've been progressively more relieved i backed out last week.. back is fine after all now but the weather is awful! good luck and fair play to those who are still going out for a ride tonight, i would be happy to reschedule the proper lights ride after christmas if people are up for it.. before the christmas lights are turned off for another year and when the gaps in the original ride have been filled. john it would be a pleasure to combine our ideas over the next few weeks.. and get a much-needed couple of rides in of course.

have a good night whoever goes out.

I'm in tonight, even if it's just me and dropout.

#hotdate

in also, so thats at least three!

you've just halved my chances.

or have you? my maths/stats was never that hot.

will be at trafalgar square too at 8.30... not sure I'll do the whole thing though...

Shit looks like I can't make it anymore...
Sorry

I went at the end... so shut up oli!

^useless...

Have fun. I am on the couch with a hot cup of tea and a biscuit ;)

sad.
I'm here and I'm looking at nelsons penis

LFGSS on Ice.
So much fun, thanks to dropout for organising such a good ride.
Highlights were the cheesy group photos and tearing through the snow down primirose hill.
My hands hurt.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

The same could be said about my 2 3/4 hour meeting tonight.

Glad you had fun!

great ride, chappeau to dropout for not dropping out. report later, off to bed now.

I didn't realise this was last night, I was gig going at the O2, had been arranged for ages but didn't realise it was the same date. So belated apologies.

Look forward to the full report.

Phew! That was awesome. We had a small group of 6 - I think it was Dropout, conker, laner, vello, marcus, and myself. Somehow john guided us through the deserted streets of London with many wonderful sights. I think we had a more western route that the original but got plenty of christmas lights! Plus commentary on LFL's architecture...

We ended up at brick lane beigels for a snack at about 1ish, after cruising through the alleys and backstreets around St Pauls/bank. Highlights for me were the cyclo x down primrose hill and all the icy backstreets, and the barbican. And a nice small group - I think it would have been a nightmare with more than 10 or so.

But some skilled riding given all the ice and only one small spill (and one puncture). Big thanks to dropout for a great ride! It was awesome. I have no idea how he remembered that whole route...

I have some shite pics which I'll upload a little later.

Just when I was thinking nobody cared :(

Pity about your prior, it was good fun. Uploading pics now...

I was at the O2 too! Always expect to bump in to somebody I know there, but didn't. Rubbish.
Shouldn't you be at work, Oli? Buses running without complaint, you'd have been there in no time.
/have only just got to work (90 minutes for 8 miles, everybody!)
