2008-05-17 Sat - Secret London Night Ride

what's really bothering me is that i drunkenly tucked into a kebab on the way home without really thinking, then when i finally got in and turned the lights on the same hand that had been five minutes before shoving bits of lamb into my mouth was covered in blood! lucky j seems like a clean-living sort of guy...
lulz. me too, and on my jeans. Were all blood brothers now. Leo tried to call him, guess he must be sleeping.

good times !! Just wanted to say thanks to all for organising . Was epic and so glad continued on from greenway - was the best bit ! Also slightly surreal with all the 20,000 moon walk ladies in bras at the end . Ill post some photos soon !

So i'm peacefully making my way home, just heading down to the Greenwich foot tunnel, and there's this crowd of shiny bikes. I ask what's up, and this bloke called Jay (i think) says "we're on a secret night ride round london, and you're coming with us."... and, well, wow, that was cool. Thanks.

yeah that was j. glad you came along, was a wicked night even if i did end up throwing up off the pier and later having legs splattered with blood.

Any pictures of the tunnel?

Awesome ride.
Great meeting so many new faces and the old faces too!
Feel totally knackered today, but it was worth it.
Roll on the next ride!

I cannot believe I did not come on this ride...not only does it look like you all had an amazing ride / night, but a physio from work I fancy was on that moonwalk (not pictured I hasten to add)...gutted...arghhhhhh...I am never gonna miss out on a ride again...whatever ride is next (will be my first) Im in

are you tom?

Tom is that you?

tis. we picked tom up at the tunnel innit, and jay probably drunkenly forced him to join the forum too.

despite puncture somewhere in the middle of nowhere and minor crash at 'alley of the death' ;) had good time. quality and pure enjoyment. thanks for all.

No it was Jim (hillbilly) who did the forum forcing I believe.

are you tom?

yes. am tom, and it was hillbilly who told me to come here.

Great ride.
Highlights: Hitting the front with Jonny n a few others n upping the pace on the way down to the Greenwich tunnel.
Changing Ray's (Shinscars) puncture in record time so as not to loose the group.
Racing along Jamaica Rd after the Taxi crash only to find we had gone the wrong way so deciding the only resolve was to race back.

Lowlights: Peeling pilky (i guess?) off the tarmac.

If that was you that went down on Tooley St that was me, no worries.

oi, i got myself straight up !!
but thanks, sorry was pissed off so i think i rode off a bit fast.

looks like i got off lightly, hope ur ok

great ride everybody.

c u all soon.

does anybody know how far we travelled ?

got the distance from the the first entry - according to the gmap - 22 miles.

cheers.

I'm all good ta, cheers to build mongrel and frank. Had the pleasant experience of having my tongue stitched back together as well as my top lip, all good now except for the fact my top lips the size of a fetus, off to the dentist in the morning to get my teeth sorted. All in all a successful night. Sorry to those I bled on.

sorry to hear. hop you heal up well and fast. I was there until the end but didn't realize there was an accident. Where did you crash and what happened?

heading up to camden after the ride, pissed, had to stop suddenly, j [cake] slammed his front break and went over his bars. should be fine just looked butters tho. spouting blood.

.

great ride people. i'm amazed at the turn out. apart from monopoly ride, we were getting 20-30 max, and i think the most we counted was 48 or 50. for the ones that weren't there you can't get a feel from the pics, there were people everywhere. also great to see new faces!!! as i said to numerous people, i know a lot of people on the forum, but still didn't know half of you.

anyway, glad you all enjoyed it! :)
