Insomniac rides

just reporting in that me and Crabtree went for a proper insomniac's ride last night. Started at 0015hrs, finished around 0300.

It was a peach and as quiet as can be. I'm cooking up a proper late night ride now.

What's this about cooking up a ride. I've spent 5 hours driving a van today I need a fix in the two wheels. ADdress the inbalance. You following your nose?

sorry Caleb, I meant a proper ride that's researched and shit.. been riding most of this afternoon, sorry to hear about your vanbound hours....

pm'd you...

Getting carried away. The tiredness is setting in now. I really need to sleep and eat.

Anyone up for tomorrow (thursday) night? I have nothing to do and would fancy a late night spin..

Maybe up for that depending on time
You were at the TT on Sunday right ?

I'd love to go out for a bit. I have a meeting tonight until about 9 in Homerton, so I think the earliest time I could make would be about 10. Whereabouts do you want to meet?

Hoping to make a ride out tonight but will let you know .
Ten sounds like a decent time .
Where too ?

Anywhere--I don't have any particular route in mind. We can decide on the spot.

Let's discuss meeting point a little later on here, perhaps when/if more people have piped up. (I don't have a mobile, BTW so will rely on this board.)

I'm also around in Homerton tonight (cause I live there). Would be up for a ride. Will check later for details.

OK--I'll be at:

The Barnabas Centre, 109 Homerton High Street, London
E9

7.30pm – 9pm

for the Cycling Club Hackney meeting. Come along if you like. We could then ride somewhere else to meet other people?

Cool will check in on this later too .
Leaving work now to get on bike weather is looking a bit dodge lets hope its not gonna rain !!

I so would, but I so can't. I'll be asleep by then. :-(

Sorry you can't come, Emilia. Another time!

@wibble--are you still up for it and if yes, which area are you in? Are you up for going to Homerton or should we meet you somewhere else?

@photoben and Stix--do you all want to meet in Homerton at the Barnabas Centre or somewhere else?

See above for my location if you still see this tonight. After the meeting I'll wait for a bit unless you've already turned up before the end.

I'm leaving the house in about 15 minutes, so after that I won't check the site.

Look forward to it.

You have probably logged off now so will make it over to hommerton way for about quarter to ten hope to see you there then .
Either we will cross paths or wont !!

watching a dvd with my flatmate, probably going to be out 10ish. Will keep my eyes peeled.

What are you riding so I can look out for you ?
I am on ss maroon KHS conversion and grey hoodie jacket that is :)
Can pm you my number if easier ?

Leaving now. on the off chance you get this, blue hoodie, silverish panasonic with red rims.

That didn't work then, must have missed you. Hope you managed to hook up and had a nice ride! Next time.

Crap new I should have printed the directions .... so I kinda cycled around for about a good 45 mins I knew I was near but shit .
But think I may have seen you fly past the bus garage bit down the no entry was that you ??
Am thinking major land mark meeting point for next time !!
Shit I feel bad :(

Not quite bad sense of direction !!
Still I managed a bit of a ride :)

Were you drinking in The Elderfield? Saw some bikes locked up. Was tempted by a pint, but got an early start tomorrow. Next time, always up for a night ride.

Nope not I
Yep next time when we dont all have the early start thing !!

Whoopsie.. Sorry guys I wrote that suggestion whilst slightly inebriated.. In the sober light of day however, I forgot that I had arranged to meet up with some friends and due to uni then rugby training then meeting up I couldn't get online in time to notify :(

For the record though, I'm South-East so Homerton would have been a big trek for me.. If you're ever up for a ride though post it on here and I'll do my best to get somewhere central

Central is best, no doubt. Perhaps the middle of Waterloo Bridge isn't such a bad meeting point for this type of ride. Things like this tend to work better if everybody can make lazy and reliable assumptions about meeting time and place and then just turn up if one is on without tormenting their tired mind with much further thinking.
