2012-06-20 - Midsummer Madness, Cutty Sark to Primrose Hill

Right then I think I have been awake long enough now(40 something hours).
Going to close the laptop before I fall asleep and start to drool on the keyboard.
Nice to meet you Ian and Digger and all the rest of you. Good night..

That was great ride, hats' off to Southwark Cyclist for organising it!

I was having such a good time that instead of going home (which is ten mins away from Primrose Hill) I decided to cycle back with everyone and have breakfast in Southwark!

Same again next year?

Glad you all had a good time! Sorry to have missed it, but I know I made the right decision...was SO much more on form at work yesterday and just spotting mistakes I made on monday today...would not have been a good look to sleep through another day!

Next time gadget!

... still haven't actually got to bed yet!*

OK, so I slept for 10 hours last night on the sofa in front of the telly

anything similar planned for this year? can't find much on the Greenwich nor Southwark cyclist's sites.

ilast years' ride was announced early may, so hopefully soon

We've not decided whether or not to lead it this year...midweek MSMs are always a bit problematic.

I wanted to do this last year but bailed, hopefully can do this year.

Please do! Last year was so much fun - especially the fry-up at the end. If you could organise a more exciting dawn, then it would be perfect.

Oh OK then. Will have a word with God about the weather :)

did i read somewhere that Brasil are bringing a statue of christ the redeemer as a gift for the olympic games and plonking it on top of primrose hill..

i am in btw.. primrose hill is on my doorstep

If there isn't an official/Southwark led ride this year, how about an LFGSS one instead?

I can confirm we will be doing this :) xx

Yay!

It has to be done \0/

^^^ @missmouse YAY! - in.

i think it's the madness of it that i like most of all, that and the look on the faces of the new age hippys as primrose hill was besieged by 50 cyclists

forgot to ask, what's the date?

... only joking

Yay ^^^^^^^^

Though really this ride doesn't need a leader, we all know the way and it's short.

definitely... just publicise wheres open to meet for breakfast after…

Breakfast last year was at 6am at Terry’s Café, 158 Great Suffolk Street, SE1.

Other recommendations welcome.

Hurray! I loved it last year - despite the rain (and the slightly pathetic dawn chorus).

Terry's was great - would be brilliant if you could persuade them to open early again.

I'm sure that can be arranged ;)

Last year was so much fun, I'll defo be up for this again!
