I thought the "breakie list" was for those wanting to partake in breakfast - silly me. Yes, I will be devouring breakfast at Lock 7

Cool beans. Then we only need* the one RIDE LIST I reckon.

Bruce, your so-called fact is rubbish. I am adding you:

Not sure about getting to Cutty Sark in the wee hours though..

8. Linkpin Solstice
   
   

The word solstice comes from Latin solstitium or sol (the sun) + -stit-, -stes (standing). The summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, which is located at 23.5° latitude North.

^ Nice factoid Linkpin.

Whatok, why you no join us for breakfast on the canal? I will even adopt my best Chelsea accent for you :)

Sounds good! I only mentioned the regency because someone else did way up there somewhere..

I should probably post the route again as I can't edit the OP:

Right, we have two leaders - Dick and Lu.

The ride will be similar as in previous years but with the following change at the end:

2am Cutty Sark Gardens
2.30am Southwark Needle (south end of London Bridge)
3am Bar Italia 25 Frith Street
4.30am on the top of Primrose Hill
6am Regents Canal to Lock 7 in Hackney (they will lay on something special for us)

Balls, they've just changed my contract at work. So on the downside, I can't come on the whole ride. On the plus side, I'll be starting work at half sevenish just round the corner from Lock 7, so I could join the ride at Primrose Hill if that's acceptable?

^ yes bearfoot, it is at night and most people (I believe) arrange not to work the following day.

Anyway, what's with the "Sweet kitty furry kitty! Purrrrr purrrr purrr!"? Bears don't pur, they growl
