That was great fun guys, thanks for organizing it Jon. And thank you to everyone to being so friendly to a new face. I love this city, and cool people like yourselves make it that much better. -Michael

Super cool ride, cheers to all those involved, though next time Glove! I hope everyone got home O.K. - Steve

Yeah thanks guys, had fun on my first ride. Relieved I could keep up.

Yeah I know, that's why I'm building her a racer. :)

Sorry I didn't get to meet everyone, but next time!

Thanks again to MA3K, wicked ride, good speed and I was drunk by the end so that's perfect. I particularly enjoyed playing 'circle the wagons' outside the Tate Modern and seeing Rob. and vunugu for Dunwich memories.

Man you just can't fuck with quiet London at night. Always a pleasure.

^^ Agreed, circle the wagons was fun.

^^ agreed, circle the wagons was fun.

sheeple!

But fucking great ride, London is quite a fun playground for a fixed gear after dark.

Cheers to those who knew the route and got us all through.

Amazing ride, lovely people, no rain and cool beer.

Thank you John for organising another great outing.

This ride is a golden ratio of pedallin, boozin and chillin.

Ace to see a couple of TFCALIRTAB'ers !

Great ride. Good pace, no mechanical or incidents, mandem tandem was epic.

Shame you had to bail, chalfie. Great to see faces old and new.

Props again to john for organising.

Enjoyed the football thread ride within a ride especially. No plastics, wetlips or bedwetters.

Gerald winning that girl.

Sorry I flopped. Works party, and work combined to make it a no. Apols

thanks for giving me the Twitter updates Mands, just a shame I couldn't hang about last nite, or I might have waited or tried to link up on route, fingers crossed will get to come to the start of the next one

Also, i really want a pattern spoke light thing, its totally boss and totally not gay.

thanks for giving me the Twitter updates Mands

you're welcome...tried to do my best but forgot at times, didn't know the names of some, and I can't text and ride very well :)

mands, was it you that led me home? It was lovely of you to go out of your way!
I was woken up the next morning at 6.45am by the security bloke at paddington basin because I had put one of my mooring line around his bridge; there was no cleat. Meandered up the canal a bit further and then slept till lunchtime. blurgh.
worth it, would do it all again in an instant etc.

Oui!!

really nice night the ony thing missing was a dazzling firework display or two
i was quite suprised at the pace of the ride usually it's a wait at every bridge with a slow meander in between them.. but there were some pretty fast sections towards central london ... hope everyone kept up !

thanks again john for organising ... perfect route direction as usual
nice to meet you all out there

here

so pricey, so cool.

chapeau and rep

Absolutely no probs. Party on the boat next time!!!

Tandem pilot here. Awesome ride last night. We've never worked our bike that hard.

If the guy with the broken sturmy archer wants help with it, get at me on here.

Oh that's me! I'll explain you my problem via PM, thanks for this!

Loic

Cheers to John for leading the way. Nicely paced, quick enough to stay warm and just enough break time for a nip or five of whiskey, again to stay warm.

Really enjoyed rolling through the night again with some familiar faces and some new ones too.
