Christmas Lights Ride 2016

Fuck you 2016, what a shit year. But it's nearly over and we're close to Christmas so I thought I'd try to bright some joy to our roughened spirits and ride around to look at some festive lights. Starting at Look Mum on Old Street we'll swing by two quick spots in the City and then head West , about a 16 mile loop ending at the Mall / Charing X. Leaving LMNH 8:30 at the latest - I know LMNH is #dolla but it's handy for this ride :)

Lights are gonna look pretty disappointing at 10.30am, and not sure I'm gonna make it in 6 mins. ;-)

That was demonstrably not my fault. [now edited, thanks]

In. You might also want to correct 'Look Mum Hands'. :)

Considering how safety conscious I am I think I prefer it this way.

Ho ho ho! (In!)

I've been waiting all year for that

Once the 1st Dec arrives, I'll just be playing Mariah all month long!

Considering how safety conscious my mum is I think I prefer it this way.

Fixed. :)

In!! Great to see this thread :-D

Yaya

Yay!

Is this the same franchise as 'Those London Lights' or has it been re-branded due to a drop-in attendees?

Hopefully in anyway!

Um, I dunno! @Dropout has forum caché I couldn't hope to emulate plus his rides were like 35 miles long. But this is a ride in December to see some London lights so....yes? Anyway hope to have you along!

hope I can make this. haven't done a "london lights ride" for several years*

*note to self - bring hip flask

I don't know either. To be honest I'll have work the next day so although a 35 mile long ride is a romantic idea I'll be glad it's shorter.

Day before my work Christmas do. What a fun and festive week i have lined up :-D

Will you be fixie-skidder -ing ?

Good work YAL, I was thinking about dropout's London Lights rides a couple of days ago and hoping someone might have the cojones to try and emulate one of them.

16 miles strikes me as plenty for a week-night ride with a bag full of mince pies and Red Stripe.

I will but on the all-city as the look is still not finished.

Even discussing the Look on this thread makes me feel #blessed

Bump for this!

I'll be a little worse for wear when I come to this as I will be coming from works drinks...

Thanks for the bump! I hope it gets a little warmer for this ride otherwise we'll look like Michelin persons bundled up for this.

Should be in for this - any chance of bringing it forward an hour or so or I've got to kill two hours after work

I could always spend 2 hours extra in work but meh.....

Anyone else from west London considering this?
Maybe meet up, west-central, before heading over to LMNH?
