    Which train station is it looking like?

  • I'd prefer going from Victoria as my office is just round the corner but if others prefer Blackfriars that would be cool.

  • I'm considering this - although i may have to go and pick up a Malm chest of drawers from a certain large Swedish shop in Edmonton....

  • The IKEA excuse being triggered twice for the same ride--it almost feels like the forum of old again.

  • Victoria will be best for me, but as I'm still a maybe should not be considered the deciding vote...

  • Hey @MarleneS nice to have you along. Apologies in advance if you're a well-seasoned night rider and/or old guard, but in case you aren't and this is your first time out with ThNRK then it might be helpful to read this (if you haven't already): https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/253505/ Pace-wise this season has been a bit over 16mph to give you an idea. See you in Otford!

  • Any station works for me, I just need to point my bike in the right direction

  • I'm assuming @MarleneS the same Marlene that came on the Roydon ride. In which case it's good to have you along again.

  • I missed the Roydon ride so my apologies (glad I got them in advance)

  • Yeeees- so excited to join you again :)

  • I am in.

    Train - can do either - would sort of prefer Blackfriars as its closer to home on the way back but can easily do Victoria

  • In for this; would favour Blackfriars as it's closer from work but don't mind Victoria either

  • I'm still keen for this, however I've hit a bit of pothole in my prep.

    Managed to leave the little rubber strap for my front light somewhere on the shed floor this morning. Does anyone have a usable front light they could bring out for me to borrow? I'd only need it for the actual ride as I've got a little flasher for getting from Vic to Vauxhall on the way back...
    Let me know....

  • OK, let's have a vote on this.

    Victoria Train:
    1) middleofnowhere
    2) Scrabble
    3)

    Blackfriars Train
    1) mikey5000
    2) cgg
    3)

  • I don't have a spare front but I do have a little rubber strap that may work. It's a handlebar mount for my bluetooth speaker which I won't be taking, what light have you got?

  • Pretty standard affair. Needs to make it round an oversized handlebar (31.8)

  • Ah, might not work then, would have been ok for light with a single cylinder body. This is the setup...
