for future rides, surely there needs to be designated pubs for those with nothing else to do instead!!

Shame this didn't happen. At least I sorted my bike and washed some kit! Even got ready to leave then a last minute check and I changed plans - Bagel in Brick Lane - coffee in Hanbury Street - browse in BLB and a ride home to Archway. Thanks for organising Nic. Next time. Mel.

Yeah, it is a pity as it is a good ride and the telescopes are always fun to play with. However this ride is more sensitive to weather than most and the chances of opening up were minimal according to the wind forecast. I will speak to the observatory and see about a new date in the near future...

sure was a windy day - progress north against the headwind would have been slow, possibly ending up in a break-away pub visit (!), which perhaps - if you'd have joined the pub trip Nic - would have disappointed some attendees looking forward sighting afar!

how about a summer re-schedule!?

I was thinking of looking for a date over Easter or Mid March...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
