Thanks for the support everyone. It was an amazing experience to be racing at such an event.
Did anyone see the penny crash? Everyone walked away, though there as some blood and a big wheel died - Penny farthing crash at the 2013 London nocturne, rear facing on bike camera. - YouTube
Saw it? I just missed it by a inch (that's me in the red Rapha jersey)! The guy in front of me rode straight-over the downed penny. The chap who crashed needed a few stiches - and a new wheel:

A blast from the past! Haven't been here for years...
Did a few 200k audaxes on it, perfecting the spec - two rear sprockets (69 and 63"), day rack and bag, moving the brake around (from original position to bar end), stiffer fork spring, narrower higher-pressure tyres, etc. Then finally did a 300k audax, which rather finished me off - never did another after that, and the Moulton was shoved, unwashed, under the stairs. Bought one of those new-fangled road bikes with gears and spent a year on that. Then, a few months ago, I moved office to easy cycling distance from my house. Pulled the Moulton out and started using that, but the spec was all wrong - so everything got changed back to OEM spec - kick-shift and all. Seems Moulton got the spec right for commuting! Have added the lovely SKS mudguards, and am looking to see if I can retrofit belt drive.
