So pleased you guys got a star-filled-sans-cloud night!

Really looking forward to Nick's semi-proposed, half discussed summer observatory ride.
Make it happen Nick :-)

this one really made me laugh. I know, I should know better.

^ afternoon tea

just remembered i had this one

Mands,
That was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Thank you for all the organising, I'm sure you (and Nick) must have put a fair bit of time in - it was worth it. It was also nice to see some faces I haven't seen for a while. Sorry I didn't get to swap names with anyone I didn't know. My only dissapointment was not going past Goldsmith's Hall, where I used to go every morning (round the back in the London Assay Office) back in the late 70's/early 80's.

Re-the faster, less stopping version someone wrote about earlier. You must have read my mind. I was thinking, a high-speed-dash through London's nooks & crannies might be fun!

Oh, how come I've only just noticed this? Nobody tells me anything any more. Looks cool...

yeah sorry about that, we were trying to keep it out of your sight.

They ride out from Enfield every Sundy morning, 9 or 9.30 (often 2 groups)

I do intend to go out with them again but I haven't the time to go tomorrow & next week (2 March) I'm looking forward to The London City Wards ride.

anyone thinking of doing this again?
It's 21 April
112km or 54km

^ha! no, this time I was in lycra sans any bag or lock.

^^ chris, im sure you're right. I do need to get more miles in, im sure my fitness has tailed off in the last 5 years since ive changed work and don't need to commute

just watched this on here:

good film - spotted a few faces from @Braker 's London - Bristol ride a few years ago

ok, so went on 1st club run with Southgate CC this morning (sunday). there were about 30 people of very mixed ability (by the looks of them). 9:30 1st group of about half, set off - they were supposed to be the slightly quicker group & 5 mins later rest of us set off. pace was pretty easy - I was the only fixed rider, and we got to log cabin at Abridge at 10:50 (15miles apparently) so kinda slow. then most went back and 8 of us went on to Matching Green, a pint at the Chequers and then back. nice day out - according to another rider's strava we averaged 14.5. unfortunately I bonked as I left the rest back in Enfield - defo not enough food. was only expecting to be out for 3hrs! reckon I did about 65 miles.

Would probably fit on the front if used with a recessed nut.

I hardly new him. Only met a couple or three times. So sad. My heartfelt thoughts go out to his family and friends

You do realise that there should be a question mark at the end of that sentence? :)

grammar racist. also you've got no nose :-]

^ that old git's just a show-off

(1) Firstly, one does not say 'the colour(-)blind', but 'colour(-)blind people'. That's political correctness for you right there.

Oliver, just because it's on the internet you shouldn't be dropping your standards. Can we please use the term 'people of low spectral definition capabilities'.

good chance they will, especially if you can leave it till the day

if there's anyone out there pondering... get on the reserve list.
Fun, informative, easy, original yadda yadda...

oh yes, especially good if there just happens to be a clear night! (still considering buying a scope after the last one)

Vintry I like it.
...but the problem is it's a Sunday (chosen because the City is quiet then!) but not much will be open unfortunately.
We'll see what my research can uncover.

hmph, hip flask & tramp beers then I suppose

yeah maybe. I haven't actually been on a ride with them yet! also their rides start in Enfield Town - not Southgate

I contacted Finchley RC a few years ago but was politely told to fuck off. "We're not accepting any more people at the moment unless you are of the right category of rider". I've recently been considering Southgate CC who seem to be a bit more up my street!

.

Would be good to finish at Vintry - we can all have a glass of wine
