^They fix to the spokes with zip ties so would be a pain to remove and reinstall frequently. Haven't bothered taking them off in the few months I've had them. No probs so far.

Take the batteries with me when I lock the bike up is all. Less identifiable that way, I reckon.

In for this. Looks like a cracking route.

In true LFGSS fashion I reckon groups will be worked out at last possible moment, based on who actually turns up, like 5 minutes after we should have started.

Also in for feeder ride from Richmond Park.

Was almost like this all over again, but not sure the rider shared the same name as me.

No shared moniker I'm afraid. I'll keep the "rides like a god" bit though if you don't mind. Even if it isn't true.

Saw a bearded chap, head to toe in Rapha on a ti fixed bike in Richmond Park around 2.45 today, I was similarly attired, bearded and also on a ti fixie skid bike going the other way. Also got overtaken by another fixie skidder on a white framed bike. Was just back from riding to Windsor, so a little tired.

That was me. Afternoon. What a fine one it was for a few laps of the park. Actual sunshine and blue sky for a change. I'll blame that for my inability to spot you. Dazzled by the light or some such bollocks. Did see the bloke on the white frame a few times though.

Actually have now just recollected another possible fixie skidder spotting, did you have a messenger bag?

Many thanks to John and to all of you for the great ride yesterday!

Sweet photos Sole.

Cheers John for the organising and all for the company.

^Get in touch with the guys in the shop directly and ask. They're a friendly and knowledgable bunch in my experience.

Blue Pompino at Westferry Rd/Limehouse Causeway junction just before 8 this morning. Think it was Jurek.

I've liked everything Japanese I've had, it all seems very clean, but has some lovely flavours, the yamazaki 18 is beautiful.

There was a guy doing samples of the 12 year old at Waitrose Canary Wharf this afternoon. Even though I'd just popped out from work I did have to stop for a quick chat and a wee sample (or two)... v nice if a little pricey at £35 or so.

Not another one. RIP rider.

That is absolutely outstanding!

Are you kidding? The collective shame of all Saffas over that despicable incident meant that it couldn't possibly have made it into the movie.

Will have to figure out how to customise my lights for this. Flaming wheels FTW.

In Canary Wharf, South Colonnade for swirly cross winds and West India Ave where you often get a head on blast going west that feels like it will stop you in your tracks.

So my wife storms up the stairs with her best "I found a stash of pr0n" tone in her voice, and says "what the f**k is this you wierdo!!!!?"

and she's got my bow tie headband in her a hand and a "you better talk quick" look on her face.

Don't worry she'll get over it after the first few times you ask her to wear it.

Indeed a fine rolling ride on a glorious day. My thanks to those on point.

The Devonshire Arms was a great way to finish my oxbridge weekender.

Even saw one of the yacf blokes on my commute this morning whilst I was heading east along Narrow St. Not the wobbly bloke on the MTB though.

#hesstilldoinglapsofcambridge

Most pleasant day. Eight punctures was a bit crazy.

Nice few pints in Oxford and on the train back.

Cheers Alex for the lead out to Wandsworth Bridge on the way home.

I find myself cheering for the saffas for once.

Possibly up for this depending on whether I do the Gilliver's Travels the day before.

This route looks a little more fixed friendly though.

Anyone seen this TFG / DSC faux-pro.. I think it's pretty dreamy;

That is the sex.

Cheers to John for leading the way. Nicely paced, quick enough to stay warm and just enough break time for a nip or five of whiskey, again to stay warm.

Really enjoyed rolling through the night again with some familiar faces and some new ones too.

Ledus are sold out, any idea when there'll be more?

Cheers

Pm RR, he's the guy making them...

Or email him at contactus@leduswheelus.com. That's what I did. Got a quick response with due date. Top service.

Seeing as I live in Tooting it'd be rude not to join in and start there. Can't promise to wear a wig though.

Previous time I did it, we met at the C&H then did a speedy ride straight to Kew, losing people en route.

Must be somewhere along in Wandsworth / Upper Putney..?

Chalfie - will ride down with you? (If I'm not filming over the weekend).

Google maps tells me to go past your place then towards wandsworth

No ideas about the boozers down that way, I can have a look.. somewhere on the 214 is direct

If you're going through Tooting Bec on A214 then The Wheatsheaf, is a good pub. Decent selection of ales and other intoxicants.

A few sheffield stands outside. Big windows so you can see your bike.
